Spooktacular Poll: Which Vampire Are You Thirstiest For?

A thirst, a hunger, a craving. The urge that drives all vampires to feed has been described in many ways, but one thing is for sure: we can never get enough of these eternal heartthrobs.

Of all the vampires stalking the shadows of film, is there one you’d risk your neck for?

Choose Your Immortal Companion

Aaliyah, Queen of the Damned

So you crave death … literally! Akasha, played by pop star Aaliyah, is a terrifying temptress. She’ll take you on a pulse-pounding journey across the world, cementing her reign. Immortals and mortals alike quiver before her power and beauty. Will you aid in her path of destruction or meet your doom instead?

Bela Lugosi, Dracula

Universal Monsters’ Dracula (Bela Lugosi) is an elegant and refined choice. Eerie yet elegant, he will drape you in fineries and provide only the most extravagant decor. Death does not do you part but, instead, binds you forevermore.

Michael B. Jordan, Sinners

Who wouldn’t want a bite out of Michael B. Jordan? One half of the Smokestack twins, Stack is the more hot-headed of the pair, willing to risk more and lash out faster. His risky entanglement with his lover Mary is thrilling to behold. And so are those arms.

Salma Hayek, From Dusk Till Dawn

You’ll be absolutely entranced by Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek). When she dances, no mortal can look away, and that’s all part of her killer charm. Once you’re watching her, good luck tearing your eyes, mind, body, or blood away.

Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric, The Lost Boys

Why pick only one when you can have both? Enemies, friends, brothers, or a different dynamic entirely, David (Kiefer Sutherland) and Michael (Jason Patric) represent evil and good, respectively. But you can’t separate those concepts — or these killer vampire hooligans, who steal hearts in every scene.

Tilda Swinton, Only Lovers Left Alive

Often, vampires lose their sense of direction or purpose in their unending lives. Yet Eve (Tilda Swinton) remains euphoric in her immortality, even providing a more positive outlook for her despondent lover. Between an appreciation of life and an alluring, androgynous vibe, she’s a wonderful choice for a soulmate.

Song Kang-ho, Thirst

Forgive us, Father … but we will continue to sin. Catholic priest Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho) makes a compelling, slightly tortured vampire who really lets loose after his resurrection. Trouble is, you will have to compete with his insatiable appetite for his best friend’s wife.

There’s something about the supernatural confidence of certain vampires (sorry, Edward Cullen) that gets our hearts racing. Maybe it’s their centuries of wisdom or their effortless style but vampires are easily one of the most intriguing monsters out there.

Are you more of a Stack fan or do you seek the ancient embrace of Queen Akasha? Once you’ve cleaned yourself up, we invite you to find out which vampire story best suits your style. C’mon, dear reader, it’s only a quiz. Then let us know if we missed your favorite vampire crush over in the Sideshow Social Network or at side.show/geekgroup.
