Vampire Characters That Are Actually Scary

Ok, so Dracula is not that scary. He is kind of a man-slut and just found the right woman after centuries sort of like a way cooler, less sinister and more sophisticated Edward Cullen.

Louie and even Lestadt from Interview With a Vampire, um, not scary. Louie doesn't like eating people and Lestadt is sexy to chicks and dudes so at least you get to get your groove on with a hot stud before he drains every last drop of blood. He will have the decency to go downtown even if he is bleeding you dry. He's also very witty and charming.  The guy has charisma, what can I say?

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vampires are pretty lame. Come on, one of them is Pee Wee Herman. The Lost Boys, at least they were 80's eye candy. Again, just hungry teenagers like Edward Cullen, who is really 80 and just pretends to be a teenager.

The vampires in most movies are just searching for food and they are hungry so they have to eat. They are not really "evil". I'm going to rundown a list of vampires that are actually scary and scare the boobs directly off my body.

1. Every single vampire especially the leader guy in 30 Days of Night - the original one, the movie, not the series. These guys speak a creepy language none of us have ever heard. Its barely even human. They are so very inhuman that its scary. They can't even pretend to be human, but they look very much like us and used to be us. They have wicked sharp teeth and their eyes are black. They are like "demonpires". They don't seem to clean up very well either. They are wicked fast and suck blood and don't even wipe their dirty little inhuman mouths. They make weird man-beast noises, too, and its effing creepy. Their fans are not pearly white (kinda black, actually), and they have misshapen heads, too. Fawk are these guys not sparkly!

Look, the leader has the same jacket as David from the Lost Boys!  Do all vampire leaders shop at the same outerwear retailer?

2. Akasha - from Queen of the Damned. She is like the "Eve" of all vampires, the mother of them all. That bizznatch is mofawking evil. She will tear your head off and suck out your eyeballs and you will be fine with it, because she is wicked hot. She hates and will kill all humans as she sees them as truly inferior, ever single one. She doesn't even care if its a newborn baby. Akasha will even kill other vampires for sustenance or if they just get in her way, which is, of course, a definitely unspoken no-no in the vampire code rule book.

3. Lucy & Dracula's Gypsy Servants in the Castle -  from Bram Stoker's Dracula as well as the gypsy servants in the pit.  Eating babies is something every vampire tries to steer clear from as well as really little kids.  Lucy tries to eat a toddler and Dracula's gypsies are served a newborn for dinner before Jonathan Harker's horrified eyes.

I Love the Victorian (Gothic) Horror Genre!

I don't know about you guys, but my favorite horror genre to read and watch has to be Victorian/Gothic Horror, which I classify as horror reading and viewing from the late 1800's and the early 1900's. 

Some of my favorite horror flix, mostly adapted from novels in said era, are set in Victorian England or in North America during the Victorian/Gothic era.  From the popularity of Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula to the popular play Sweeney Todd - Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I have to say, this genre is more realistic and terrifying than any other.  Of course, I have to mention Edgar Allen Poe, the man that got me reading for enjoyment in the fifth grade. Not only did he get me reading, but he got me writing.  Not long after, H.P. Lovecraft got me to love science fiction infused with horror.


The notions and backdrops for these stories come from a time when science was in its infancy and we began to realize that science fiction, which can translate quite well into horror has no limits!


Some of my favorite stories that either come from this genre or are set in this genre are, of course...

1.  Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Dracula (1958) & Dracula (1979)

2.  Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)

3.  Sleepy Hollow (1999) (not really Victorian, but it fits the genre very closely).

4.  From Hell (2001)

5.  The Others (2001)

6.  The Woman in Black (2012)

7.  Masters of Horror (mini movie short) - Poe's The Black Cat (watch it here, free.)

8.  Masters of Horror (mini movie short) - Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch House (watch it here, free.)

(This movie is set in modern times, but is a modern adaptation of a Victorian novel.)

9.  The Turn of the Screw (adapted from Henry James' 1898 Novel) - Its got many versions and I can't seem to locate the best one from the seventies/early eighties online, but it was creepy!

10.  The Wolfman (2010) - Though werewolf movies are not my favorite, this movie was the best adaptation and probably one of the better werewolf movies I have seen in quite some time aside from The Howling franchise, which of course, is not Victorian or Gothic in nature.

2013 New Dracula Series

I am eagerly waiting the new Dracula tv series that stars one of my favorite actors, Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula. If that were so, I'm glad he has centuries to score b*tches, because, I would like to take like this century, he has plenty more, but anyway here is the premise.... 

Dracula arrives in London, England, this time pretending to be or actually being, I guess, an American businessman who wants to bring modern science to Victorian London. Dracula, of course, is out for the blood of those who screwed him over hundreds of years ago, you know the whole story with the beloved wife taking a swan dive off the cliff and all that. 

Of course, Dracula falls totally in love with a gal, who is probably his dead wife, reincarnated, pretty form to the book written by another of my favorite Irishmen, besides my beloved Johnny, Bram Stoker (which by the way are my favorite flavor, I mean kind of guys.  I love Irishmen.). 

 

God, the things I would do to that man. Oh, wait, God doesn't have much to do with that, does he!?  Ok, so it begins on October 25, 2013, just in time for Halloween and will air on Fridays on CBS, whatever channel that is where you live.  The pleasure is all mine!  Yay!

The 8 Most Charismatic Horror Villains

Who do we love to hate the most?  I have compiled a list of some of my favorite horror villains that I might want to hang out with for the day and enjoy their presence and company as long as they promise to not slaughter me.  I'm not innocent so it wouldn't be much fun, anyway.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's my favorite villain of them all?

1.  Hannibal Lecter - He's a classy, intelligent and sarcastic doctor who always has a smart comment and always makes interesting conversation.  He analyzes you and as long as you are polite and you aren't an a-hole, he won't use it against you.  He's your friendly neighborhood psychopath.

2.  Freddy Kreuger - He's a child killer, can kill you in your dreams, and has a horribly burned face, but at least while he is stabbing you with his finger knives, he will have a sarcastic and entertaining comment to send you on your way.

3.  Leprechaun - As long as you don't get in the way of his gold, its all good.  He's little and although his dental hygiene could be better, he takes pride in his Irish heritage and keeps his little tree-house under the ground nice and dank and dreary.  All he really wants is to procreate with a young, beautiful Irish bride so he can have the Leprechaun family he has always wanted.  A simple request, he wants his gold, don't touch his effing gold!

4.  Dracula - He's rich, sophisticated, well-dressed and a hopeless romantic.  He might want to drain you of all your blood and make you walk the Earth for all eternity, a lifeless corpse who needs to suck the blood of the living for sustenance, but if you are his girl, you get to live in a castle and will get showered with love, devotion, and complements.  He's great with animals.  As a matter of fact, he can turn into a wolf or a bat.  Why not a shark?  Why hasn't he thought of that.  He's still awesome!

5.  Lestadt - Lestadt has been a rock star, an independently wealthy traveler, and he just wants to give you the choice he never had.  He's a bit of a snob, but he's got style and always has neatly groomed hair and a super attractive outfit.  I bet he's great in bed.  He might want to drink all your blood and he might be a little pale and have spider veins on his face, but he's got pearly white fangs and bucks in bank!  He's also the co-parent of a lovely little blonde and his platonic life-partner with whom he shares a rocky past, Louie, yup, a real lady killer!

6 & 7.  Chucky & Tiffany - They are like the doll sized Mickey and Mallory, or perhaps Sid and Nancy, well, maybe the two couples spliced.  They love each other, they fight, they break up, they make up.  So what if they are homicidal maniacs and use children to craft the doom of others?  Chucky's will to live is stronger than the grave and Tiffany made a prissy little doll have style!

8. Mason Verger (Hannibal) - You don't like him, because he is a deviant and he would not be a favorite in a local prison, but in the world of fictional horror characters, who else has peeled off their own face and had Hannibal Lecter feed it to their dogs.  Even Hannibal Lecter found him to be a deplorable and disgusting human being.  Hannibal shared a popper with him, but was it really a popper?  Now, he is at the mercy of Dr. Cordel and got fed to the pigs.  Goodbye, Mason.  Goodbye forever.

Sociopath of the Week - Elizabeth Bathory

Elizabeth Bathory - The Blood Countess 

Countess Erzsébet Báthory, "The Blood Countess", was a Hungarian countess born on August 7, 1560.  She died on August 21, 1614.  By today’s standards, she would have been considered a cruel, heartless, sociopath.  The area in Hungary she lived in was what is present day Bratislava.  This area borders present day Hungary, Austria, and the Slovak Republic.  She is often referred to as the "Blood Countess" for the atrocities against young women she committed in her lifetime.  She and her accomplices were accused of torturing and killing a little under a hundred girls and women.  These were the cases that could be proven.  There were almost certainly many others.  She was never tried or punished for her crimes, but she was held in the Cachtice Castle and bricked in a set of rooms until she died for four long years.  Noble people didn’t get the punishment you or I would.


Elizabeth, as we call her in English-speaking countries, was a spoiled child with epilepsy.  She lived in a war torn region, and would have witnessed violence all around her.  As a child, she actually watched a gypsy woman be gutted.  This affected her as an individual.  She had a bisexual aunt and a schizophrenic uncle.  She learned many of her cruel, sadistic behaviors towards women from her mean and nasty aunt.  Elizabeth was said to be bisexual also.  Actually, she was more partial to women, but I can’t see she was kind to the vast majority of them.  She did have a financial advisor she was said to have had a sexual affair with, although she was a married woman.  Her husband, Count Fernencz Nadasdy, was the one who introduced her to sexual sadism, but I am of the opinion that she would have figured it out someday on her own one way or another.  Her marriage was a political one, as most were with the royalty of these times.  It was arranged and happened when she was about twenty-six years old.  People were terrified of Elizabeth, that they might anger her and "walked on eggshells" around the cruel, intelligent, and upstanding woman.  She took much joy in this.  She actually mothered four children, a horrifying thought!  During her husbands absences, going off to war, she kept busy beating servant girls, and carrying on sexual affairs with as many men and woman as tickled her sick fancy.

She was said to have bathed in the blood of virgins, whom she tortured and killed for the purpose of staying youthful.  Clearly she enjoyed torturing and killing, and the blood was just a bonus.  She would find peasant girls and offer them a job in her castle for wages.  When they arrived, she was cruel to them.  It is said she beat one of her servants with a brush until she bled for pulling her hair accidentally while grooming her tresses.  She chose peasant girls, because they would not really be missed, and upon further investigation, who was going to believe their families over a distinguished, wealthy countess?  Although some royalty and upper class were cruel to their servants, she was particularly cruel in a way that would be noticed above and beyond the norm.   In modern times, we would refer to her as "sadomasichistic".  She would actually torture them woman as she and her accomplices performed sexual acts on them before killing them horribly and drinking their blood as her reward.  She also took joy in throwing their bodies drained of their blood out into the woods so they might be eaten by animals and evidence would never be found.  This also alleviated the smell and the aggavation of disposal.

Under Hungarian law it was illegal to try or condemn a citizen of noble birth. Parliament passed an interim law and sentenced her to be sealed alive in bricked off rooms in Castle Cachtice.  She was given food and that was all. They found her lifeless body four years later when she was 54. She never apologized or shows remorse for what she had done. --- Factoidz.com

The Wicker Man & Christopher Lee

Ok, first of all, Christopher Lee is the man! Christopher Lee was one of the Draculas.  He is in many films that are terrifying, and is going to get his dues credited right now.  I love you Mr. Lee!

Christopher Frank Carandini Lee is six foot five.  He's hot in a creepy sort of way and quite English.  Not only is he the best Dracula EVER..., but he was always "the bad guy", and I like it.  I like his deep scary voice (he's not playing), and his ominous, terrifying characters!!!  Its like oh snap, Christopher Lee is here, and some bad shizits will be happening!  

The ever handsome and debonair, Mr. Lee starred in these killer films!

And not to mention, well, yeah, actually I am mentioning it, and talking about it alot in this post, actually.  He is Lord Summersdale in The Wicker Man, a creepy as hell culty film.  You will be creeped out.  

The Wicker Man (1975), not 2006 is a film about a British police officer going to a remote island to investigate the disappearance of a little girl. Pay attention, because there will be a festival going on (for May Day, I gather), and on this little island people do things just a little bit differently here.   

MWAH HA HA HA!

Oh, Mr. Lee was also in Season of the Witch, which I watched and blogged recently.  

His next masterpiece will be Dark Shadows, 

to be released in 2012!!!

YES!!!!!!
