Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

I'm surprised they thought to put Klaus Kinski in there.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

of course TRUE BLOOD would rank higher than any of the established classics.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Sissy-boy from Twilight anywhere near the top 10= FAIL.

I don't know if they pick Lestat from the books or the movie (although I actually think Cruise was really very good as the movie version), but decent call, although considering how hugely influential he was, not having Lugosi at the top is rather a slap in the face. Without Bela, you got nobody.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

EW has a MAJOR hard-on for anything Twilight. They almost always have some sort of news about that franchise.

Gary Oldman is only at #10?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Also i was kind of disapointed that Spike didn't make the list period.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

No Udo Kier? EW missed the boat.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Caleb and Mae from "Near Dark" but no Jesse Hooker? FAIL!

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

No kidding. Hell, any of the vampires from the Buffyverse like Darla, Drusilla, Spike, and Angel are superior to a bunch of the ones on this list.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

i actually think this is more a fail then anything

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Max Schreck would disagree.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Lee should be #1, no question.

Also, no Jerry Dandridge? Miserable fail.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Edward over Angel? Add that to my list of reasons I dont read or put any stock in EW.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Its getting rather annoying all the love EW shows Twilight but IM sure it sells magazine quite well them doing so I guess I cant blame em from a business viewpoint.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

lol @ these

Where's Frank Langella?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Despite what you may think, Nixon was not a vampire.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

This list is an outrage! No John Amplas? No Jay Robinson?? Not to mention George Hamilton???!

Really, though, couldn't they find a spot for Max Schreck? I mean, he was even played by Willem Dafoe, which has to count for something :lol:

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Bullshit list without Jerry Dandridge somewhere near the top.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Is this still the only Oscar-nominated performance as a vampire to date, as well?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

In my list :

1. Max Schreck..........Graf Orlok
2. Bela Lugosi............The Count

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

What? No Barnabas Collins?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

same here...

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Damn straight!

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Severen also from Near Dark should been on the list.

"Fingers licking good"

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

+2 To you sir



And seriously where the hell is Spike?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Before I opened the thread, I figured this was EW taking the opportunity to pimp Twilight.

No Blacula? No sale!

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

This list sucks blood.

No mention of everyone's favorite childhood count?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

That should be a top 5.
And how about the vampire from THE NIGHT STALKER.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

how is Max Schrek not on this list?

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Good god, I hadn't noticed Schrek wasn't on the list before. That's blasphemy right there! (Although I still argue Lugosi was more influential on the general vampire archetype as we know it, "I vant to drink your blood" and all that lot; but "Nosferatu" stlll remains one hell of a visual.)

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Jamie Farr?



I'm surprised EW ranked the Twilight kid so low considering how much they suck up to that franchise.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this link between Twilight and EW. I actually didn't renew my subscription for that very reason (go figure, my last issue had Twilight on the cover). I did a big cleaning last week and was going through back issues, when I came across a July 2008 issue with Twilight on the cover. I decided to see how many other covers and mentions is has received since July 2008.
Full Cover - 4
Small Pics on Cover - 4
Mentions in Text Only - 6

That's 14 fucking references to Twilight on their covers in a one year span. This is over 1 fucking movie that has been out less than a year! I can't imagine how many times it's been mentioned inside the magazine. For instance, in this issue they have a Muse single on their Must List. Muse is a great band and deserves to be on that list, but check out their notes under the pick "Twilight author Stephanie Meyer endorsed these epic Brits, and her fans will love their new single: The song evokes Edward spending a dark, stormy night playing Queen covers on the living room piano."
What the fuck does Twilght have to do with Muse?!!

End rant.

p.s. I want to marry Twilight (translation: Twilight makes me want to drown kittens)

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

No George Hamilton? Fuck that list.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Not to mention it's a terrible movie with a terrible script and terrible acting. Did I mention it was terrible.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

I too am sick at all this twilight shit i see everywhere. But one has to remember that it isnt just one movie. It is also the four best selling books, and the sequel coming out in november, and the sequel to that coming out next year.

The same shit happened with the Harry Potter series when it was at this stage of production.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Actually The Count was in the sidebar :lol:

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

Well... see that's just about the worst list of its kind ever assembled.

So it sucks and all.

Including, but not limited to, the whole Schrek thing amongst others.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

I did not renew this year after being a subscriber since year one.
To me EW has turned into what you posted.
On one of their lists about all-time t.v. icons they had John Stewert on the list but not Bill O'Reilly. Even though Bill beats him in the ratings.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

it's just seriously mind blowing- the top 3 people I think of when I think of Dracula are Lugosi, Schreck, and Lee.

Re: Entertainment Weekly's Top 20 Vampires of all time
 

well to make some of you happy, they also did a 'sexiest vampires' list and Eric from True Blood did beat out Edward (and Eric was no 1). The magazine also has interviews with the 2 authors of those books
