A list that truly sucks: Vampire time again!
With the movie Twilight coming out this week, I'm hard at work coming up with tons of vampire lists for the St. Pete Times. Among my chores: Naming the 5 best movie vampires, 5 worst movie vampires, 5 best TV vampires, 5 best female vampires ... and 5 best vampire hunters.
As usual, I could use your help! Surely the '80s was full of all these categories. But feel free to suggest ones from other decades as well.
Some that come to mind:
KIEFER SUTHERLAND vs. JASON PATRIC (The Lost Boys): Kiefer delivers every line with the world's coolest smirk, and that's fine by me. Does Jason count, though, since he was technically only a half-vampire? Consider either of them for the "best" list.
ROBERT SEAN LEONARD (My Best Friend is a Vampire): Sure he was great in Dead Poet's Society, but in 1988 he was starring in this suck-fest. No pun intended. Put him on the "worst" list.
AL LEWIS (The Munsters): Don't forget that TV's "Grandpa Munster" was a vampire too. Can't have a "best on TV" list without him, can we?
GEORGE HAMILTON (Love at First Bite): "Children of the night ... shut up!" If we had a funniest list, he'd be king, but do you put George on the best or worst list?
JENNIFER BEALS (Vampire's Kiss): Does it really matter if she's a real vampire or a figment of Nic Cage's imagination? With those fangs, we're all a maniac, MANIAC, on the floor. And she's dancing right onto the list of "top lady vamps," unless someone objects.
