Sexy bloodsuckers

Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Michael Welch, and Twilight co.
"Last week at Comic-Con, the big story wasn't comic books—it was vampires. Some 2,000 young women set up a tent city outside the San Diego Convention Center on Tuesday, sleeping rough so that they could attend the Thursday panel on New Moon, the upcoming sequel to vampire blockbuster Twilight. It's just another sign of the massive popularity of vampires. The original Dracula in Dracula loved to drink blood. He has "white sharp teeth, behind the full lips of the blood-dripping mouth." He forces Mina Harker to his bosom, where "[h]er white nightdress was smeared with blood, and a thin stream trickled down [his] bare chest," and he compels her to drink his blood, like a "child forcing a kitten's nose into a saucer of milk. ..." This bodily fluid fetishism was par for the course for the next 79 years, until Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire, when Ms. Rice started to tweak up the Gothness. In her books, vampires were better known for being immortal than for sucking blood, which makes their fascination with humans even more mysterious: After living among us for hundreds of years, haven't they heard all of our jokes by now?"

RACHELLE LEFEVRE Victoria in Twilight (2008)
Maybe revenge is a dish best served hot. Victoria may be plotting against Bella and Edward (Edward killed her partner in vamp crime), but Lefevre makes villainhood seem pretty darn appealing. Too bad she's been replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard for the third Twi-flick, Eclipse.
ELISABETH REASER Esme in Twilight (2008)
We have a soft spot for hot moms, and Esme Cullen is way at the top of the list — sure, she's physically frozen in the body of a 26-year-old, which helps, but she's also devoted and thoughtful, and Reaser's easy warmth comes through despite the ostensible icy pallor.

"While Pattinson was off having a maybe-fling with his other co-star, Emille de Ravin, Stewart decided to get back together with her ex boyfriend, dashing Pattinson’s hope of a reunion. At least, according to the National Enquirer. I’m hoping that behind the scenes these two are quietly still together and will eventually get married and have supernatural babies.

According to Star Magazine, there might been an even more sinister twist to the Pattinson/Stewart love pentagon.
Kirsten Dunst is said to be trying to get her skinny thrift store claws on Edward, I mean Robert!
After all, Kirsten had her own taste of bloodsucking notoriety in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire!

TOM CRUISE
Lestat de Lioncourt in Interview with the Vampire (1994)
If we ever had an occasion to publish the sentence ''Tom Cruise is endlessly sexy in this movie,'' this would be it. Lestat is a proper vampire who actually drinks human blood. Edward Cullen, take note".
