10 Best Female Vampires In Horror Movies
3. Santanico Pandemonium - From Dusk Till Dawn
This character is a testament to the fact that it doesn't matter how much screen time you get, so long as you make something of it.
From Dusk Till Dawn has a boatload of memorable moments thanks to its wild cast, featuring hot names like George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis and Quentin Tarantino. Still, Selma Hayek's Santanico Pandemonium utterly stole the show, despite her limited time on screen.
This iconic vamp was the queen of the Titty Twister and an exotic dancer. She was introduced into the film by fulfilling the latter of those positions and delivering a steamy dance that became instantly iconic - not half because it was a significant chapter in Quentin Tarantino's ongoing cinematic foot fetish.
Overall, Santanico was seductive, magnetic and utterly cold, luring all the male characters in before threatening them with the harsh reality of being a vampire slave. Alluring, scary and cunning - all the best traits of a vampire.
The character also had a great run in the TV adaptation, played strongly by Eiza Gonzalez. No matter where you go, you'll find that this vampire queen doesn't quit!
