"Two entries from the same film? You cheated!" Well, not really. Eben Oleson's reason for being on this list is entirely different to those explained before with Marlow. 30 Days Of Night does a great job with subtly telling us that it's not what we are that makes us a monster, but who. Towards the end of the film, Eben injects himself with the blood of a deceased vampire, hoping it'll make him become a creature of the night just like those buggers that have destroyed his town. His plan succeeds, and no sooner does Eben become a vampire does he walk straight out into the burning town to punch a hole through Marlow's head. With the vampire horde now lost without their leader, they scatter, leaving only a handful of survivors with nowhere to live. Eben dies shortly thereafter by exposing himself to the rising sun, not wanting to hurt the people he cares about by killing them for sustenance. His choice to die not only reinforces the fact that Marlow and his cronies were killers by choice, but also that becoming a vampire didn't automatically make you a crazed lunatic.
