Ten Movie Vampires that Sucked!!!
The recent buzz about Twilight has seen Vampires rise back to prominence in popular culture. Every couple of years something like this happens with the release of another marketing departments wet dream franchise weve had wizards, pirates, hobbits and now: vampires. The pasty bloodsuckers are everywhere at the moment - theyre almost as popular as twitter.
So grab your stake, garlic, silver, cross, holy water and whatever other clichéd vampire-battling paraphernalia you can find because youre about to face the worst of the worst: Ten Movie Vampires that Well and Truly Sucked10. Louis de Pointe du Lac
Played by Brad Pitt From Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) A controversial choice no doubt given some of the lamentable movie Vampires that have escaped this list (Im looking at you Queen of the Damned); but Brad Pitts Louis from Interview with the Vampire is deserving of his spot on this list, in my warped mind at least. You see, I blame this film for kicking off the whole pensive, sexy Vampire with a conscience trend that has plagued modern vampire films for the last decade and a half. I'm willing to concede that out of all the 'monsters' in horror folklore that the vampire has always been the 'sexiest' but modern vampire movies have gone too far with this vampire as an international playboy theme we already have an immortal, thousand year old playboy roaming the earth thank you very much, his names Hugh Hefner. Interview with the Vampire was the watershed for the new breed of moody, conflicted vampires weve seen flood or screens and paved the way for the likes of Twilight and its this legacy, along with Pitt pouting his way across screen for two hours, which leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
