Vampires in pop culture

Silver-Screen Vampires
Hollywood has always been fascinated with vampires; from the early days of the industry with such classics as Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi's portrayal of the Undead Romanian Count right up to the present day and works such as Dracula 2000, Interview with the Vampire and the (tragically underrated) Queen of the Damned, these beings are constantly recurring film stars. The most notable portrayal of him would have to be Christopher Lee

The Dracula Myth

Christopher Lee : Dracula and I (1973)
This is an article at Vampgirl.com (I love this gal's site :)). Enjoy.

And lately the much maligned but actually quite good rendition of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned
starring

Stuart Towsend, as Lestat de Lioncourt

And of course that giant of Pop Culture, Tom Cruise took his turn as Lestat de Lioncourt, and Brad Pitt took his as Louis... Or the creme de la creme Dracula portrayal by the inimitable Bela Lugosi.

They've all put some sort of stamp on the face of the vampire, and probably will continue to do so, for better or for worse! Some will no doubt fall flat on their faces (like USA/SF Channel's Dracula, Prince of Darkness--for all that they tried, bless their dark hearts. ;)) Nonetheless, it seems always interesting to see what will come next...

more to come...
