Including Louis Jordan's character if he'd most definitely be a pick,
who are currently your 3 favorite film vampire characters and please
say WHY (for either the character, for the actor, or both) for anyone named.
1. Count Yorga
Dapper dresser with impeccable manners. Sharp, condescending wit. Master of the surprise attack. Fails to honour charitable donation to orphanage. Minus for falling in love.
2. Emily (Let's Scare Jessica To Death.)
Sassy and kinky female vamp who outlasts the boys on the block. Clever hippy disguise. Enjoys toying with people. Also cruel to animals. Top draw Succubus.
3. Janos Skorzeny (Night Stalker)
Absolute no-nonsense vampire. Disrespectful to hospital staff. Master of identity fraud. Impeccable digs (including blood bank.) Nice snarl. Minus point for not getting out of town when the heat's on.
MENTIONED IN DISPATCHES: Jerry Dandridge (Fright Night.) Cheesy, dumb eighties vampire who leaves curtains open. But kudos for knowing how to Disco-dance and provide some traditional thrills and spills.
(What about Marnau's Nosferatu, I hear you ask? Sorry, but competion is fierce amongst the undead.)
