I’m trying to make a list of every vampire from pop culture. Help me come up with examples. So far, the list includes: Count Dracula Graf Orlock (Nosferatu) Carmilla (a.ka. Millarca) Barnabas Collins (Dark Shadows) Angelique (temporarily, she recovered - Dark Shadows) Tom Jennings (Dark Shadows) Dirk Wilkins (Dark Shadows) Megan Todd (Dark Shadows) Prince Mamuwalde (Blackula) Louis du Lac (Interview w/…) Lestat (Interview w/…) Claudia (Interview w/…) Lestat (Interview w/…) the Master (Buffy) Darla (Buffy) Angel / Angelus (Buffy) Anointed One (Buffy) Spike (Buffy) Drusilla (Buffy) Harmony (Buffy) Alucard (RPG character) But I know there must be more. Who else? ---

Don’t forget Count Duckula. And does Sesame Street’s The Count count? edit: Why that’s his role on the show, of course! (sorry, had to do it) ---

Does it have to be a main character? Vic the Vampire (Myth-ing Persons) I guess I only bring it up because I was looking for a vampire book after seeing Lost Boys and somehow I got caught up in this sword-and-sorcery fantasy novel. Oh _Lost Boys_! David, Star, Max, Laddie and the others… ---

Do you want only well-known vampires? I read a lot of vampire fiction, so I could list several, but they probably won’t be known to people who haven’t read those books. \*\*Bosda \*\*just did [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=445026) a like this a couple of weeks ago. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] [List of fictional vampires](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_vampires) [/QUOTE] That list seems terribly, terribly incomplete. From television, I can think of: Nick Knight and Lacroix from [**Forever Knight**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forever_Knight) (and probably a host of others). Half the cast of [**Kindred: The Embraced**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindred_the_embraced). The cast of [**Moonlight**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlight_%28TV_series%29). And who could forget the awesomest movie ever made: [**Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ_Vampire_Hunter), which contains the single greatest line in cinematic history: “Where have all the lesbian vampires gone?” ---

> [@](#): > > Dr. Acula from Scrubs. Forrest J. Ackerman was “Dr. Acula” in the late 1950s/early 1960s, long before Scrubs. But I don’t think he was ever a vampire. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-vampire-round-up/428692.md?page=2)
