I give you [Deafula](http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Deafula.aspx)

From the link: “all you really need to know about this movie is that it’s called Deafula, it’s about a deaf vampire, it’s performed entirely in sign language, and yes, it really exists.”

“Joshua York” and “Damon Julian” from George R. R. Martin’s “Fevre Dream”.

> Fevre Dream is a 1982 vampire novel written by American author George R. R. Martin. It is set on the antebellum Mississippi River, beginning in 1857, and has been described by critics and Martin himself as "Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain". About writing the novel, Martin said that "It was strongly influenced by the time I spent in Dubuque, Iowa, where river steamboats were once built".
> The novel was first published in the U.S. by Poseidon Press in 1982. It was later published as a mass market pape...

I highly recommend it.

To England, of course. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072354/](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072354/)

The lesbian vampires in that movie were named Fran and Miriam.

[QUOTE=Eleanor of Aquitaine]  
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.

There’s the vampire **Saint Germain** from the novels by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.

[/QUOTE]

And all his girlfriends–Olivia, Csimenae, Ranegonde (sp?), Madelaine, and I’m sure there are others but I can’t remember who got vamped and who didn’t–Rowena, the Chinese chick, a German girl… Whole raft of them, most of whom didn’t survive real long.

Jan & Luke Valentine  
Leif & Jessica (it scares me that I knew their names w/o looking it up)  
Incognito  
Baobhan Sidhe  
(various other unimportant characters from the first anime)  
Lt. Rip Van Winkle  
Tubalcain Alhambra aka The Dandy  
(other members of Millennium. I’m not sure which ones are actually vampires)  
Did somebody mention D from Vampire Hunter D? Or does he not count, since he’s only half?

Storm of the X-men was a vampire for a while.  
Bloodstorm (?) an alternate universe version of Storm  
Morbius the Living Vampire  
Blade (sorta)  
Batman in a few elseworlds / alternate earths  
Does anyone else think Dr. Acula is an even lazier pseudonym than Alucard?
