Rank 9: Dracula & Nosferatu
Not much needs to be said about the great vampire lord. Dracula shares this rank with Nosferatu, which is essentially the German counterpart. Nosferatu exists only because the filmmakers around director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922 did not have the rights to the name Dracula. The actual story is very similar and has undergone further remakes, most recently last year.
Both vampires are, at first glance, noble and elegant, but they are driven by an insatiable thirst for blood. To reach their object of desire (usually a woman), they cross the ocean.
Their victims are bitten with sharp teeth, which usually leads to transformation into a vampire. These fellows have nothing to do with the sparkling vampires from the Twilight franchise. They are iconic yet eerie, lurking in the shadows to approach their victims. Turn around once…
