Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the best combo.

Ingrid Pitt was very sexy, I met her once a few years ago.
Mary and Madeleine Collinson, Yum.

I believe Billy the Kid vs Dracula was one such movie

Re Grandpa Munster,apparently the character was based on a send-up of Bela Lugosi by the comedian Lenny Bruce.Bruce portrayed Lugosi as an ageing hen-pecked jewish man,who was a drug addict(as Lugosi sadly became).When they made the tv series they left the drugs out but Al Lewis' Grandpa is clearly still jewish, i don't know if Lugosi was.

He was also pretty good in the atmospheric Vampires in Venice.

Well, as a Buffy and Angel fan, I'd quite happily have Spike at number one.

Although, Count Duckula would be a close call for beating him ...

Hmmm, at the end of the day, it is an age thing.

How about Count Chocula?

I suppose my avatar speaks for my favorite vampire, eh?

But, I noticed nobody has mentioned Jamie Gillis yet. He played the Count twice.

Lust at First Bite (1978)
Dracula Exotica (1980)

Give the list voters at least some credit: Catherine Deneuve as Miriam Blaylock, the vampire seducer of Susan Sarandon's Dr Sarah Roberts in the 1983 cult classic The Hunger, makes no 28 on the list, though IMHO she ought to be somewhat higher up than that. I well remember the cold elegance and beauty of Catherine's performance. Even today, the seduction scene between Ms Deneuve and Ms Sarandon is one of the most erotic things I have ever seen in a film: much sexier and more powerful than 98% of dedicated pornography. The two have great chemistry and great class

Eroticism and the vampire myth certainly went hand in hand by the time Bram Stoker wrote his classic novel Dracula. In many ways the vampire is symbolic of the darker side of human sexuality. If you are being literal minded, the vampire taint, passing from bloodstream to bloodstream, is a metaphor for the transmission of deadly sexual diseases such as syphilis: this point is very explicit in Francis Ford Coppola's film Dracula, in which Gary Oldman sports the funny teeth. Certainly poor Dr Roberts doesn't get to write it off as a harmless little afternoon frolic with a gorgeous blond. But for me the meaning isn't so crude: the seduction by the vampire isn't to transmit disease, but to enact the ultimate betrayal of destroying the human being's immortal soul. Much nastier.

No mention of Jack Palence as Dracula in the tv adaption based on the novel. Scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
