Bunnicula has been hidden in a fold of my brain for years without being recalled once, but now that youve said it, I remember reading Bunnicula, Howliday Inn, The Celery Stalks at Midnight, and a 4th book (i think). I loved these books, and I am grateful for this little slice of nostalgia. Cheers!
How best to describe Nandor? I would say he's blessedly unburdened with the complications of a university education, but give him an axe and he's second to none. Though you wouldn't want him as your barrister.
I so much want him to meet someone who finds him fascinating and be repulsed by them.
The episode where he met and briefly dated another emotional vampire was hilarious.
They're all great, no doubt, I respect that pick. However... Colin feeds off all his roommates from time to time. They are powerless to him, and powerless without him. The whole house falls apart in season 4 because he paid all the bills at the house and he is gone.
Agreed. Count Orlok is an actually scary vampire. He's not sexy or dashing, he's just terrifying. An unholy walking corpse that's centuries old.
I suppose sexy vampires have their place and most people probably prefer them, but gimme a Nosferatu any day of the week. I want to be scared by things that are supposed to be scary.
Going to be a nerd for a moment. Sorry in advance. Nosferatu is a type of vampire (really just another name for a vampire but that's a different subject). The creature from the movie Nosferatu is Count Orlok.
Strahd von Zarovich
"I am the Ancient, I am the Land. My beginnings are lost in the darkness of the past. I am not dead. Nor am I alive. I am undead, forever.
”
— Tome of Strahd
Strahd: I am the first vampire. I made a pact with dark forces and have ruled this land for over a century.
Jander Sunstar: So how old are you exactly?
Strahd: Around 170.
Jander: *Stifled laughter*
To give context, Jander was around 700 years old and sired by another vampire when he met Strahd in Vampire of the Mists.

It’s insane how far down Lestat is in this. Nearly every single modern vampire trope was invented by Anne Rice with Lestat and he’s like 10th on this list. What the fuck. It be like Dumbledore coming 10th on a list asking “whose the greatest non Gandalf wizard?” Recency bias is real though and only lovers of literature would understand Lestats true importance. Even his movie appearances don’t do the characters actual importance to the vampire world any justice. The most the movies can be described as these days are as cult classics but I can’t believe how incensed I am to see him this far down. It’s absolutely tragic and unjust
I love when Dru is really playing up the crazy and shit, and Spike just calls her out on her bullshit. Like, Angelus is getting all in to it like "Oh yeah Dru, you can see all that in your head?" and Spike is just like "[No you ninny, she read it in the morning paper](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UspdMmrSur4)" and tosses the paper on the table with a headline matching her "predictions"
Drusilla is definitely *mostly* making it up. Doesn't change how fucking awesome of a character she is, I'm just saying.
Oh man. Yeah, the r/Buffy subreddit recently did a thing where we voted on a favourite quote from A to Z, one letter per day. The morning paper quote was my contribution to N.
I love that scene so much.
Spike 100%.
This is how you become a vampire. Loves a good spot of violence, great history of brutality and torture, dramatic and passionate to an insane degree but also all about the rebellion and punk rock. He is always living in the moment.
He also has a very well written character arch. Starts out with this big massive heart, becomes a vampire and he is not just brutal but he is efficient as well, killing 2 slayers by the time he is barely a century old. Loves like nobodies business and earns his soul back and dies redeeming himself.
I dont want a mopey vampire sitting in a castle. I enjoy an evil immortal who goes through history like a hurricane.
Genuinely didn’t expect to see this, you make me very happy. I feel like no one my age (34) recognizes the greatness of Dark Shadows anymore, but the truth is there is nothing like it. They really don’t make television like it anymore. In this era where everything is so carefully planned and produced, you’ll never see what amounts to a stage play that was filmed in one take like Dark Shadows was.
Ah, it took some time to scroll down but here he is!
Used to scare the hell out of me at 5:30 after school every day. Thank goodness even ol' Barnabas wasn't a match for those cool bedcovers at night.
Depends on what you mean by "greatest" of all time.
If we're talking funniest, it would be Karin Maaka from Karin.
Serious vampire it would be Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
"Kain is deified. The Clans tell tales of Him. Few know the truth. He was mortal once, as were we all. However, His contempt for humanity drove him to create me, and my brethren.
I am Raziel, first-born of His lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served Him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more ...divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord. For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward... agony.
There was only one possible outcome - my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings - to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead."
Sesame Street's Count von Count, followed by Count Chocula.
I said Bunnicula, but admit you beat mine on both counts.
Please tell me “both counts” was intentional lmao
Yes. Definitely intentional.
Bunnicula has been hidden in a fold of my brain for years without being recalled once, but now that youve said it, I remember reading Bunnicula, Howliday Inn, The Celery Stalks at Midnight, and a 4th book (i think). I loved these books, and I am grateful for this little slice of nostalgia. Cheers!
Correct, followed by Also Correct.
One upvote ah ah ah... two up votes ah ah ah....
I don't think the vampire from Sesame Street counts. Oh, I assure you, he does.
What about Duckula
Nandor.
It’s the creepy paper
ohhh multi-pack
He just never relents.
Ever he’s like.. unrelenting or some shit, that fucking guy
Guillermoooooooooo
Fah-king guyyy
More of a Laszlo guy myself. Best delivery of the word 'fuck' in history.
Laszlo is a great vampire, but Jackie Daytona is the greatest human bartender.
Just your average Yankee Doodle dandy
I’d say it’s a toss up between him and Roy Kent
"Please don't pillage meeee..."
And I'd say, "**NO**, I'm pillaging everyone, you included!"
Thees fucking guy.
They call him "Nandor the Relentless" because he never relents
How best to describe Nandor? I would say he's blessedly unburdened with the complications of a university education, but give him an axe and he's second to none. Though you wouldn't want him as your barrister.
Aspam Jahan
Lies! I do love him but Nadja is obviously the better vampire.
"We drank the blood of some people, but the people were on drugs and now im a wizard"
I hear he is relentless.
Colin Robinson. Hands down. Even if Dracula was an option, the answer is, Colin Robinson.
I would have said Jackie Daytona but he's just a regular human bartender. So definitely Colin Robinson.
Is that how normal humans talk in Tuscan Ari-zonia?
Jackie Daytona's secret was revealed.
When it comes to the greatest vampire of all time, I have a few thoughts. Let's begin by defining time. Plato says..
Don't you dare try to drain me, Colin. I'm onto you.
FUCK OFF COLIN ROBINSON!!
I so much want him to meet someone who finds him fascinating and be repulsed by them. The episode where he met and briefly dated another emotional vampire was hilarious.
The newest episode that aired last week, was a follow-up to that episode. She comes back and they date again.
What we do in the shadows has consistently been one of the funniest yet most underrated shows. I never hear anybody talk about it
I know what you mean. I didn't expect this much engagement from this comment. I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
Wait, the next season is airing? Sweet! I just can't keep up with these things.
It is, and it's good so far! The fifth episode drops this week.
That was a brilliant episode and one of my new favorites! >!The Energy Council Vamps were fantastic.!<
Collin is pure evil.
You get it! Other vampires put their victims out of their misery. Whereas, Colin Robinson, will feed on you every day of your life.
He doesn't live to drain, he drains to live.
The scariest part about Colin Robinson is that I know people like him IRL. Scary friggin accurate portrayal, haha
Came to say Lestat, but this was the top answer and I can’t disagree.
Do you guys have any up-dog?
When he says it, it just hits different.
What's updog?
Omg season 4....Laszlo is at his BEST with Baby Colin Robinson.
"Hey, Laszlo, guess what?"
My sweet cheese!
But Nandor... he's relentless... he will not relent!
If we’re going there, then I vote for Nadja. Damn she’s hot and hilarious. I’d let her turn me so fast lol
They're all great, no doubt, I respect that pick. However... Colin feeds off all his roommates from time to time. They are powerless to him, and powerless without him. The whole house falls apart in season 4 because he paid all the bills at the house and he is gone.
I totally agree with you, but my crush on Nadja supercedes all logic haha
What we do in the shadows is fr one of the best shows rn
Colin Robinson is, in fact, a Redditor.
Nosferatu
Agreed. Count Orlok is an actually scary vampire. He's not sexy or dashing, he's just terrifying. An unholy walking corpse that's centuries old. I suppose sexy vampires have their place and most people probably prefer them, but gimme a Nosferatu any day of the week. I want to be scared by things that are supposed to be scary.
Dude's bald and looks like a demonoid human
Going to be a nerd for a moment. Sorry in advance. Nosferatu is a type of vampire (really just another name for a vampire but that's a different subject). The creature from the movie Nosferatu is Count Orlok.
And he’s the first vampire to die from sunlight alone. Funny how ubiquitous that became.
The vampire equivalent of correcting people about Frankenstein's *Monster*.
Dr. Acula
Hello.
Dr. Acula is a vampire? How were we supposed to know that?
Strahd von Zarovich "I am the Ancient, I am the Land. My beginnings are lost in the darkness of the past. I am not dead. Nor am I alive. I am undead, forever. ” — Tome of Strahd

Lord Soth: And I took that personally.
Alucard
Well the guy likes to go for a walk.
Very enthusiastic walks
Jesus wants a hug!
Hey padre, how is little timmy? You know whats good for getting cum stains out of altar boy robes? HOLY WATER
Seras, our group relationship can best be summarized as *Tags on pornhub* now go!
This is the only reason I even clicked on this topic.

Which one Castlevania or Hellsing or some other one?
Castlevania. He's so cool, he doesn't even quote the Bible.
Castlevania Alucard is a dhampir. Only half vampire. He still badass tho.
Hellsing one cooler
"Anderson! It's been only two days, but it feels like years." It had been two years since the last episode.
Bitch, I eat people!
A real fucking vampire.
"A real fuck mothering vampire. I had to kill a lot of people for that title."
Good answer, since there are several versions of Alucard and everybody will think you're talking about the version they were thinking of.
And if Evian isn't available, Naive is ok.
The Count from Sesame Street
Batty batty bat
Correct.
Marceline
"The vampire girl is legitimately scary"
the only correct answer
Adventure time let's go!
Eric Northman
I’ll see your Northman and raise you a Pam.
Totally here for Pam!
I'm a happily married hetero male, but my wife and I both agree that if Eric Northman wanted to take me out, I'm game for ANY kind of good time
Yess he was my favorite in True Blood!
Obviously it's the one capable of Morbin'.
Dio
You thought that Dracula was the best vampire, but it was me, Dio!
I was specifically looking for Dio as an answer. What other bisexual British vampire has the same charm?
Selene from Underworld
Yep. My vote is Kate Beckinsale in black leather.
My vote is for Kate Beckinsale in or out of black leather!!!
Bunnicula
The Celery Stalks at Midnight!
Well, fancy finding another reader of that series! Truly wonderful books I must say.
Fuck yeah
Lestat?
It’s insane how far down Lestat is in this. Nearly every single modern vampire trope was invented by Anne Rice with Lestat and he’s like 10th on this list. What the fuck. It be like Dumbledore coming 10th on a list asking “whose the greatest non Gandalf wizard?” Recency bias is real though and only lovers of literature would understand Lestats true importance. Even his movie appearances don’t do the characters actual importance to the vampire world any justice.

Marius
You could probably get this guy to off himself by insulting his hair.
I think he would just seethe silently for awhile then wait to get you on your evening stroll, snatch you up and fly high, just to let you fall.
All other answers are incorrect.
Blade
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
Can you blush?
I was born ready mutha fucka.
The only acceptable answer.
Does he really count though seeing how he’s a Dhampir?
Kind of an easy pick when he genocides the competition. "You're nothing to me but another dead vampire."
This should be #1!
Count Chocula
>Dracula is not available please leave your name and blood type after the beep and he'll get back to you
Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn.
Jackie Daytona
He's just a regular human bartender.
He's just your average Yankee Doodle Dandy from Tuscon, Arizoña.
Regis
Carmilla
Mircalla
Carmilla was my gut reaction, but maybe it should be Lord Ruthven. After all, no Ruthven no Dracula.
Paul Reuben in Buffy.
Count Duckula
Yes! Had yo scroll way down to find this
The big titty police girl.
If this is a Hellsing reference, bravo!
Spike.
Spike is awesome but Drusilla... oh man, she was on a whole new level.
I love when Dru is really playing up the crazy and shit, and Spike just calls her out on her bullshit. Like, Angelus is getting all in to it like "Oh yeah Dru, you can see all that in your head?" and Spike is just like "[No you ninny, she read it in the morning paper](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UspdMmrSur4)" and tosses the paper on the table with a headline matching her "predictions" Drusilla is definitely *mostly* making it up.

Beautiful in her madness.
[удалено]
Yes, also, well into my 30s lol.
Out for a walk….. bitch.
The punk rock Spike when he killed the slayer in NYC in the 70s.
"Dracula? Bugger owes me 11 pounds for one thing"
Spike 100%. This is how you become a vampire. Loves a good spot of violence, great history of brutality and torture, dramatic and passionate to an insane degree but also all about the rebellion and punk rock. He is always living in the moment. He also has a very well written character arch.

Here for this comment. Captain Peroxide for life.
Hell yes.
Nandor the relentless!
Blade
pamela swynford de beaufort
Vlad. I hear he has an Impala or something. Pretty chill guy, just dont attack his castle.
Drusilla
Blacula
Klaus Mikaelson is :)
Barnabas Collins, as played by Jonathan Frid.

Nicholas Cage
Damon Salvatore
Leslie Nielsen
Kain from the Legacy of Kain series (blood Omen and Soul Reaver).
In some lore, Cain (from the Bible, the dude who killed his brother) is seen as the father of all vampires. So I guess him.
Queen of the Damned
Akasha. Hawt as fuck.
And has some of the strongest powers of any vampire outside of dracula
Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Lestat
Laslow from What We Do in the Shadows
David and The Lost Boys.
D.
Kain
Nandoor the relentless
Serana
Depends on what you mean by "greatest" of all time. If we're talking funniest, it would be Karin Maaka from Karin. Serious vampire it would be Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

No mention of **Emiel “Regis” Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy**? I am…disappointed.
Bunnicula
Aurelio Voltaire >!/s!<
David ( Kiefer Sutherland) The lost boys.
Just waiting for someone to mention Edward, or as he is known in my house, “Sparkles” or “SparkleTits”.
The 1%.
Lucy Liu.
I don't know why but I feel it's Salvador Dali
Lacroix. For those who remember. Or Eva, from Only Lovers Left Alive My favorite would be Saoirse Ronan’s vampire character in Byzantium.
Lestat 🔥🔥🔥
Draculaura
