Suckiest vampires ever 2
The 13 suckiest vampires of all time
By Michael O'Connell, Special to Metromix
Vampires clearly aren’t just for that menacingly pale girl you see on the train reading the "Twilight" series and thinking impure thoughts about its underage characters. They’re alluring enough to spawn countless films, TV series and oddly branded foodstuffs. And this month TV vet Alan Ball (creator of “Six Feet Under”) tries to give the increasingly predictable genre a booster shot with HBO’s “True Blood.”
Since the vamps of “True Blood” seem more preoccupied with hanky panky and channeling the ‘90s with pleather than sucking neck or dramatically declining offerings of garlic bread, there’s a little worry that they may be lame ducks. From the annoying to the self-loathing, the non-scary to the plain ridiculous, plenty of vampires just... suck. So while we hope the undead of “True Blood” are more like “Buffy” the series than “Buffy” the movie, here’s a look back at some of the all-time suckiest vampires so we might all prepare for the worst.
