Love at first bite

Well Hallowe'en may be weeks away, but Channel 4 has a treat for all you vampire addicts out there. Tonight sees the first episode of the US smash hit series True Blood – about vampires, of course, but these are particularly sexy blood-suckers by all accounts. If you haven't already caught the series on cable, I recommend you tune in tonight at 10pm.
To get you in the mood, here's my top 10 list of my favourite hunk vampires (wouldn't mind letting any of them have a bit of a nibble, would you?)...
1. Johnny Depp (Okay, he hasn't played a vampire yet, but he's rumoured to be doing just that in an upcoming adaptation of Dark Shadows. Bring it on!)
2. Stephen Moyer (True Blood – all brooding and smouldering)
3. Robert Pattinson (Twilight – oh If only I were 10 years younger)
4. Gary Oldman (Dracula - Coppola's 1992 version - be still my beating heart)
5. Brad Pitt (Interview with the Vampire - though Tom Cruise was much scarier)
6. David Boreanaz (Angel/Buffy the Vampire Slayer - who doesn't love Angel?)
7. Wesley Snipes (Blade/Blade II/Blade Triology - seriously fit, but technically only half vamp)
8. Gerard Butler (Dracula 2000 - rubbish movie, nice eye candy though)
9. Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys - the only blonde vampire you wouldn't mind taking a bite)
10. Leslie Nielsen (Dracula: Dead and Loving It - well, you've got to have a laugh too, haven't you?)
