Good Vs Bad Vamps

In The Twilight Saga, Robert Pattinson plays good-guy vegetarian vamp Edward Cullen. But isn’t a tortured soul a bit boring? Don’t we like our vampires bad? Laura Chubb looks at top on-screen bloodsuckers.
The Twilight Saga
Good: Edward Cullen
R-Patz mopes about the Twilight series with a face liked a smacked bottom. A very pretty smacked bottom it may be, but can’t the guy crack a smile?

Bad: Aro, leader of the Volturi
A deliciously devilish Michael Sheen hams it up and has fun as the figurehead of a ruthless Italian vampire coven.

Interview With The Vampire
Good: Louis de Pointe du Lac
The fun ends at the name as Brad Pitt’s gloomy bloodsucker whines all night long into Christian Slater’s dictaphone.

Bad: Lestat de Lioncourt
We hate to say it, but Tom Cruise is actually pretty cool as this callous creature of the night, who delights in tormenting his protégé.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Good: Angel
The vampire with a soul is referred to by subsequent Buffy-suitor Riley as ‘Mr Billowy Coat, King of Pain.’ David Boreanaz has a visibly better time playing Angel’s soulless alter-ego Angelus.

Bad: Spike
‘I’m a bad, rude man,’ the Billy Idol-esque fanged fiend tells his deranged undead beau Drusilla. That’s exactly why we like him.

Verdict
Bad beats good in every round. Enough said.
