Shame the remake was such a steaming pile of garbage.
Amanda Bearse also known as 'D'arcy' from Married with Children was sexy as hell in Fright Night.
Out of your list I'd go with Lestat, much like the author I didn't think Cruise had it in him but he was awesome in that movie.
I think Thomas Ian Griffith's Valek in Vampires is underrated
All time...Lugosi, people still mimic him when doing a Dracula impression
I guess if I was losing Nicole kidman, and downgrading to katy holmes I'd be a lil crazy too.
Upgrade IMO, he also burgled Sofia Vergara & Penelope Cruz in between there I think
Recently saw Tobe Hooper's adaptation of Salem's Lot for the first time and no vampire has made me shit my pants quite like Mr. Barlow. I know he's not nearly as monstrous in the book but I don't care, he was creepy as all hell.
GOAT Vampire
Gary Oldman could lay claim to greatest villain, period, for that role. I don't necessarily agree that he doesn't get his due for his acting in general, because a lot of folks, especially around here, drink his Kool-aid. But for that specific role, I don't believe he gets enough credit, nor does that movie in general.
Possibly the GOAT vampire movie.
