Either it’s a sign of the end times or a sign of Twilight’s undying popularity (pun intended) but Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen has been named moviedom’s favorite vampire.
In a survey conducted by ad agency Pearl & Dean, Twilight’s Cullen received 38% of the vote from more than 3,000 movie-going fans. Behind Cullen is Christopher Lee’s classic Dracula and Wesley Snipes’ Blade. Fruity fanged one Lestat, played by Tom Cruise in Interview With the Vampire, was No.4.
Kate Beckinsale’s Selene from the first two Underworld films napped top prize for a female with Salma Hayek’s snake-charming and hip-shaking Santanico Pandermonium (From Dusk Till Dawn) taking second amongst women.
“People love to be scared witless, particularly at this time of year,” said Pearl & Dean CEO Kathryn Jacob. “Edward Cullen being voted firm favorite movie vampire is testament to the fact that people still enjoy a good bloodsucker.”
Sure…”bloodsucker.”

Edward is definitely my favourite vampire so I have no problems with these results.
Yes, I am with you WTF?!? I think it's a shame when little boys can play only one role in their lives and be considered actors. I don't even consider the small part in Harry Potter a true role. He is not even built or good looking enough to be thought of as a true vampire. Robert Pattinson is a passing fad among young women and teenage girls. Actual books written about vampires contain so much more description of what vampires should be and he is definitely not it. It is ashame these young girls can't tell the boys from the real men. Now when Johnny Depp plays Barnabus Collins, in his "Dark Shadows" movie next year with Tim Burton! These young girls will get to see a real man as a vampire. They will realize Pattinson is a boy once they see Johnny Depp!!!!
Oh, forget Johnny Depp! He is just another actor with a bunch of screaming fangirls…
Gary Oldman is the ultimate vampire! He is handsome, seductive, dangerous and extremely hot as Dracula!
