Of all the notable vampires in the history of modern film media, I think the creepiest is that of Count   Orlok, depicted in the 1922 German movie Nosferatu. This movie was based on the Dracula novel by Bram Stoker, but since the film company did not secure the rights to produce Dracula, they went forward with an adaptation, changing the names of the characters. Count Dracula is thus changed to Count Orlok etc.

Count Orlok played by German actor Max Schreck, is truly and amazingly creepy (see photo). Adding a further dimension of creepiness, is the fact that this movie is a silent film, with very sinister music used as to complement. The masterful slinking and creeping around  of Count Orlok is enough to send chills up your spine!

To costume oneself as Count Orlok for Halloween, would definitely take some work, but could be well worth it in the long run.  A lot of facial make-up or perhaps a “Yoda” mask would work, you be the judge.

Dracula

First  up is the infamous Count Dracula, created by Bram Stoker in his novel “Dracula.” The Count is extremely intelligent, seductive and evil. He is usually pictured as a Victorian gentleman, in black suit and cape. The Count is a Gothic and mysterious creature to be sure, who targets beautiful women to join him in his blood lust. Picture Bela Lugosi from the early vampire films. Check-out discount vampire costumes here.

The next famous media vampire is Barnabas Collins, from the 1960s soap opera series “Dark Shadows.” This is a sinister brooding and secretive vampire who operates covertly in a Gothic black and white television world. Set in 1967 in the fictional town of Collinsport Maine, Collins (a vampire since 1790) is accidentally released from his coffin in  the family crypt by a treasure hunter and the fun begins.

Lestat in IWTV

Last but not least is the vampire Lestat, created by writer Anne Rice in her “Vampire Chronicles.”
Lestat is a main character and often times narrator of these tales, very sophisticated sometimes sympathetic, sometimes evil. He is well portrayed by actor Tom Cruise in the movie, “Interview with the Vampire”  and actor Stuart Townsend in the movie, “Queen of the Damned.”
