The role of Viago in the 2013 movie What We Do In The Shadowsis the one responsible for introducing a lot of movie audiences to Taika Waititi. Audiences loved the vampire character primarily because he wasn’t the usual dark and brooding vampire. Instead, Viago was funny. As someone who has lived for more than 300 years, Viago has very specific thin...
Bella and Edward might be the main characters in The Twilight Saga, but they definitely aren't the only (or most interesting) vampires in the franchise. Rosalie Hale is one of the more compelling in Twilight. She initially seems like an angry, and even shallow person, concerned with appearance and keeping her family separate from Bella. In reality,...

One of the main members of the What We Do In The Shadows ensemble, Lazlo (Matt Berry) is certainly an entertaining vampire. In fact, all the vampires in the movie and series are. They aren’t the brooding and dark vampires that aspire to be like Dracula. What We Do In The Shadowsis a comedy that allows the audience to see vampires in a new way. Of c...
While most vampires in pop culture clearly get their inspiration (and mythology) from Dracula, Morbius is a little different. He's based in science fiction instead of the supernatural. Spider-Man villain Morbius'vampire-like abilities are the result of an experiment, not a bite. Over the years, the vampire character has become less of a villain and...
Not all the vampire characters in popular culture are at the center of dark and brooding stories. Some of them are part of children's programming, providing new takes on the mythology for the audience, which is exactly what Wizards Of Waverly Placedoes when it introduces Juliet. Meant to be Romeo & Juliet inspired, the series introduces both vampir...
Underworldalso explores the dynamics between werewolves and vampires, something a lot of supernatural franchises have come to do in the years since both creatures emerged in literature. The difference here is that vampires aren't the villains. Most vampire stories might feature one or two good guys, but they often make up the bulk of the villains. ...
When it comes to The Vampire Diaries, the story is largely Elena's. She's the human-turned-vampire that the audience is supposed to invest in.
