Vampires
View groupVampires prey off living creatures, stalking unsuspecting humans, sucking their blood and often turning them into vampires.

Today's TV shows and movies portray vampires as sexy, mysterious and even sympathetic characters with meaningful relationships to humans. Here is a group of some of the most famous blood-suckers of TV and film.
