Gerard Butler Wins Vote as the Hawtest Count Dracula


We couldn't conclude the Ultimate Hawt Vampire Poll without more thoughtful analysis of the very, terribly, really important results.

So let's do breakdowns of your voting. Who brings the heat to one of our most beloved and feared characters? See for yourself.
Gerard Butler in the fabulously cheesoid "Dracula 2000" trounces all others.

Coming in second, Gary Oldman makes a respectable showing, especially considering that he was wearing a hideous wig for much of the time and is actually acting. What does it mean? It means that fans want a Count Dracula who levitates during sex, has a rockin bod, and looks amazing in a long black coat.

ShimmyShadenfreude has a video that proves the point: Gerard Butler's Dracula is TNT, he's dynamite!





I was very pleased that Kate Beckinsdale as Selene in "Underworld" brought the hawtness for chicks. She handily out-hawted her very talented, sexy co-stars and fellow nominees Bill Nighy as Viktor and Scott Speedman as Michael Corvin.

This Gratuitous Video of the Day by JeansGoBang features the range of "Underworld" hotness, including an appearance by werewolf Lucien (Michael Sheen). Music by the inimitable Rob Zombie. In an ideal world, there would be fewer videos set to Evanescence and more set to Zombie.





Other Results
  • Jason Dohring as Josef in "Moonlight" is 10% hawter than Brad Pitt as Louis in "Interview with the Vampire."
  • Antonio Banderas as Armand is 250% hawter than Tom Cruise as Lestat in Interview with the Vampire."
  • Among obscure, short-lived series, Mark Frankel as Julian Luna in "Kindred: the Embraced" was incrementally hawter than Gerriant Wynn Davies as Nicholas Knight in "Forever Knight."
More tomorrow. I'm supposed to be writing, not doing these delicate scientific calculations. Go buy my books.

Here's a spanking new video by Rycheland in honor of our Dracula winner. WARNING: It has nipples in it so if you don't have nipples yourself and you find them offensive and/or terrifying, don't watch it. The song has a delightful Eurotrashy disco quality.

Dragula is a good song :)

Happy, that Gerry won for hotest Count Dracula. As much as I love Geraint, I do have to admit Mark Frankel is hotter.

My hubby is getting that movie for me this weekend!

Chris, I've joked that I should be writing Vampire Wire's Guide to Hawt Vampires if I want to increase my book sales.

NightDweller, the song's so important on a video. I have posted some videos that are really good, but the music's awful.

Shell, I'm glad that Gerry won something!

Caffey, I can't believe you convinced your husband to buy "Dracula 2000" for you. I have never been able to watch the whole thing. However, there are segments of it that are just delicious.

In honor of this momentous occasion, I am going to watch Dracula 2000. Maybe twice.

FryKitty, please don't! It will be too much of everything all -- too much beautiful GB, too much Virgin Records product placement, too much religious symbolism! However, I can never get enough Nathan Fillion as a priest.
