First let me say that Vampire Wire was delighted, honored, and humbled by the amazing response to this much needed survey of vampire hawtness. Thank you all for participating and sharing your thoughtful opinions.
Vampire Wire Laboratories & Research Centre has compiled all the votes from the Ultimate Hawtest Vampire Poll and is now proud to announce the results.
The Ultimate Hawtest Vampire is Henry Fitzroy of "Blood Ties," as played by Kyle Schmid! Kudos to Kyle for projecting vampilicious hawtness in his portrayal of a crime-solving, comic-book drawing, unrepentent blood-drinker!The competition was fierce and Henry's win was due in no small part to anonymous fans spamming the poll. But fixing votes is a time-honored tradition and something most vampires -- except those pissy, prissy, whiny, oh-woe-is-me-I'm-undead! types -- would admire
Here is a pie-chart for you to study and commit to memory, or to remind you to have pie soon. (My favorite is apricot, but nobody makes that.)
I know it's not entirely readable, but it was the best I could do with a free graph-maker on an educational website.
I've analyzed the results using the the latest scientific methods and consulting some of the finest minds in the hawtest vampire field, including Nobel prize winning theoreticians and teenage girls. This work has yeilded valuable information, as follows.
- Despite being in a completely awful movie that didn't get huge publicity and a big budget production, Gerard Butler as Dracula in "Dracula 2000" is 1105% hawter than Tom Cruise as Lestat.
- Newcomer Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and his uber cool hawtness is preferred five-to-one over Bill Compton's (Stephen Moyer) Kentucky Fried hawtness in HBO's "True Blood."
- Spike (James Marsters) and Angel (Naked David Boreanaz) of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are almost equally hawt. Their combines hawtness would make them number three in the polls.
- Selene (Kate Beckinsdale) in "Underworld" brings the hawtness in black pleather-clad chick form, and was voted hawter than two dozen eminently hawt male vamps, including Josef (Jason Dohring) in "Moonlight," Michael (Jason Patric) in "Lost Boys," and Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli) in "Twilight."
Now the winner of the random drawing for the entire set of kick-ass Kitty Norville books by Carrie Vaughn is:
WOOFER!
Woofers votes went to Gerraint Wynn Davies as Nicholas Knight in "Forever Knight," Alex O'Loughlin as Mick St. John in "Moonlight," and Jonathan Frid in "Dark Shadows." So, her taste runs to the classic angsty and elegant vamps. Congratulations, Woofer, and thanks to Hachette Books for donating such a fabulous prize.
Woofer, please send me an email (marta AT martaacosta DOT com) with your mailing address and I'll forward it to Hachette for your prize.
Okay, here's your Gratuitous Video of the Day.
Henry Fitzroy earns his votes.
The second place winner, Eric Northman, deserves some better videos, but I have a hard time finding them. However, I do really like this song.

Congrats, Woofer!
Mmmm... Henry...
And now I am going to have my second cup o' joe and I'll be dropping by later. Hope you've all enjoyed the poll!
Congrats Woofer!!! Whoo hooo for Henry Fitzroy...I loved Blood Ties and wasn't happy when it was cancelled. Scott Speedman who played Michael to Kate Beckinsdale's Selene was half vamp and half were...he's pretty hawt!!
Congrats to Woofer!
Great wrap-up on your Hawt Vampire poll Marta! (I'm so happy to see that 'Henry' won the votes!)
*coughBillComptonnotBillCullencough*
Cyber, Michael Corvin in "Underworld" got a very respectable 15 votes, which makes him three times hawter than Lestat (Tom Cruise) and even hawter than Brad Pitt's Louis.
Kimberly, thanks for not campaigning on your site and swaying the already suspect voting!
Pissenlit, alright already! Compton, Cullen, two syllable names starting with C, for cryin out loud.
Hee hee hee! :D
That was fun. I'm glad one of my favs made second place. :)
OK - I JUST now found this blog so I didn't spam for Henry. But if I had found the poll earlier, I probably would have 'cause to me Henry is the ULTIMATE sexy, hawt vampire and a more deserving winner I cannot imagine. I ADORED this show when it was on, mourned when it left, rejoiced when it came back on The Space Station and watch every week, and totally plan on getting the series DVD when it's released in June.
Pissenlit, I hope you're happy.
Princess Allie, I'm happy that Gerard Butler got on because now I have an excuse to keep posting those vids of him as Dracula.
Kristie, welcome to Vampire Wire! I really have to look for "Blood Ties" to record when it comes on television. I always missed it on Lifetime because I never watch Lifetime.
Marta, ya, pretty happy. I didn't vote for Fitzroy(liked Blood Ties, though) but that just means more of the other guys(like Naked David Boreanaz) for me! :D
Congrats Woofer!
I like the song on the Eric video too. I hate it when they never post the name of the song they use in the video, so I had to look it up. Downloaded it and am now listening :)
WTG Woffer!
Thats so neat with the results and seeing it in that pie chart!! Cool!
Thanks for the fun poll, Marta - pie chart and all! :) Despite the fact that my Naked David Boreanaz didn't win, I enjoyed it. Thanks for being so dedicated to all our favorite vamps.
P.S. I thought the fix was in for Gerard to win?!? ;-)
Nightdweller, it's funny how some fan video tributes all have terrible music, or are all low-tech slide shows. Other characters draw out other tunes. "Supernatural" tributes tend to have good rock, and "Underworld" videos all have sucky (the bad sucky, not the good sucky) Evanescence schlock.
Caffey, the pie chart wasn't hard. Counting the results was a pain.
Karen, I thought about fixing the results, fer sure. I decided not to vote, though, to retain my unquestionable scientific impartiality, because I'm kinda famous for that. Just ask Stephen Hawking.
Yay for Henry Fitzroy!
way to go woofer!
w00t Henry Fitzroy! You teach those older vampires a thing or two about being Hawt!
I simply adore that scene with Eric in the tub. I really do. I never understood why it was Bill's backside we saw. They should give more love to Eric.
Hi Marta. Just wanted to let you know you can catch Bloodties on Lifetime Real Women, Saturdays and Sundays at 10:00 PM EST. This past Sunday they began running the series from the beginning again. Hopefully you can catch it, and when you do, you'll also fall in love with Henry Fitzroy. The entire cast is fantastic, and their chemistry is amazing.
I did vote for Henry Fitzroy as "anonymous," but I was fair and only posted once.
Congrats Woofer :D
And thanks so much, Marta for all the fanged Hawtness *g*
Hi, everyone!
Lexie, I think the show will follow Charlaine Harris's series and feature more of Eric. And they won't ignore viewer response either.
NorthAmExtreme, thanks for the info. I'll set up my recorder to tape it.
You're welcome, Suzanne! I've got more hawtness on today's post.
Congrats, Woofer!
Yay, my man Henry won!
Hey, anonymous doesn't need to equal spamming. It can just as well mean honest-to-goodness vamp fan with no time for creating a blog. We do exist you know. Right next too vamps ;)
Anonymous, I know that Blogger doesn't let you just write in your name on top, but you can always add initials or a pen name within the comment itself. That's what I do when I don't feel like signing in. I'd asked people to do this after I got way too many anonymous posts with the same formatting. I felt it wasn't fair to the other deserving hawt vampires.
