Hey folks! Last week you might recall we asked you, our most excellent readers, to tell us who you think the greatest vampire is from comics, movies, literature, or television. Clearly, Spike was the fan favorite, but since we can't divide three prize packages up amongst the hundred people who voted for him, here are our three favorite picks. Congrats to our lucky finalists!

Matt Bracher:
"My favourite vampire, ever since it was published, is BUNNICULA. A vampire who drained vegetables of their juice and colour, leaving behind only the drained shell. (The sequels were never as good. But the original book was magical." 


Benjamin Rabin: 
"My dear friends, "The Count" from Sesame Street is clearly the greatest vampire of all time. What child hasn't grown up with fond memories of learning to count with that energetic, ever-laughing, nocturnally inclined teacher. So many of us took our very first steps into a world of numbers with a vampire, and never questioned it or thought it odd..."


Erin Riley:
"David from The Lost Boys! To me that is the way a vampire is supposed to be: cool, sexy, and unapologetically bad. Kiefer Sutherland did a great job with the character and that movie has stayed in my top 5 since '87. The touchy-feely-emotional vampire is ok for the most part (as long as there is no glitter), but I'll take a show with dirty biker vamps over them anyday."


That's right folks. Old-school vampires always win.
