Top 5: Vampires
This Week I have Tanya from Tanya’s Tea Party guesting! Which I send her a big thank you for doing my first ever guest post! :) So here is her Post!
Hi all,
So I have been asked by Claire over at
Genius Vs Beauty to do a guest post J how
exciting. It is a Top 5 post in place of her Top 3, now I had some trouble
picking what to do! After a lot of Deliberation and research, I have decided on
something I have been passionate about for as long as I can remember. Vampires J.
Now this list is of vampires portrayed in
TV and film, it was a lot to think about! It is amazing how many portrayals of
Dracula and Vampires alike there are! Makes this top 5 very tricky, but fun in
a way.
So lets begin at 5, now I am going by what
I have watched.
5.
Blade, Blade 1998 – Wesley Snipes
So first up at 5 is Blade, he is such a bad
ass, he had to be included in my top five. I really like that he is a vampire
but hunts other vampires to protect humans, and he can walk in the sun without
sparkling!! I can watch Blade films over
and over and never be bored, the fight scenes are always epic J.
4.
Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries 2009-present – Ian Somerhalder
Many of you may think this choice is a bit
crap! But Damon is amazing, I read the books first and to be honest Ian does a
great job playing him. Damon rules over Edward any day! I love this character
because although he seems like the bad guy at times he is one of the good guys.
Also has that bad guy side when it’s needed xD. I have always rooted for Damon
over his brother Stefan and love watching his storyline develop.
3. Spike,
Buffy The Vampire Slayer 1997-2003 – James Marsters
I think Spike might be where I fell in love
with vampires to start with! Spike
embodies what I love in a vampire, He is a typical bad vampire, who kills
people but he also has a good heart. I love how he got his nickname, formally
named William, he acquired the nickname for his preferred method of torturing
people with railroad spikes! I do like a good villain turns hero story. Plus after
meeting James Marsters, my love for Spike has returned after many years.
2.
Count Dracula, Dracula Untold 2014 – Luke Evans
It was such a hard decision for the 2nd
spot, Dracula from Van Helsing was in the mix, as was Dracula from Bram Stokers
Dracula but I really like the fresh take on Dracula they used in Dracula
Untold. Luke Evans makes a great Dracula and I really enjoyed a different side
of Dracula. I like that he decided to acquire vampire powers to save his
kingdom and his son. For a modern vampire film I was impressed they pulled of a
good film, most modern remakes, if you could call it a remake, don't have the
same feel as older classics. However I really thought this film was one of the good
ones J.
1. Lestat
De Lioncourt, Interview with a Vampire 1994 – Tom Cruise
This was a hard decision but I have chosen
Lestat from Interview with a Vampire apposed to Lestat from Queen of The
Damned. I think this Lestat has a lot more to the character and embodies Lestat
better, plus the story has a lot more to it then Queen of the Damned. As much
as I love Lestat played by Stuart Townsend, I am disappointed that Lestat was
quite different from the Tom Cruise Lestat. A vampire set in the past is one of
the best types and I like how it shows the story through time. I do wish there
was a sequel about what happened when Lestat returned at the end, instead of a
film that isn’t really connected. I am happy that the Vampire Chronicles is
getting made into films again :D. I hope they do it justice.
Well that is my top 5 vampires. It was such
a hard pick and even now, I am thinking of other vampires and wanting to change
my whole list! I hope you enjoyed my guest post and check out my blog for more
posts.
Thank you to Claire for having me J
Toodles xx
