Our Top 5 Dracula’s Ever

My favorite "monster" is Dracula. Hands down, he is one cool guy. How can a bloodsucker pull off being aloof and charming? I don't know, but he does.

My first sighting of Dracula was in "Abbott and Costello Meet Dracula". It had it's comedic moments, which is why I wasn't really scared. Ever since, I have been hooked.

Forget "Twilight" and all those Dracula wannabes, he is the only vampire! Kudos to NBC for daring to air a Dracula series, by the way.

Here are the best portrayals of Dracula, in my humble opinion.

See Draculas at our Halloween parade!

1
Bela Lugosi
the first, the classiest, the best. Lugosi first portrayed Dracula in 1931 and has been the gold standard ever since.
2
Gary Oldman
Gary Oldman always puts a freaky spin on his characters and Dracula is no different. But, he still keeps the charm to it.
3
Frank Langella
It's all in the eyes. A good Dracula has to have piercing and intense eyes. Score one for Mr. Langella.
4
Christopher Lee
His eyes are too creepy, but at least they are intense! Christopher Lee is the scariest and meanest Dracula on the list. Very little charm here.
5
Leslie Nielson
I always love a Mel Brooks movie! Naturally, the humor is ridiculously over the top, so Leslie Nielson makes the perfect Dracula.
