With millions of teenage girls lining up to see Edward on the silver screen in "Twilight" this weekend, we compiled a list of the 10 1/2 most awesome vampires in movies.

Barnabas Collins, the vampire of Dark Shadows, is the ultimate vampire and it's a shame he wasn't on the list. He was first vampire to struggle with his curse. He's still the one of the most talked about for this reason. He'll always be number one in my book.report abuseBecky D posted November 21, 2008, 10:49 pm PST
