Edward Cullen among the Cineplex's 10 Best Vamps in Pop Culture

Unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably noticed that vampires have taken over the entertainment industry. From TV to movies and "True Blood" to Twilight, they’re firmly in the spotlight (or dark shadows, as the case may be). But this vampire craze isn't exactly brand new since audiences have been fascinated with the undead ever since Bram Stoker put pen to paper and while they've repeatedly come to the forefront of pop culture, this latest wave may be the biggest one ever.

So with sharp teeth and immortality on the brain, thanks to this weekend's most recent addition Underworld Awakening, we count down the best of the beloved bloodsuckers who've captured our imaginations over the years. Did your favourite vamps make the list?

7. Edward Cullen - The Twilight Saga

So there are these novels being turned into a film series, not sure if you've heard of them...Twilight something or other? Anyhoo, apparently the kids are going coo-coo banana crackers over the romantic lead and after doing some digging, it would appear that he's no flash in the pan. I kid, of course, you'd have to live in a concrete bubble not to know that for all intents and purposes, Edward Cullen is the perfect man-vamp - he's tortured, talented, romantic and, oh yeah, gorgeous (though he loses slight points for the whole sparkling thing). While each generation has their own pop culture vampire to tingle their spines and ignite their passions, there's no doubt that Cullen is that vampire for the new millennium.
