Ever since Bela Lugosi first donned the cape in 1931, vampire films have been drenched in sexuality. So it’s no wonder that the screen has had more than its fair share of smokin’ female nosferatu. Let the ladies have Dracula. Here are some bodacious blood-drinkers that we’d let suck whatever they wanted...
Kate Beckinsale is simply delicious as the warrior vampiress caught in the midst of the battle between her own kind and the wolfish lycans. A cross between Vampirella and Lara Croft, she seems to have a soft spot for mortal men that holds her back from murdering them—a plus in any relationship.
9. The Countess - Once Bitten (1985)
This lame horror-comedy is just god-awful, but hot-damn, does ‘70s supermodel Lauren Hutton still have it. The famously gap-toothed beauty was cinema’s first vampire cougar, inexplicably selecting the pre-famous Jim Carrey as the target of her insatiable bloodlust.
8. Miriam Blaylock - The Hunger (1983)
If you’re looking for lesbian vampire action (and who isn’t, really?), look no further than this artsy ‘80s classic. Catherine Deneuve is new-wave hot as an ancient vampire who stalks the New York club scene and rejects David Bowie for the slightly-less-feminine Susan Sarandon.
7. Marya Zaleska - Dracula’s Daughter (1936)
Speaking of lesbian vampires, Susan Holden is haunting in the title role of this Universal sequel to the Lugosi original, in which she plays a remorseful immortal who is drawn to victims of the fairer sex. In the process, she pushes the envelope about as far as you could in the era of the Hayes Code.
6. Lady Sylvia Marsh - The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
In this, the other Bram Stoker story to be adapted into a movie, gorgeous newcomer Amanda Donohoe is a priestess out to resurrect an ancient demon. Notable for an early starring turn from Hugh Grant—and for Ms. Donohoe’s awe-inspiring wooden dildo.
5. Marie - Innocent Blood (1992)
French pastry Anne Parillaud plays Marie, a vampire with a taste for mobsters. You’ll have such a hard time taking your eyes off her, in fact, that you’ll probably be unaffected by the shameless Italian-American stereotyping. Mafia movie regulars like David Proval, Robert Loggia and Tony Sirico make their requisite appearances.
Once again, an absolutely fetid vampire flick that nonetheless yields an unforgettable fanged hottie. Late R&B siren Aaliyah is stunning as the titular queen, making it all the more sad that her career was cut so mournfully short.
Yes, I’m cheating again. But I couldn’t resist this three-in-one pick. The Count’s female companions are jaw-droppingly sexy, how could you pick just one? Bet you never thought you’d wish you were Keanu Reeves.
2. Elisabeth Nodosheen - Countess Dracula (1971)
Ah, Ingrid Pitt… Hammer was always known for its gravity-defying starlets, but Ms. Pitt was without doubt the finest of them all. And in Countess Dracula, she was at her very best, creating a female vampire with as much raw sexual power over men as any male screen vampire had over women—which is why the film’s title actually made perfect sense.
Even taking a chunk out of Quentin Tarantino isn’t enough to distract from how ridiculously hot Salma Hayek is in this movie. Her appearance as an undead exotic dancer is not only one of the sexiest performances ever seen in a horror movie, but probably one of the sexiest performances of the 1990s, in any movie, period.

this list needs to be expanded because there are more than just ten....
-Olga Kurylenko (Paris I Love You)
-Nyssa (Blade 2)
-Blinka (Fangs of The Living Dead)
-Sarah (Fearless Vampire Killers)
-Lucy (Bram Stoker's Dracula)
I would like to add any of the hot babes from the Hammer films of the 60's starring the great (and my personal fav Dracula) Christopher Lee. Jugs-tacular!!!!!!
You forgot to mention that the black haired bride on the far right of the picture of dracula`s brides is none other than MONICA BELLUCCI!
You could have included the brides from Van Helsing as well. Yeah...it sucked...but they were hot as hell, especially the Red head.
Dont think #`s 9 and 7 should be on here though. Not my type at all.
Nora from My Bestfriend's a Vampire should have made this list, but horror comedy may be taboo for these kind of lists... hey wait... Once bitten... I shun this list.
Never said Movie Vampire Babes. So My List
10. Valerie Sharpe (Dracula 2000)
9. Akasha (Queen of the Damned)
8. Lily Munster (The Munsters)
7. Lilith (Bordello of Blood)
6. Nyssa (Blade II)
5. Marie (Innocent Blood)
4. Vampire Willow (BTVS)
3. Star (The Lost Boys)
2. Selene (Underworld)
1. Santanico Pandemonium (From Dusk Til Dawn)
This is actually one of the only BD lists I agree with. But yeah, Regine(Fright Night 2) should've been on here. Though I also agree, Selene's place on the list is more fitting, at least in IMO. Kate is deliciously lovely, but I never cared for the leather clad/latex clad modern vampire look. Just like I hate the "OMG, I am SUCH a goth vampire, cause if vampires lived in reality today, they'd see the Goth sub-culture as being the best to fit in to!". That is soooo Goth wanking.
3-10 could be reworked a half-dozen different ways and still be valid. But 1 and 2 are perfect - Salma Hayek and Ingrid Pitt would make anyone want to become a vampire!
Misty Mundae as Lydia in Vampire Strangler or Caroline in An Erotic Vampire in Paris or Sherry in Vampire Vixens should be included here...yeah her movies are a bit corny, but she is just so damn sexy!
There is one missing that one from the movie with space vampires the girl who let her tits hang out for the first 30 minutes of the movie SHE WAS FUCKING HOT Selene meh she's just another action movie babe
Hot babes...BUT...
COUNTESS DRACULA was NOT a vampire...she was a woman who bathed in blood....Elizabeth Bathory.
LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM- Lady Sylvia marsh was a "snake-creature". She bit but only to paralyze.
Neither of these babes drank blood.
wow you left out a great vamp lesbo movie with awesome nudity in the form of Alyssa Milano in Embrace of the vampire. Talk about hot vamp lesbos and would be blood sucking threesomes.
Good Job on the top ten. It will be hard to have everyone agree though because almost every vampire movie with a female vamp, chances are she`s gonna be hot.
i was kinda disappointed not to see Amy from "Fright Night" on the list. She was 150% hotter when she became a vampire. Tho, I've always had a thing for redheads...
I would leave out Akasha - Queen of the Damned (2002) [no fault to the deceased singer/actress who played the role .... but the film just SUCKED and doesn't deserve to be on this list!!] and would have chosen actress Eileen Daily as Lilith Silver from RAZOR BLADE SMILE (come on, you'd have to be an f'n eunich to not notice her)!!!
~(^)~
I have pin in my side when I hear about Underworld. The film was just an excuse for the director, Len Wiseman to put his wife, Kate Beckensdale in a suit of PVC and say "look how hot my wife is." Then I ask the question, what do you get a girl that has everything? Erm, a PVC outfit and a franchise. That beats flowers any day of the week, doesn't it?
Also, they ripped off a White Wolf, World of Darkness RPG module called, Under a Blood Red Moon and I believe the studio was sued for it.
To top it off the film ran out of money in the last fight scene and out sourced most of its acting talent to prague. Damn, I hate this movie for so many reasons.
Vampire movies are fucking retarded, actually the whole genre is idiotic..."So your going to bite me, Im going to become immortal and have nifty new psychic abilities? Where the fuck do i sign up? Oh wait...I forgot..heres some holy water for you to drink and a stake for your heart you sexy, er, evil bitch"...
Selma Hayek in a bikini though, DAMN!
Ah yes, who can forget the lovely Traci Lords. "A Night of Loving Dangerously", "Traci I Love You"!!!! Damn, what a decadent slice of sexual heaven!!!!
Star from Lost Boys was Jami Gertz, who you can now see on the Lifetime channels reruns of Still Standing. Now that's a horror! Grace Jones...Hubba Hubba.
selene (kate beckinsale) on 10th spot....come on man, she's the best vampire babe of all time , to me she's 1st followed by akasha (aliyah,rip)2nd and satanico pandemonium (salma hayek)3rd.....great listing buddy.......
What about the brides in "Van Helsing" and the vampire chicks in "Vampyres" from 1975. And how about Solidad Miranda's vampiric performance in "Vampyros Lesbos" from 1970.
Great list.
Monica Belluci would be my pick anyday, when it comes to The Brides.
