There's always been something erotic about vampires - only able to go out at night, kept young and beautiful by the machinations of powerful occult forces, and unforgivably deadly to any unlucky enough to cross their path. In traditional vampire literature, the bloodsuckers only fed on those of the opposite sex, which meant for every Dracula there's a bunch of neck-punctured ladies left behind. It wasn't long after Bram Stoker penned his original vampire tale that a female Nosferatu was conceptualized - inspired by the real-life atrocities of the Hungarian countess Elizabet Bathory, who would supposedly bathe in the blood of virgins to maintain her youth. Female vampires are known for being seductive as well as murderous, and we've seen them in film, TV, comics and even video games. This list contains our fifty favorites, as beautiful as they are deadly.
