Vampires in Media, Part 2: Our Favorite Vampires of All Time | The Tipsy Exchange

Vampire month rolls on! Last episode, we covered the movies that got us hooked (and possibly warped us a little). This week, it's time for our favorite vampires in media. Berly tried to pick some LA hadn't heard of. LA did not try to do that. At all. Each host brings three favorites. LA starts with the vampire who inspired her childhood obsession: a little girl who will never grow up but is definitely a grown woman on the inside. We discuss how the new series may change her, and LA admits she's a harsh critic. Then there's the scene-stealing Greek vampire from a certain mockumentary series who LA would watch even if they killed off everyone else. She's also the reason LA got over the show adding a woman to the original trio. Finally, LA picks a campy, dramatic Netflix heir whose "best friendship" with a werewolf was, uh, very close. (Berly would like everyone to know LA missed the subtext. Again.) Berly opens with a deep cut: a movie about the making of one of the oldest vampire films ever, with a twist that's so good she paid $50 for the DVD. Next is the leather-clad, gun-toting heroine who, when everyone else wanted to be a Trinity, Berly wanted to be. And finally, as LA knew she would, Berly brings the hard-partying Irish vampire from a certain comic book adaptation. She has a picture of him. Of course she does. Then we fire off our honorable mentions, including several True Blood favorites, a certain bleached-blond Buffy vampire (until season six), a daywalker, and an energy vampire who sucks the life out of every room. Along the way, we try to figure out whether Matt Smith is hot (it depends on the scene), there's a naked Jensen Ackles sighting, and we finally settle the Arwen and Aragorn family tree debate from our Morgoth episode. Plus, a reminder that Idiocracy is slowly becoming a documentary. This week's toast: From Deacon in the What We Do in the Shadows movie: "When you turn into a vampire, you become very sexy." Cheers! And we close with a quote from Eric Northman: "When you dream of me, dream of nice things." Tell us what you think! Who's your favorite vampire of all time? Did we miss yours? (Be honest.)
