Robert Pattinson in Twilight

It could be the whole dark and dangerous thing, perhaps it\'s the immortal beauty, the power and the passion or maybe it\'s the tortured soul act but there\'s just something about these creatures of the night that has us ladies swooning. And swooning we are - in droves, over the newest member of the sexy vampire gang, one Edward Cullen of the Twilight phenomenon.

Played by Robert Pattinson, Edward is a vamp with a conscience who falls head over lightening-quick heels for his very mortal classmate, Bella - and a grand passion of epic proportions is born.

The books have already sold over a mind-boggling 25 million copies and the long-awaited film is already causing hysteria amongst the female half of the cinema-going population. We can\'t wait  - and so to whet your appetites, and to pay homage the most fanciable immortal yet, we\'ve put together our top sexiest on-screen vampires...

Brad Pitt in An Interview with a Vampire

We love a good period costume here at getlippy - add to that long locks, brooding intensity, a hint of danger and a man who\'s too damn gorgeous for his own good and Brad Pitt was always going to win female fans as reluctant vampire Louis in An Interview with a Vampire.

Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys

\'They\'re only noodles, Michael\'

80s cult classic The Lost Boys launched Kiefer Sutherland to heartthrob status as vampiric punk ring leader David. The man even made a set of fangs and a bleached mullet look hot...

Wesley Snipes in Blade (all of them)

Ok, so not strictly a vampire but he still makes the cut. Wesley Snipes relished the role of halfling vampire-hunter Blade, we relished the honed and toned abs, impressive sword skills and all-round air of moody mysteriousness.

Stephen Dorff in Blade

And as for co-star Stephen Dorff as Blade\'s enemy Deacon Forst - us girls were certainly not short of the eye candy...(although we do think the make-up artist got a tad carried away with the face talc)

Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned

Stuart Townsend proved a popular choice to play Lestat in Queen of the Damned, as author Anne Rice said of him "He had Lestat\'s excellent speaking voice and his feline grace", and plenty of crowd-pleasing top off moments for us to admire his very admiration-worthy musculature. Truly a vamp with a gym habit...

Sexiest screen vampires

Spike in Buffy

Billy Idol-esque hair, a battered leather duster and a dodgy London acccent, behind his rebellious and sarcastic exterior Buffy\'s constant companion Spike had a heart of gold that earnt him a considerable female following.

Sexiest screen vampires

David Boreanaz in Buffy

Another blood-sucker and champion brooder that lost his immortal heart to a mortal - so popular with the ladies was Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that David Boreanaz got his own spin-off show as the sexy sensitive vampire with a soul.

Sexiest screen vampires

Gary Oldman in Dracula

And finally - perhaps the most famous blood-sucker of them all. Gary Oldman played a star turn as the sexily sinister Dracula with a particularly dapper wardrobe.
