[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Crushes on Vampires (was: from an older main list post)

[Wanda Mallett]

Oh, yeah! Barnabas Collins of Dark Shadows has my vote
for sexy vampire! That sad man had it all and still
does! Jonathan Frid was excellent in the old series
and Ben Cross on the summer fill in back in 1997! 
the many men who played Dracula, Christopher Lee,
Louis Jordan, Frank Langella, and Gary Oldman, all
excellent! Vampires certainly have their way of things
to include all of them in Interview with a Vampire!
Antoino was sexier than Tom Cruise or Brad Pit!

I'll take Barnabas Collins anytime! I know showing my
age again!
