While True Blood fans continue the long slog through winter and spring, hearts poised to go pitter-pat at the thought of True Blood returning to HBO in June 2010, some clever writers have penned pieces, some are beefing up wikis, and other folks are having contests including one to benefit charity with the winner getting a walk-on part on True Blood! Here's the scoop on all three--put together--all of them have loads of great info about your favorite vamps and vamp lovers, and vamp show, of course.
Here's fun piece in which the writer actually knows of each of the 20 hottest vampires! That right there impressed me but the humour is quite cheeky--and tongue in cheek. Pictures for each of the 20. Nice.
The winning men from True Blood are below. They are in places out of 20.
Definitely read the article --it's a fun read, loaded with info and Number 1 will surprise you!
3. (3rd place out of 20) Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman in True Blood
Let's face it: "Vampire Bill" Compton may be good looking and chivalrous, but he's not terribly interesting, and unfortunately for Bill, Eric is really interesting. What does this mean? Well, if Alan Ball follows the books even remotely, Bill may be watching on the sidelines as Sookie runs into the very pale, very cold arms of one Mr. Eric Northman. And maybe it's my love for bad boys with layers, but I'm rooting for Eric on this one. I'd much rather see Sookie in a relationship with Eric than Bill. If nothing else, the fights would be much more entertaining, and the sex probably way hotter. I know there are a lot of Bill fans out there who are probably bubbling with rage right now, but c'mon. You can't be all that surprised, can you? Let me lay it down for you: on the one hand we have a whiney, questionable dresser, who plays Wii. On the other hand, we have a powerful, leather-wearing, club owning badass Viking who can tell the other hand what to do. I think there is a very obvious and clear winner here.
10. Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton in True Blood
He's our vampire with the heart of gold. Sure, there were some killing sprees in the past with his sire, but bygones, right? Those days are long behind him. Or, well, unless somebody threatens Sookie, but that's kind of romantic, right? Maybe? Not even a little? Okay, perhaps it's a little creepy. Nevertheless, Bill Compton has decided of his own devices to give up delicious human blood, live as a human in the South, and date the lovely Anna Paquin (in real life and in the show). What's more, he's done this all without the motivation of a pesky Gypsy curse. Wow. What a guy. With a Southern accent and a serious persona, Sookie falls head over heels for this bloodsucker and it's hard not to see why. Bill Compton is gorgeous and wonderfully old fashioned and even when he does something insanely stupid (such as resorting to his dark, killing ways) you kind of have to forgive him when he shrugs, takes out his Wii, and tells Sookie that, hey, that dude deserved to die. And he's probably right. From a costume and make-up perspective, I love how the designers here have decided to give him a slightly out-dated style. It highlights the fact that he has never fully let-go of his previous mortal life, and even when he's in a crowded room you can tell that there's just something not completely right. You know, like maybe he loves A-positive a little too much.

After the jump - Before either Bill or Eric there was Louis: The vampire that first turned me on to vampires. In a very respectable 7th place, too!
7. Brad Pitt as Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with a Vampire
When arguably the sexiest man in popular culture today buckles down to play a heartbreaking and conflicted vampire in Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire , you better expect good things. And Brad Pitt definitely does not disappoint. With long, blonde hair, billowing white shirts, and a very tragic demeanor, Pitt brings the character of Louis de Pointe du Lac to life (or, rather, undead life) in this epic tale. Even though he's still sort of an evil guy (he is a vampire after all with perhaps the worst mentor ever - thanks a lot Lestat), his attempts to do what's right - however misguided - have you rooting for his success throughout the entire film. Perhaps the most tragic scene of the movie occurs when Louis realizes that a mistake he made led to Lestat turning an eight-year old girl. The repercussions both literally and figuratively haunt him throughout the rest of his existence, and through Brad Pitt's brilliant acting we see every single moment of pain played out on his face. While I'm still a little bit afraid of this struggling vampire, his perfect features, and amazingly hypnotic eyes make me want to curl up with him by a fire and tell him everything will be alright. Even though I'll probably be lying.'
I was looking for articles on conversational hynosis, believe it or not, when I came across your great post which got me thinking and lead me to what I was looking for. Strange world isn't it.
