...And he does NOT sparkle.
Verona, Marishka, and Aleera Dracula. Usually just living props, until "Van Helsing" made them badass minions and characters in their own right. In any case, they're still sexy.
"Even a man who's pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms,
And the Autumn moon is bright."
Personally I think a good name for her is "Evelyn Frankenstein". Mary Shelley nicknamed the first monster "Adam", it's only fitting she should be his Eve.
Ugh, who filed this? It was Fritz, goddammit, FRITZ!
Imhotep, faithful high priest to the Pharaoh Amenhotep, buried alive for over 3,700 years
Created the mummy archetype we know today
What truly makes Dr. Griffin dangerous is that he's smart enough to know how to use his ability to its greatest potential. He knows his limits and finds ways around them.

Fun fact: her book was written 26 years before Dracula. Also, she's the original lesbian vampire.
The slaves of a long-lost ancient Sumerian society. Their movie also comes with a neat little educational segment about the history of 'hollow Earth' theory.

His creations include an 8-foot-tall robot man, a "Devisualizer" belt that turns him invisible, and mechanical spiders that release a powerful gas that induces suspended animation
From "Son of Dracula". Unless that was just Dracula in disguise. The movie was kinda vague about it.
From "The Man Who Laughs".
He was an inspiration for Bob Kane while creating the Joker. That should tell you something.
Screw Disney, this used to be a horror flick
The Great Old One himself. Older than the very universe itself.
Beezelbub. Lucifer. The Lord of Darkness. The Reaper of Souls. The Really Angry One.
