Line 48:
* Played straight with Ragamuffin, who is drawn as a very attractive [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] male by most ''[[Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl]]'' fans. In the original comics, this is not quite clear as all the characters are caricatures, although the titular Lenore is mentioned to be extremely cute, in spite of her quite [[Grotesque Cute|grotesque, morbid]] traits. This implies that both Lenore and Ragamuffin would be beautiful if they were realistically portrayed.
* Vampires in ''[[Life Sucks]]'' aren't necessarily any better-looking than humans, but with the ability to [[Charm Person|cloud the minds of others]] comes the potential to force others to fall in love with them. The protagonist describes it as glorified date rape.
 
 
== Fan Works ==
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* ''NGE: Bloodlust'' has Rei becoming a vampire. It makes her a borderline nymphomaniac and Maya gets herself off by being fed on by a vamp. [[Les Yay|Do the math.]]
** [[Squick|Now mark the next full moon on your calendar.]]
 
 
== Film ==
Line 82 ⟶ 80:
** Who could forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24czSl30EmA Dracula's brides] and their...''interesting'' use of the furniture.
* Dracula and his three vampire brides in [[Dracula 2000]]. One of the brides, Solina, lampshades this trope by drawing a connection between vampires and lovers.
 
 
== Literature ==
Line 99 ⟶ 96:
* ''[[Vampire Kisses]]'': Alexander Sterling.
** Alternatively, his cousin Claude. You know, the one that hits on all the girls, single or not.
* Many of the Magpyr clan in ''[[Discworld/Carpe Jugulum|Carpe Jugulum]]''.:
** Many of the Magpyr clan in ''[[Carpe Jugulum]]''.
** Also, to quote Otto in ''[[Discworld/The Truth|The Truth]]'', "[[Vampire Vords|Vell, let's just say, zey don't]]''[[Vampire Vords|alvays]]''[[Vampire Vords|scream]]."
** This is [[Theory of Narrative Causality|pretty much a rule on the Disc]]. In ''[[Discworld/Thud|Thud!]]'', it is commented that female vampires look stunning in just about anything, and that, unlike males, they can't reform their clothing when changing back to their human form, 'probably due to all that underwired nightdress business.'
** Subverted for laughs in ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'' with a pair of overweight, middle-aged, Morporkian vampires who'd certainly ''like'' to be sexy and elegant.
*** And the Countess isn't even a vampire proper - she's just pretending because her husband inherited vampirism with the title, well past the point where biting the missus was likely to happen.
** Lady Margalotta is described as attractive, but resembling "a woman of a certain age".
Line 120 ⟶ 118:
* ''[[Necroscope]]'' goes interesting directions with this trope. Its vampires have [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|impressive shapeshifting capabilities]], which, though [[Body Horror|unpleasant to look at]], can [[Exotic Equipment|greatly enhance sex]]. Then, [[Vagina Dentata|when it's]] [[Out with a Bang|time to]] [[Squick|feed]]...
* [[Vampire Hunter D]]. Full stop. [[Even the Guys Want Him]]. He pretty much has a lust aura. Other Nobles as well, to a lesser extent.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 148 ⟶ 145:
* Strongly suggested in the video for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOxhH8N3Bo "Total Eclipse of the Heart"] by [[Bonnie Tyler]]. In fact, that may be the true point of the song. Composer Jim Steinman claimed he originally wrote it for a musical version of ''[[Nosferatu]'' that was never completed, and later included it his 1997 musical ''[[Dance of the Vampires]]''. When one listens to the lyrics, it does indeed seem possible that the protagonist is a lovelorn woman staring into darkness and waiting for a vampire lover to come and take her...
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' has the Toreador, Anne Rice-style vampires who stick close to humanity (especially its artists). It helps that they have powers that make them the center of attention.
** ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'' features the Daeva, spiritual heirs to the Toreador who are often called "[[Horny Devils|Succubi]]" by other vampires for obvious reasons. They carry on the tradition of powers that can make everyone in the room fall in love with them, and the new weakness of having to indulge their Vices at every opportunity or take a hit to their will (most often [[Lust]] or [[Villainous Glutton|Gluttony]], but a Daeva with Wrath as their Vice is...something to run away from).
Line 163 ⟶ 160:
** [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Vampire_Fascinator Vampire Fascinator] too, although her Japanese concept art and Effect suggest many of her seduced victims are other vampires.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Nitara from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' ''Deadly Alliance''.
* Lampshaded in ''Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines''. When you try to seduce the guy selling blood in the hospital, he says, "I don't do dead chicks."
Line 173 ⟶ 170:
* Dracula in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series has tons of sex appeal, whether he's drawn in his mid 20s or early 40s. [[The Vamp|Carmilla]] says as much in ''Judgment'', and she's the [[Lesbian Vampire]] [[Trope Codifier]]!
** [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080227202204/castlevania/images/2/27/Alucard_002.jpg Apparently, it's hereditary.]
*** {{spoiler|Interestingly, even human incantations of either Dracula or Alucard share the same aspects. The few instances we see of Dracula as human or reincarnated as human doesn't seem to lack in sex appeal, and even Alucard as Genya had the description of being "very cold but inhumanly attractive".}}
*** {{spoiler|And Soma, the latest incarnation of the Dark Lord, is pretty easy on the eyes too...}}
* In ''[[Sam and Max|The Tomb of Sammun-Max]]'', Nefertiti the mole girl finds Jurgen irresistible. Admittedly, even ''before'' he becomes a vampire, but even moreso after that. Jurgen lampshades this.
