16 Undead Individuals Who Are Cooler Than Edward Cullen (And Who Aren’t Dracula)

"A ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf rent a flat together in Bristol" may sound like the beginning of a bad joke, but Being Human is anything but. I can't speak to the American remake of it currently airing on SyFy, but the original BBC version rocks my socks. Annie, the ghost in the equation, took a tumble down the stairs and wound up dead; she's haunted the flat ever since. No vengeful ghost, though, she's always there when you need her, and she makes a mean cup of tea.

The only soap opera I've ever watched regularly, Dark Shadows centered around a variety of spooky plot lines, among them werewolves, zombies, ghosts, witches, time travel, and-- you guessed it-- vampires. Well-to-do Barnabas Collins became a vampire in 1795 after a chambermaid he'd had a dalliance with sicced a vampire bat from hell on him. Wacky hijinx ensued, and Barnabas became a classic man-fighting-with-his-inner-monster.

Before Jane... before Renesmee... before even the Anointed One... there was Claudia. Turned into a vampire at the tender age of six, Claudia has never aged physically, leaving her a centuries-old woman trapped in a child's body. She may look cute and doll-like, but trust me: you don't want to see her when she's hungry.

This bunny may look cute and cuddly, but don't be fooled: he's a suspected vampire. How else can you explain his tiny little fangs and cloak-like markings?

Say what you want about Rob Zombie; Living Dead Girl is pretty damn cool. She looks like something out The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Who is this irresistible creature with an insatiable love for the dead?

In Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Sisters Bennet double as both eligible young ladies and seasoned zombie hunters in a Regency England overrun with the undead. Tragically, Elizabeth's best friend Charlotte Lucas has been bitten and spends the novel slowly turning into a zombie; however, Lizzy and Charlotte's friendship remains strong even in the face of zombification.

Known as Chuck, Charlotte Charles may not strictly be UNdead-- she did spend some time DEAD dead, though, and she certainly got a second chance at life courtesy of her childhood sweetheart Ned. Ned's magic touch can bring anything dead back to life; however, if he touches that thing again, it will die again, this time for good. Chuck and Ned circumvent their star-crossed romance by kissing through plastic wrap and holding hands through gloves.

Investigative reporter Frank may not be a zombie yet, but make sure he gets his Zombrex on time-- without the zombie-suppressing drug, he'll morph into a full-fledged member of the undead. He's good to have on your side in a fight, though, so keep that Zombrex coming.

Mad as a hatter, Drusilla is both cruel and unusual, and she'll do cruel and unusual things to you if you're not careful.

While it's true that in the first Friday movie, Jason is NOT the killer, took over the franchise in Part 2. With each successive film, Jason has gotten more and more deformed, and after the number of times he's been killed and brought back, one can only assume that by now, he's well and truly undead. He certainly does know how to wield a machete, though!

Disney is terrifying enough on its own. But Zombie-fied Disney? Run away!!!

How do you make a film about Dracula without making a film about Dracula? By making Nosferatu, of course! F. W. Murnau's classic introduced the film-going public to Dracula through the character of Count Orlok in his unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel. Now that's the way to get around all the legal mumbo-jumbo!

Shadow of the Vampire posits that Max Schreck, the actor who played Orlok, actually was a vampire himself. As played by Willem Dafoe, it's pretty believable.

He's a master of fright and a demon of light, and he'll scare you right out of your pants. All hail the Pumpkin King!

Played by Lina Leandersson in the Swedish Let the Right One In and Chloe Moretz in the English-language remake Let Me In, this child vampire is fiercely loyal. Don't cross her friends, or you may end up in pieces.

Because, I mean, zombies raving! Party!
