Vampires may be dangerous, and they definitely bite, but we just can't get enough of these beautiful bloodsuckers. There have been countless vampires throughout film history [1], but the big screen isn't the only place where you can catch these creatures lurking in the dark. The vampire craze hit a real renaissance in the 2000s [2], and we've collected the GIFs to prove it. (It's not over — The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder is taking his fangs to Netflix [3].) You might want to turn the AC way up . . . and put away the garlic.
