What do the undead wear? Well, first off, for being dead, you have incredible fashion sense.

Vampirism is about style, grace, grandeur, and eroticism. It's about corsets, flowing fabrics, and billowing shirts. If your name is Emily Kerr, you likely already have all of these items in your closet.

(Ladies: Peter Guy will look just like the above.)


And let's not forget the slayers. Vampires may be cool, but slayers are AWESOME. Special thanks to Adrian Calvert for posing for the above photo (as well as to Hugh Jackman in the center).

And then of course there's Kate Beckinsale, who is at once vampire AND slayer AND hot.


Not to be outdone, at least in his own mind, Wesley Snipes stars in "Blade" as a good-doing vampire/vampire-slayer whose thirst for mid-riff baring sidekicks is apparently unquenchable.

Contemporary takes on vampiricism have led to the phenomenom known as Goth, which features predominantly dark though often ornate clothing and the type of accessories that one might expect to find only in a dominatrix' toolbox. Chokers and spiked collars have a dual function as fashion accessories and vampire repellents. But beware, ladies: Juan Lago has been known to bite through three-inch steel spikes to get to a woman's neck, relenting only to take a three-hour siesta if his bloodlust happens to occur sometime around lunch.

Goth's influence can also be seen in musical acts like The Cure...


Marilyn Manson...


...and Evanescence.

And let's not forget South Park.
