To whomever created this graphic,
I enjoy the idea here, and it would be awesome to see this expanded to include:
The Brit (Christopher Lee, any of his Dracula films)
The Neighbor (Chris Sarandon, Fright Night)
The Punk (Bill Paxton, Near Dark)
The Best Friend (Robert Sean Leonard, My Best Friend Is A Vampire)
The Virgin (Jim Carey, Once Bitten)
The Psycho (Nicholas Cage, Vampire’s Kiss)
The Poser (John Amplas, Martin)
The Revamp (Gary Oldman, Bram Stoker’s Dracula)
The Musician (Dean Cameron, Rockula)
Shindig followers! Add your own vampire archetypes to the list. Signal boost. Lets get this graphic so big it includes Radu and Grace Jones from Vamp.

Can we all just sit here for a moment and appreciate how fucking gorgeous Maila Nurmi was even as she aged?
Seconded, and wholeheartedly at that.

Mistress to the Horror Kid
The most famous and reproduced image from the Misfits/Vampira summit on April 17, 1982. It should be noted that even though Arthur Googy quit the band earlier in the week the drummer did fulfill the rest of his obligations for the Walk Among Us tour (which ended the same day Lodi’s finest met tv’s spookiest). Alas, Arthur was in no mood for Kodak moments such as this. L-R: Jerry Only, Vampira, Doyle giving the Jersey fist-pump, Glenn Danzig. Photographer unknown.
The Misfits meet Vampira
The Misfits meet Vampira, April 17, 1982, at Vinyl Fetish in Los Angeles. Touched by their musical tribute, the reclusive horror hostess stepped out of the shadows to thank the band at this meet and greet. Notably absent from these shots is Arthur Googy; the drummer quit the Misfits two days earlier following a donnybrook with Glenn Danzig over a McDonald’s cheeseburger. First photo, L-R: Doyle, Vampira, Jerry Only, Danzig; foreground head unknown. Second photo, L-R: Jerry, Vampira, Doyle, Danzig. These images were both printed in the Summer 1993 issue of Ugly Things and came from Jerry Only’s personal collection. Photographer unknown.
