4th Annual List of the Sexiest Vampires

Now that the weather has turned a bit chilly, it's time to start thinking of ways to keep warm during those cold nights.  When the wind is howling and the shadows outside your bedroom window start to look ominous, we all like to hunker down in bed, warm and secure.  Now I'm not advocating that a vampire is the best choice for a companion during such an endeavor, but with some of these killer men and women, how can it be an altogether bad decision?  I promise I won't judge.

Now don't worry if your favorite didn't make this year's list, chances are they were included during 2009, 2010, or 2011.  If not, it's only a matter of time before your personal creature of the night makes the list.
