I like to picture them as brutally violent, completely heartless, walking weapons of death with nothing but a lust for blood.
I don't really like how alot of vampire movies have a really sappy love storyline tied in. I know Bram Stoker had some of this in his book, but I like to consider his inspiration for the character, (Vlad the Impaler) more than his story itself.
Vlad was one of the sickest dudes to ever walk the face of the Earth. He slaughtered thousands (Mostly innocent) and then put their carcasses outside of his castle on spikes as trophies. (The Forst of the Impaled.)
Vlad was Stoker's inspiration for Dracula.
It is for that reason that I am not a huge fan of Interview with the Vampire or Bram Stoker's Dracula. (They are both okay, but not even close to what I like to envision my vampires as.)
I know this probably isn't a popular opinion on this board, but I really liked how they did Dracula in Dracula 2000. He was a ruthless badass and that's the way he should be. (The movie itself could have been better, but I really loved how they portrayed Dracula.)
