How about some other classic vampires?

We've seen major references to Carmilla and Elizabeth Bathory several times, and PoR featured a vampire that was suspiciously similar to Count Orlok of Nosferatu. Are there any other classic vampires you guys would like to see in a future installment? Myself, there are two on my list that I really would like to see.

Lord Ruthven, of John Polidori's "The Vampyre", could make for an interesting rival figure to Dracula.

Sir Francis Varney, of the popular 19th century Penny Dreadful "Varney the Vampire, or The Feast of Blood" would be a very interesting vampire character. It's also worth noting that his character is probably the most important vampire in literature, being that without him, there would be no Ruthven, Carmilla, or Dracula. Also, he is the first vampire to despise his condition, making him more of a tragic anti-hero than an outright villain. And, he actually has an explanation for how he comes back to life so much: the moon.

Well Count Orlox in SotN is supposed to be Orlok from Nosfaratu although he's just a boss, nothing really important
What a horrible night to have a curse!

That would also work too. And the kind that my Math tacher makes us do would be scarier than any of them!

Nowadays you are either a graphics whore or a fanboy. BR is Shank not CV. It is ridiculous to think that it is better than CV. If it was CV then it would be what RE4 is to Resi, a series killer. Dumb it down and make it look pretty. Enough idiots will buy it.

I'd even settle for 'clever' references to other vampire names. Maybe a vampire Lestot (you know instead of Lestat? Get it?).

I just read a vampire novel, Fevre Dream by George R R Martin, author of the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire if youve heard of that.. Anyway it's a great read and the vampires are sick, so I want to recommend it to you guys.
