Top Ten Vampires

It's Halloween time, kids. And you know what that means: while the Moral Majority scrambles to protect impressionable young minds from the pagan influences inherent in a plastic Optimus Prime costume, the rest of us are dressing as the undead and eating Milk Duds from tiny boxes until we puke.
