The nation has been gripped by the war between the vampires and werewolves as the 'Twilight' films smash through the box office records.

Edward, played by the devilishly sexy Robert Pattinson, stands out among his bloodsucking brethren as he's one of the few vampires with a true romantic soul that can contain his lust for blood. There are also gorgeous vampires Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz) and James (Cam Gigandet) to keep you glued to the screen – three hotties for the price of one! Dark haired werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is also another reason to watch.

Thanks to the success of the 'Twilight' saga, Pattinson has become one of the most sought after male stars of today. But which other lords of darkness have left women yearning to be their next willing victims?
