Vamp Hunters

Post by Agent Fisher »

Who do you think is the best Vampire Hunter of every media( tv, comics, movies, books)

I personally think that Blade is the best Vamp Hunter of all time.

Do Vampire that hunt their own count?


Alucard from Hellsing is up there. As far as I can tell the bastard can't be killed, not permanently. And of course he's so goddamned creepy and sadistic.


Caine from the WoD. He is supposed to hunt down and consume all his wayward children after all. And given how powerful the vamps of the WoD that's impressive as hell.

Yes vamps that hunt their own count. If not would Blade count because he is half vamp

I hated Blade (no offence).

I've always been partial to D.

Soma Cruz, from Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. If his story continues and he becomes a true vampire hunter, he could be insanely powerful (he has all of Dracula's powers).

Alucard from Hellsing may not be able to die, but he's still not a truly great vampire hunter, IMO. He got his ass owned a couple of times in the series.

My vote is for D, as well. I've always thought his character was the right way of handling a powerful hunter, particularly a half-vampire.

Haven't seen Hellsing, though. I don't recall their being vampire hunters in Interview with the Vampire, considering they were all glamorized, over-sensualized ponces in Rice's work. :roll:

On the contrary, he was only beaten twice and neither finished him. Anderson and Incognito were the only two that came close to killing him and they both failed utterly in the end.

The rest were him fucking with his oppenents. He's insane and a major sadist to those he considers unworthy of facing him. He could have killed the Valentine brothers easily and he did when he finally got around to it. Had he acted as he did against say, Anderson he would have owned them easily. He took his time taunting his opponent, torturing them. It was simply him having some sick fun.

Never read the comics. I didn't like how the film was shot and edited. I just hate that MTV-style editing bullshit.

Also, some things here and there concerning the plot and vampires bugged me.

I have to go with Vampire Slayers Buffy and Faith. Why? Just enough power to deal with their (admitedly very weak) vampires.

Other excelent vamp hunters IMO Jack Crow and Blade

Justice League- Molly Hayes: Respect Hats or Freakin' Else!

Reviewing movies is a lot like Paleontology: The Evidence is there...but no one seems to agree upon it.

OMG DOOD THATS DRACULA SPELLED BACKWARDS!! WHOA COOL!!!

Not.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

My guess is because Alucard is Dracula (or at least got the name). It's certainly not his real name, but rather what others call him.

Thats a toughie, when I said every media I meant TV, books, comics, and movies. Because you can see or imagine what they are doing. But the same goes for songs as well but only if the songs describes the way in which the Vamp hunters kills them.

I've never had a problem with the name Alucard, since it doesn't sound bad on it's own.

Isn't Alucard Dracula's son in some versions? :?

So far I think Castlevania is the only one to use it as such...but who knows.

Alucard of Hellsing and D.
Stormbringer

Caine from the WoD. He is supposed to hunt down and consume all his wayward children after all. And given how powerful the vamps of the WoD that's impressive as hell.
Actually, according to the Book of Nod. Caine will not actively hunt down all vampires. He will call them together at the site of the First City and call the names of those who's crimes are too great, and those vampires will be destroyed.

Though if that is enough to count Caine as a vampire hunter. He's the best as I'm pretty sure he could slaughter D and Alucard with both hands tied behind his back.

The Antedeluvians would be the ones who hunt down and devour their children.

I nominate Riff and Aylee though. :D
