Who is the most horrific movie vampire?

I had a difficult time narrowing down who should appear on my most horrific vampire poll, and I decided to limit the list to movies to avoid confusion between the film and literary versions of characters. Sometimes, a vampire comes across as appalling in a book, but they're toned down for their film adaptation, and vice versa (see HÃ¥kan from Let the Right One In).

Because there's so much interest in the attractive side of vampires, there aren't a whole lot of scariest vampire lists out there. At the top, you'll pretty much find Count Orlak from Nosferatu and Marlow of 30 Days of Night, so I thought it would be fun to have those two duke it out. To throw in an underdog, I'm also including Mr. Marlow from Salem's Lot, a movie that creeped me out when I saw it at a slumber party as a teenager.

Feel free to add your own personal choice of the Most Horrific Movie Vampire in the comments section. Here are some glamor shots of the nominees:

Think I'm gonna go with Nomack, the original Reaper in the Del Toro movie Blade 2 (and pretty obviously the archetype for those critters in The Strain).

I'll add a link to one of Nomak's glamor shots so visitors unfamiliar with him can appreciate his hideousness. Nomak's photo.
