Portrayed by: Max Schreck
The bloodsucker in this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula may be The Count's scariest incarnation, but his drab style leaves much to be desired. Has he never heard the word ''manicure''? C —Hillary Busis

Portrayed by: Bela Lugosi
Nearly a century after the film's release, Drac first appeared in what would become his trademark man cape, inventing a look that would be endlessly reinterpreted — both onscreen and on Halloween — for decades to come. The high-water hemline is more dowdy than dramatic; perhaps there were no decent tailors in Transylvania in those days. B+ —Hillary Busis

Lee's vamp ensemble looks dashing in living color, though the crimson lining of his floor-length cape draws attention to his bloodshot eyes — creating an unfortunate ''lab rat'' effect. B —Hillary Busis

Portrayed by: George Hamilton
He's supposed to stay out of the sun, so why does this Dracula look like he's battling an addiction to self-tanner? And an affinity for over-embellishing his dress shirts. As Coco Chanel once said, always take off one neck accessory before you leave the coffin. C —Jennifer Arellano

I'm loving this ultra-minimalist, all-black look. It's so Rick Owens! Also, extra points for that nail art, which I believe is called a Transylvanian tip. Eat your heart out, Zooey Deschanel. B+ —Jennifer Arellano

The red trim on this vamp's cape is très slimming, and the ruffle detail on his shirt is to-die-for. That medal makes me think he's won some type of award — perhaps for Best Dressed Dracula? A —Jennifer Arellano
