Russell Edgington – “True Blood”
Long live the king! Russell hated the fact that vampires had to seek equality with humans. And in the speech below (which may have been the highlight of the entire “True Blood” series), Edgington talks about his dislike of humans and delivers the money shot line, “Why would we seek equal right? You are not our equals. We will eat you after we eat your children.” Classic. And it’s not just humans Edgington rails against. He’s not a big fan of The Authority (or authority in general, for that matter), the vampiric governing body. He remorselessly killed The Magister after the powerful vamp presided over Russell’s wedding to Queen Sophie-Anne. Edgington was 2,800 years old and had powers far beyond anyone he faced on “True Blood”. If it wasn’t for a couple of questionable emotional decisions here and there, Edgington might still be reigning vampire king of Mississippi because, as he said, “Mine is the true face of vampires!”
Dwight Renfield – The Night Flier
Thought to be nothing more than your average run-of-the-mill serial killer, Dwight Renfield is pursued by trash journalist Richard Dees for what seems like lifetimes. Renfield’s M/O is that he lands a black Skymaster airplane at a tiny airport at night and completely slaughters anyone and everyone in the place. No survivors. That’s some pretty intense hunting. This continues as Dees closes in on the killer. The entire film, which basically plays out more like a whodunit, gets its payoff in the brutal climactic scene where Renfield and Dees finally meet face to face with Dees asking the vampire to show his face. Unfortunately, just the sight of Renfield’s absolutely homely mug causes Dees to lose his sanity. A gory and disturbing scene with victims of men, women, children and even the unborn rising from the dead and surrounding Dees was truly chilling.
