Vampire haircuts

Thank god for Twilight. For years we’ve had to put up with vampires with stupid hair; finally a film’s come along that we can get onboard with.

Seriously, for hair fans, Twilight’s going to be the best horror flick ever made.

Don’t believe us? Then start clicking to find out what it would be like if all movie vamps had hair as sculpted as lead Twilight vamp Edward Cullen's (Robert Pattinson). Trust us, they look better.

Limp, curly cut that does seem to have some wax in it at least, but where’s the sculpted peak? Where are the little spiky bits? WHY DOESN’T IT HAVE HIGHLIGHTS?

Much better. Johnny Suede eat your heart out. But, you know, save some of it for Stuart.

Jesus, do fang folk all visit the same hairdresser or what? Yet another wet curl mop that makes this particular Dracula look like he was sired in 1981. Just after he had a terrible haircut.

Girls, this bat boy is super hot. Feel free to print this page out and pin it up on your wall. We totally understand where you’re coming from.

Now we’re starting to get close to the sort of sexiness that could’ve seduced Brad Pitt. We imagine Katie Holmes travelled to the future, saw this picture, then travelled back in time and told her past self to have a kid with Cruise. “It’ll be totally worth the hassle.”

Honestly, we don’t know where to start. Too many ‘80s haircuts, not enough time. We’ve never seen so much misused wax in our lives.

Bald idiot. What was he thinking, being bald like that? Being bald is so lame. Bald.
