Vampires were sexy way before Gary Oldman, Twilight, and True Blood. My apologies to the non-sexies: Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Blacula, the cast of Salem's Lot (the creepiest vampire movie ever made - especially when you are 8), Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and most specifically Nosferatu.
If you haven't seen it, record it (it's on AMC on Saturday at 2:45 AM): Frank Langella. Dracula. 1979. Awesome music. And guess what - he didn't wear pretend fangs. Apparently Frank has the real thing, baby. Check out his crazy flicking eyes.
I'm actually a big Twilight fan. That series is actually very erotic! The young kids don't know that's what they're feeling, but that's what it is! For those of you who haven't read it, I suggest you give it a try!

Thanks for letting me know about the movie. I so agree with your assessment of the older movies which I love. However, Salem's Lot -- that movie terrifies me so badly I've never been able to watch the whole thing. I try each year and have yet to make it through -- maybe this year but probably not.
