SUZY STUMP: ISN'T HALLOWEEN OVER? >>>

Since I actually had a life then, I never saw the Nov. 6, 2001 debut of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode ''Once More, With Feeling." Nor have I seen a rebroadcast. Only if plied with enough alcohol will I admit to watching a few episodes during the show's seven-season run, but then, as now, it always seemed to me like warmed-over Ann Rice meets 21 Jump Street. There are much better vampires anyway.

The vampire thriller Twilight hits theaters this Friday.  But how does Twilight's blood-sucking Robert Pattinson measure up against Wesley Snipes?  Keifer Sutherland?  Bela Lugosi? Buffy’s victims?

Time for a clever movie Web site marketing scheme.

Sixteen iconic movie vampires face off beginning today on Spout.  Each day you vote.  The winners survive to the next day.  Losers are mopped into a bucket of blood.

Vote each day here.
