Which Hottie with Fangs Do You Favor?

Poll from people.com

Sure, the mere sound of Robert Pattinson's name can send Twilighters into attack mode, while recessionistas are paying HBO subscription fees to hear True Blood's Stephen Moyer whisper Sookie's name in his classical Southern drawl.

But it's time to call attention to a fresh crop of forbidden baddies getting viewers' blood pumping:

Ian Somerhalder as Damon
The 30-year-old star, best known for his role as Boone on ABC's Lost, brings some bloodsucking action to network TV on the CW's new series, The Vampire Diaries – out this fall. As smug vampire Damon, Somerhalder gets in between his younger vampire brother Stefan and his mortal teen crush Elena.

Kellan Lutz as Emmett
Playing ripped big brother Emmett to Pattinson's Edward Cullen can't be the easiest job, but Lutz – who also stars on 90210 – has his own set of "Twilighters" screaming. The 24-year-old hunk, who landed on PEOPLE's "Hottest Bachelors" list, has girls (and their moms!) ogling over his steamy shirtless shots.

Alexander Skarsgard as Eric
As Eric Northman, the brooding vampire "sheriff" presiding over Bill Compton's Louisiana area, Skarsgard, 32, brings a commanding presence to HBO's cult hit True Blood. The blond Swede's character also owns hotspot Fangtasia.

So which vampire hottie do you want to be bitten by?

Comment by Alicia on July 22, 2009 at 1:08pm: No doubt, Kellan is HOT, but Alexander Skarsgard as Eric I'd love to do bad things with that bad a$$ Viking vampire!! lol! BUT, I've also read the Sookie Stackhouse series and it wasn't until I read the books that I felt that way. grrr baby! ; )

Comment by Vamp Me Please on July 22, 2009 at 1:14pm: Eric, I mean Alexander!

For those of you obsessed with Twilight, Not anybody on this site right? Anyway to help the anxiousness of waiting for November you might want to try the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. I had read the Twilight series about five times when I thought I needed medical treatment for the obsession. In an attempt to heal myself I started the so far 9 book series. I read them all in a week and a half. They are action packed fun. After reading them you will probably go for Eric too, at least those of us over 30. Just a thought, don't shoot me!

Comment by Stephanie Leigh on July 22, 2009 at 1:54pm: Alexander is HOT but so is Kellan...I can't decide! I haven't read or seen The Vampire Diaries so I can't make a judgement on Ian just yet but, I'm sure I'll check out the show when it starts in the fall!

Comment by tet_d on July 22, 2009 at 5:41pm: Uhm, I have yet to see Vampire Diaries. And I am a Team Bill over in TB, so no Eric/ Alexander for me (sorry). So if no RPattz is in this list, I go for Kellan not only because of his physique, but his charm and sense of humor as well.
