Our Favorite Vampires18 of 20
Ingrid Pitt as Marcilla / Carmilla / Mircalla Karnstein
Ingrid Pitt starred in The Vampire Lovers, one of the edgiest movies ever made by Hammer Film Productions and the first movie in a series that would come to be known as the Karnstein Trilogy. Unfortunately, Marcilla didn't survive the first film — one reason why the second and third movies aren't as enduring. Due to Pitt's physicality and undeniable sexuality, horror-movie buffs tend to call her the "female Dracula."
