Vampires have been a huge part of horror and fantasy genres for ages, but for the longest time, most of the well-known ones looked pretty much the same: not like us. However, there are a few Black vampires who have stepped into the spotlight and completely changed the archetype. From Blacula, the original, to Blade, the half-vampire, vampire slayer, and even the fresh take on Interview with the Vampire‘s Louis, each of these characters brought something new to the genre.
