Kat Graham's got many backslashes after her name—singer/actress/trendsetter, to name a few. But audiences best know the 23-year-old stunner as /teen queen, thanks to her role as the enchanting witch, Bonnie Bennett, on The CW's mega-hit series The Vampire Diaries.

Director: Joel Schumacher
Stars: Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes

Kat says: "I picked The Lost Boys because it’s a cult classic, and just the fact that it is a vampire movie is a plus."

Director: F.W. Murnau
Stars: Max Schreck, Greta Schröder, Ruth Landshoff, Gustav von Wangenheim

Kat says: "The movie's cinematography is amazing and it’s so old school. It's how I see vampires when I think of them. I like the scariest versions of them."

Director: Francis Lawrence
Stars: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Charlie Tahan, Salli Richardson-Whitfield

Kay says: "Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he’s also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting. Also, I liked I Am Legend because it was so unexpected. The movie wasn't what I thought it'd turn out to be."

Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Stars: Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie

Kat says: "I was already a big fan of Abraham Lincoln, but when they made him a vampire hunter, that just made him so much cooler. He was just kicking so much vampire ass. It just made me love Abe even more."

Director: Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Stephen Rea

Kat says: "I just love it when I see girls continue kicking ass, and Kate Beckinsale still looks amazing in a catsuit."

Director: Len Wiseman
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Bill Nighy, Tony Curran

Kat says: "I like that the Underworld series created a whole other world that's totally different, yet familiar to our own. I'm intrigued by the fact that Seline's world has a completely different set of rules.

When people are like, ‘What do you think of this vampire craze?’—well, I don’t really feel like it ever ended, personally, ‘cause I've always been into them, like Underworld."

Director: Len Wiseman
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Shane Brolly, Michael Sheen

Kat says: "I liked the fact she was also in love with somebody who posed as a danger to her, and I think that’s always something sexy about the vampire genre. The film was really good at bringing the human element to such supernatural creatures."

Director: Stephen Norrington
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N'Bushe Wright

Kat says: "Blade was amazing; I can’t imagine the character without Wesley Snipes. He just made a long, black leather trench coat look so cool."

Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Stars: Gary Oldman Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves

Kat says: "It's such a classic, and it’s very sexy. I love that kind of typical vampire that Dracula is."

Director: Neil Jordan
Stars: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas, Kirsten Dunst

Kat says: "My first audition as a little girl was Interview with the Vampire for Kirsten Dunst's part. Back then, they were meeting all different kinds of girls, and I was one of them. There’s got to be an audition tape somewhere on VHS. [Laughs.] Who would have known that many years later I would be on a vampire show?"
