Where does it say that vampires have to look young? In my limited knowledge of vampire history/culture, the Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise sixy young vampire look is a modern invention. In the beginning vampires were considered an evil entity; then a seducer and now, a six symbol.
Yes indeed they did, just like this guy.

Now That Guy Is Creepy!!
But that being said, I wouldn't mind a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVPxAgy7lBA, he was able to go among the living pretty well, and he was most definitely Not a "sixy young vampire".
He is Old School Scary, a Ruthless Killer and Not Creepy like his predecessor, Nosferatu.
But to me Both are really cool, and I even like the Anne Rice ones as well, but the Twilight and other ones that are out now are pushing the limits, and I think going a bit to far for sure, for me anyways. lol
