    Well, the vamps on Lifeforce that John ya ya mentioned above were of no particular gender, only took a "perfect" image from the human that approached (as the "girl" mentioned) & since they all sucked the life force out of everyone on sight...

    Dawn from Teeth! Though I'm not sure she actually eats men, but she sure takes bites out of them. Vagina dentata!

    @James7344: Although it could appear as male -- when it was trying to nosh on Uhura, it took the form of a hunky black guy.

    Still, I agree she should be here.

    Little Shop of Horrors plant pretty much makes the rest of these look foolish.

    None of them had built-in backup singers, after all.

    What about the hottie from that 80's movie Life Force who walked around naked the whole movie (niiice) sucking the well, life force out of people feeding it to some funky looking space umbrella in orbit. I think Patrick Stewart was in it, not sure but one of you can confirm or deny it.

    Surely thou jests! How could you omit Juliet Landau as Drusilla? Or Julie Benz as Darla? Or as far as that goes, Mercedes McNab as Harmony?
    Talk about a bevy of dream dates! Whew! It makes me want to drink more electrolytes just thinking about it! Oh, sorry...that was more information than you needed!

    @felgercarb_the_musical: I did deliberately leave off vampires who don't go for a little extra solid matter. The female vamps are just too numerous to name.

    @Lauren Davis: I acquiesce to your logic! However, not one to give up easily, how about Gina Torres (of Firefly fame) as Jasmine on the Angel TV series. I can't remember whether she actually did any munching, though.

    I especially appreciate the "ladies" from picture n°4!

    Have you noticed (of course you have) that ladies keep devouring men, bodies and/or souls, and/or drinking their blood... but that men don't go out for a picnic of their better halves that often?

    There are plenty of (suspiciously Freudian) explanations on why men are so scared of girls finding them crunchy, but I'll skip the psychanalysis and only sulk: who will write this anthology of ladies-eating fiction?

    (And no, Sylar doesn't count.)
