Christopher Lee’s chilling portrayal of Dracula came second, with 15% of the vote going to the star of the 1958 Hammer Horror film.
One in 10 of film fans (10%) voted for Wesley Snipes as Blade, putting him third.
The online poll was conducted by Pearl and Dean at www.pearlanddean.com.
Kathryn Jacob, chief executive of Pearl and Dean, said: ”People love to be scared witless, particularly at this time of year.
”And Edward Cullen being voted firm favourite movie vampire is testament to the fact that people still enjoy a good bloodsucker.”

His ranking for the 1922 film shows film-goers enduring fascination with the undead. Kiefer Sutherland’s role in tongue-in-cheek 1987 teen fantasy flick The Lost Boys came seventh.
