Well, Blade isn't deathly pale. He's my favorite vampire. But he's also the only black vampire. Vampires used to be more corpsey than they are now - Dracula was written by Stoker as decomposing, Nosferatu of course was basically a cadaver. Bela Lugosi started making them pretty, Anne Rice really sealed the deal.
