Katie Holloway's definitions

manpire

a psuedo- preternatural being, particularly a male, who is exceedingly creepy and makes one feel uncomfortable. Often marked by pale, clammy skin and dark under-eye circles that resemble those of a vampire, and a tendency for sexual deviations (such as incest). Often the main villain of a movie, novel, or television show.

See 'Creeper'.

Commodus from Gladiator, The Phantom of the Opera, Hannibal, and Count Olaf from a Series of Unfortunate Events are all prime examples of Manpires in their various degrees.
