This image was taken from the film Dracula, this is the natural form he takes but he can transform into a better looking man. The image of a vampire was humanlike but ugly with rough skin and big  white hair and blood shot eyes.

This image is from Nosferatu, one of the first versions of a vampire on tele, the image back then was scarier, he has long claws, big eyes and ears, massive teeth, exaggerated eye brows and a bold head, this is the least human like version of a vampire.
