I wouldn't be too certain about that:

The most well-known examples (these days, at least) are of the extraction you mention, but vampires in one form or another date back to the earliest civilizations, and some of those versions were no less seductive than those of today.
There are some very good tales featuring vampires, of course, in classic fantasy and horror; Clark Ashton Smith's vampires were often very seductive indeed... and particularly nasty (see "The Death of Ilalotha", for example....)
