When it comes to sapphic creatures of the night, nothing beats the sex appeal of the lesbian vampire. They are sensual, beautiful, ethereal, and toxic as hell. So of course we love them.
There is also a cinematic history of sapphic sanguines seducing women, disposing of men, and generally breaking out of their gendered social confines one bloody bite at a time.
The ’60s and ’70s were the true heyday of erotic lesbian vampire cinema, and while there are a few modern entries in the subgenre, we could use many, many more. So Hollywood, if you’re listening, bring back the erotic lesbian vampire!
While we wait, here are seven oh-so-sexy sapphic vampires for you to sink your teeth into right now.
The Hunger
The Hunger
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists
The Hunger is a modern queer classic, and with good reason. Not only is it sexy and queer, it’s just so cool. The film opens with Miriam Blaylock (Catherine Deneuve) and her lover John (David Bowie) stalking their prey while Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” blares. But this is all interrupted by John’s sudden, rapid-onset aging, leaving Miriam on the hunt for a new lover. Enter Sarah Roberts, a sleep and aging expert, and it doesn’t take long for the sparks to start flying and the gauzy love scene to kick off.

Blood and Roses
Blood and Roses
Paramount Pictures
Bisexual vampire fans need to know about this French and Italian (yes, it was shot in both languages) erotic horror film. Like many on this list, Blood and Roses is an adaptation of the 1872 book Carmilla by Irish writer Sheridan Le Fanu, but in this version, the action takes place at a European estate in the 1960s. The film centers on a young, beautiful woman named Carmilla (Annette Stroyberg) who is torn between her longing for both her friend Georgia (Elsa Martinelli) and her fiancé, Leopoldo. But when she becomes possessed by the spirit of a vampire, she begins stalking her sapphic prey.

OK, now this is why we’re here! If the title alone weren’t enough to tip you off to the sexy lesbian shenanigans in this film, the Spanish filmmaker behind it is known for his work in exploitation and softcore films. The film centers around a highly sexual, pansexual vamp, Countess Nadine Carody (Soledad Miranda), who seduces and devours women who come to her remote island.

Another extremely steamy entry on this list, Daughter of Dracula centers around Luisa Karlstein (Britt Nichols), a young woman who learns from her dying mother that she comes from a line of vampires. When she vamps out, she begins targeting women for her very intimate bite (and more).

Vampire Ecstasy
Vampire Ecstasy

You have to give it up to this movie—it certainly makes good on what the title promises. The film centers on a trio of women summoned for a will reading by the baroness, Wanda (Nadia Henkowa). Once there, they’re drawn into a cult of vampire rites and orgies. Spicy, spicy.
