History Main / LesbianVampire

* Tina in the ''BetsyTheVampireQueen'' books by Mary Janice Davidson is technically bisexual and, as such, has emotional sway over both men and women (but not over gay men). However, she prefers women, which causes Betsy a bit of trouble early on.

* Abel Ferrara's ''The Addiction'', which features Philosophy-major vampires who spend a lot of time talking about Sartre, has a protagonist who will sometimes pick up other women. In this case, she doesn't deliver on anything sexual, and only uses it as a pretense for targeting a victim.

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to the 19th century novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu, which heavily inspired Bram Stoker's rather more famous ''{{Dracula}}''. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, the trope has pretty much become the default setting for most female vampires, adding an extra layer of titillation to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.

* The 1936 film ''Film/DraculasDaughter'', which is a sequel to the very famous 1931 ''Film/{{Dracula}}'' movie, features much lesbian subtext from the eponymous character. One of its tag lines is even "Save the women of London from Dracula's Daughter!".

* Apparently, Literature/{{Carmilla}} ''succeeded'' in the ''{{Castlevania}}'' universe, as Laura is her servant in a couple of them.

* Became a DeadHorseTrope (or possibly an UndeadHorseTrope) through overuse in 1970s HammerHorror films, most famously, the Ingrid Pitt vehicle ''TheVampireLovers''. Pitt's character fell in love with a man in the sequel, ''Lust for a Vampire''.

* Pretty much all the vampires in ''JesusChristVampireHunter'', a movie that is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The twist is that the vampires deliberately went after lesbians because they needed the blood and skin of virgins (specifically women who'd never been with a man) and lesbians gave them more to work with [[BlackComedy than pre-teen girls.]]

* Unsubtly, ''LesbianVampireKillers'', which is about the killers of lesbian vampires, and not lesbians who kill vampires or lesbian vampires who kill people. Then again, with a name like that, you can bet it's a {{camp}} movie.

* ''BordelloOfBlood'' features a scene with Lilith, the female vampire boss, standing above the bound heroine, discussing how she was about to take her for a "test drive". She escapes. Then, after you think the story's over, [[spoiler:the heroine does get turned into a vampire - the vampire didn't bite her on the neck, but on the inner thigh instead]].

* ''RazorBladeSmile'' (1998), which presents itself partly as a series of homages to and clichés from other vampire films, includes an erotic lesbian vampire scene.

* Vega in ''{{Frostbite}}''.

* ''TheDresdenFiles''. According to Thomas Raith in the novella ''Backup'', most of the White Court vampires of the House of Raith aren't particular worried about what gender they feed on. Since Raiths feed off of lust, especially lust generated through sex with their prey, this essentially means that most of the Raiths (including his sister Lara, who feeds on a woman in ''Backup'') are practicing bisexuals.

* Bianca in the TV adaptation of ''TheDresdenFiles''. Well, OK, [[DepravedBisexual Bisexual Vampire]].

** In addition, [[HotMom Maria]], Layla's mom, went through a certain...[[LesYay phase]]...with Chloe's (another friend of Layla and Nina's) mom.

* Sara Waite, from WebOriginal/WhateleyAcademy. She uses the GenreSavvy codename Carmilla. She has fangs, pale skin, and a nearly irresistible lust aura, but she's not technically a vampire. Her core paradigm may be what all vampires in history were based on, since she's actually one of the Great Old Ones: she's directly related to both Shub-Niggurath and Cthulhu. She's mostly lesbian, and has turned a couple straight women, along with picking up a couple superpowered lesbians and even two hermaphrodites. (She's flexible.)

* At the SuperHeroSchool Whateley Academy in the webfiction ''WhateleyUniverse'', there's a girl who's really a mostly demonic creature. She uses the GenreSavvy codename Carmilla. She has fangs and pale skin and a nearly irresistible lust aura. She's not technically a vampire, although her core paradigm may be what all vampires in history were based on, since she's actually one of the Great Old Ones: she's directly related to both Shub-Niggurath and Cthulhu. She's mostly lesbian, and has turned a couple straight women, along with picking up a couple superpowered lesbians and even two hermaphrodites. (She's flexible.)

* ChrisClaremont openly skirted this trope in the ''[[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} X-Books]]'' with the ancient, [[NighInvulnerable nearly unkillable]], and terrifyingly powerful mutant Selene. Admittedly, the mutants she was interested in making into her servants/disciples and teaching to feed off the life force of others (as opposed to merely using as lackeys or food) invariably had considerable PsychicPowers of their own, but it is hard to claim that [[FoeYay the fact]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar that they were]] [[LesYay attractive teenage girls]] had nothing to do with it.

* Purgatori, the lesbian vampire demon originally created by Brian Pulido as an antagonist for his main {{Stripperiffic}} heroine, LadyDeath. She may actually be a DepravedBisexual, having once been Satan's concubine, but all of the (semi-)consensual relationships we've seen have had her with women.

And, in yet another interpretation of modern media, lesbianism sometimes seems to come as part of [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] for young women.

* Gender-flipped in ''TheWheelOfTime'', where the vampire-like Draghkar are all of male appearance and implied to be asexual.

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to the 19th century novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu, which heavily inspired Bram Stoker's rather more famous ''{{Dracula}}''. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous [[AristocratsAreEvil countesses]] nibbled nubile young women. Since then, the trope has pretty much become the default setting for most female vampires, adding an extra layer of titillation to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.

This blatant sexualisation sometimes leads to a variation -- the BisexualVampire (often of the DepravedBisexual sort). In this case, the sexy vampire will happily take both men and women to bed, but her primary target for the duration of the story will usually be female.

* On ''{{Smallville}}'', Lana Lang reluctantly joined a sorority of lesbian vampires in "Thirst".

* Young adult vampire novelist AmeliaAtwaterRhodes has stated that many of the vampires in her canon are bisexual, having grown tired over the centuries of being romantically involved with a single gender.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' actually had vampires of all genders and tastes, but when Willow faced her vampire EvilTwin in "Dopplegängland", the latter hit on her. She later reported, speaking of the twin in alarm, "I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kind of gay." (Actually, [[NoBisexuals bisexual would have been more accurate]]). In later seasons, Willow actually did get a girlfriend or two, one of which eventually led to a FreakOut, so this was really good {{foreshadowing}}.

-->'''''Buffy:''' Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was.''
-->'''''Angel:''' Well, actually-- '''[[DeathGlare Buffy glares at him]]''' --[[ShuttingUpNow that's a good point.]]''

* An Asari sex vampire called an Ardat-Yakshi appears in ''MassEffect2''; the only specific victim we see of hers happens to be an impressionable girl, but she's been killing for at least four hundred years.

* In season 3 of ''TheLWord,'' Alice Pieszecki dates a sanguinarian named [[SdrawkcabName Uta Refson]], a vampirologist who is part of the vampire goth subculture.

* Hinted at in a Season 3 episode of ''Sanctuary'' where a vampire queen is awakened. Former vampire Tesla is treated as a nuisance, but the queen is VERY interested in Helen Magnus, to the point of eagerly wondering how she'll taste. Made slightly more explicit in a deleted scene in which the queen promises to teach Helen how to enjoy being fed upon.

* ''RiseBloodHunter'' opens with a use of this trope and employs it repeatedly thereafter.

** Then there is also the matter of Velvet Velour, who, apparently, has no trouble professing her love for the protagonist even if the latter is female. Also, there is Jeanette, whose famous sex scene doesn't...change any regardless of the PC's gender. Lastly, there is Heather the Ghoul, who doesn't mind whether you are male or female in her affection for you, but then, as a ghoul, she will always have SingleTargetSexuality.
