History Main / LesbianVampire

* ''Film/VampyrosLesbos'', a film with pretensions at artistry. Relatively tame, it is still considered a cult classic and is well known for its music track. The movie's director, Jesús "Jess" Franco, is widely known (in the right circles) for his horror/sexploitation films.
** Franco later took the trope much further in ''Les Avaleuses''/''Female Vampire''/''Erotikill'', which can still be considered an "art film" despite occasionally crossing the line into pornography. Jean Rollin was also extremely fond of this trope in the 1970s.

* Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'' introduces Striga and Morena, a pair of lesbian vampires who are in an apparently committed relationship with each other.

** Male vampires are mostly only able to seduce women to feed on, while female vampires can seduce women and men.

* ''Film/EmbraceOfTheVampire1994'', "starring" Creator/AlyssaMilano, has a lesbian vampire scene.

* ''Film/EmbraceOfTheVampire'', "starring" Creator/AlyssaMilano, has a lesbian vampire scene.

** 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 bisexual.

* Screamqueen from ''ComicBook/ScareTacticsDCComics'' in Franchise/TheDCU. Although she had a growing WillTheyOrWontThey romance with her fellow band member Fang (a male werewolf), she fed exclusively on female victims, and it was implied that this was [[KissOfTheVampire highly pleasurable for the women involved]].

* Became a DeadHorseTrope (or possibly an UndeadHorseTrope) through overuse in 1970s Film/HammerHorror films, most famously, the Creator/IngridPitt vehicle ''Film/TheVampireLovers''. The same character ([[TheOtherDarrin with a different actress]]) fell in love with a man in the sequel, ''Film/LustForAVampire'', but she also had dalliances with female students at her boarding school. ''Film/TwinsOfEvil'' features a female vampire biting a female victim on the breast.

* In ''Film/VanHelsing'', the Brides of Dracula display some notable lesbian tendencies, especially Brides Verona and Aleera.

* In the ''Series/Charmed1998'' episode "Bite Me", Paige temporarily becomes a member of a lesbian vampire coven (which includes a gay male vampire).

* Music/DrCarmilla, though uniquely she's asexual as well.

* In interactive romance novel ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}'', almost all the characters, including the vampires, are queer in one form or another. The narration specifically labels Lady Cassandra Mallory as an aromantic lesbian vampire:

* Invoked in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' with the all-female vampire ninjas. In order to suck someone else's blood with the victim suffering as little pain as possible, if not none at all, the KissOfTheVampire is required. However, the vampire ninja culture has an odd custom that makes the act of kissing a male equal marriage. Seraphim apparently knows her culture's marriage laws, as the only one she's ever seen kissing onscreen is Haruna. Interestingly enough, though she's been rather brash to him throughout the series, later on it's hinted she might have started developing feelings for the male protagonist, Ayumu.

** Lara Raith also killed her sister Madeline in ''Turncoat'' by feeding on her. Lara also made a point of literally ripping Madeline's intestines out at the same time and lovingly telling her how she'd always wanted to do this, making for one the most gruesome and disturbing moments of the entire series.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Erzsébeth Báthory, the "Blood Countess", is a disturbing real-life example, if all (or even some) of the legends surrounding her are to be believed. She is said to have had "trysts" with her lesbian ''[[IncestIsRelative aunt]]'' and was rumored to have molested her female servants and later the pupils at her finishing school before torturing them to death. (The [[BloodBath legend about her bathing in their blood]] was invented later, and never mentioned during her lifetime.)
* [[http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/lesbian-vampire-killer-seeks-jail-transfer/2007/03/30/1174761734928.html Tracey Avril Wigginton]] and her lover(s) killed a man and drank his (and each other's) blood.
* To her great amusement, [[Series/TheRachelMaddowShow Rachel Maddow]] was [[http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/maddow-outs-lesbian-vampire accused of being one.]]
* In Jamaican patois, at least as late as the 1970s, 'vampire' meant 'lesbian. There is speculation that ''Film/DraculasDaughter'' made an impression leading to the identification of the one with the other.

* ''Film/FrightNight2NewBlood'': More of a bisexual vampire, but Gerri vamps on several women in scenes that are played up very erotically.

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to Creator/SamuelTaylorColeridge's 1797-1816 unfinished EpicPoem [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43971/christabel "Christabel"]] and the 1872 novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when Film/HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, lesbian vampires have become a dime a dozen, popular because they add an [[GirlOnGirlIsHot extra layer of titillation]] to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.

* Screamqueen from ''ComicBook/ScareTactics'' in Franchise/TheDCU. Although she had a growing WillTheyOrWontThey romance with her fellow band member Fang (a male werewolf), she fed exclusively on female victims, and it was implied that this was [[KissOfTheVampire highly pleasurable for the women involved]].

* Averted in The Orion Experience song "Vampire", where she definitely preys on men.

** Claudia Demona is a bisexual example, having no hangs up with seducing the vampire male Requiem, as well as having a sexual relationship with Elizabeth Bathory and [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty expressing some lewd interest]] in CuteGhostGirl [[MatzoFever Rebecca]].

* In ''LightNovel/{{Overlord|2012}}'', Shalltear Bloodfallen is a weird combination of ButNotTooBi and ILoveTheDead. While she spends a lot of time with female "toys" and never does the same with men, the only person she has ''romantic'' feelings for is Ainz... a male ''[[DemBones skeleton]]''. When Ainz is forced to come up with an alias for Shalltear on the spot, his first thought is "Carmilla" but he discards it for being too obvious.

** When Willow faces her vampire EvilTwin in "[[Recap/SherlockS03E03HisLastVow Dopplegängland]]", the latter hits on her, leading human-Willow to give the page quote above. (Actually, [[NoBisexuals bisexual would have been more accurate]]). In later seasons, Willow does get a girlfriend or two, one of which eventually leads to a FreakOut, so this is really good {{foreshadowing}}.

* ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' OAV Episode 5, "Moonlight Rambler", has overtones of this with two escaped {{SexBot}}s who must drink blood in order to stay alive.

* ''Manga/TrinityBlood'' has Shahrazad al-Rahman a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire who is ''very'' fond of the heroine, Esther Blanchett.

* ''Series/{{Blade}}'' the TV series. The heroine is engaged in blatant LesYay soon after she's turned into a vampire, despite not showing any previous inclination towards girls.

* In the ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' episode "Bite Me", Paige temporarily becomes a member of a lesbian vampire coven (which includes a gay male vampire).

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' had a very, ''very'' well [[ShapeShifting disguised]] example of this trope. The word "vampire" is [[NotUsingTheZWord never even said]]. The [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Wolaxian arachnid]] enters the ship to get [[HoYay one of the girls]]... I mean, their [[LiquidAssets personality traits]]. The homoerotic part is very short, though.

* ''Series/ForeverKnight''. Janette showed some interest in a young prostitute, planning, at one point, on making her a vampire. Her vampire bartender at the Raven can also be seen checking out the legs of a woman dancing on top of her bar in "A More Permanent Hell".

* While they are OutOfFocus, ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'''s Lahmian vampire bloodline carries shades of this. Almost entirely women (rather homoerotic on its own), their first example and leader rather DoesNotLikeMen, [[KissingCousins may have had a thing for a female cousin]] (though her being turned into a vampire was actually a magical accident in an attempt to save her life by a man who had mutual feelings for her, which eventually was validated in ''TabletopGame/WarhammerTheEndTimes'') and dotes on her favored subjects. Lahmians are impossibly alluring [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer (to women included)]], and some Lahmians became vampires after devotedly serving one who they probably were love-struck with.

* ''Series/FirstKill'' is a show about a lesbian vampire teenager, Juliette, who falls in love with vampire hunter Cal. However, she subverts the archetype: Juliette has no desire [[IJustWantToBeNormal to be predatory to anyone]] and her love for Cal helps her stave off her HorrorHunger. It's played a little straighter with her sister Elinor, who likes to seduce her victims before killing them ForTheEvulz, and doesn't seem to care about their gender.

* Inverted in ''Literature/InterviewWithTheVampire'', in which a man is seduced and transformed by a male vampire. Lestat claims that, before the twentieth century, he was exclusively attracted to men, since he didn't consider women to be very interesting. (Though he did seem fairly interested in [[ParentalIncest his mother]].)
* Oscar and Eli in ''Literature/LetTheRightOneIn'' count as a gender-flipped example, as Oscar is a boy and Eli is a [[spoiler:castrated boy posing as a girl]].

* Countess Bathory in the sadly overlooked ''Film/DaughtersOfDarkness''.

** Most of the male vampires in season 1 are same-sex attracted -- Lestat, Louis, Armand. It's somewhat a JustifiedTrope when paired with ILoveYouVampireSon. Immortality can be lonely, so most vampires want a companion. If -- just by chance -- you have one vampire who's a queer man, he may intentionally turn other queer men into vampires for romantic purposes. Bisexual Lestat seduces gay Louis and turns him specifically so he can be his vampire husband sharing EternalLove.
