[[caption-width-right:350: Things to do when you're dead.]]

* In ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers'', a vampire friend of Zel lets his undead harem operate as a brothel due to the fact that he spends years sleeping in his coffin. Said harem consists of zombies, ghosts, skeletons and other vampires (including a ChineseVampire), the former of which the titular Reviewers have issues with.

* ''Webcomic/DraculaEverlasting'': In the third and final volume, Dracula begin reviving all the girls he bit up to that point as his vampire brides [[spoiler:including one of the protagonists' own mother]] and likewise turns a few more girls as his own personal army just before the heroes show up at his castle to settle things.

* ''[[Comicbook/ArmyOfDarkness Army of Darkness Furious Road]]'': Dracula is flanked by three brides (diversified here as his brides consist of a Caucasian, a black woman and an Asian woman) and helps in the war against the Deadites, being instrumental in driving them off from the last stronghold of humanity in exchange for blood. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the Caucasian bride is too much of a BigEater and, when captured by the Deadites, sells them out for blood...only to end up getting staked along with her fellow brides not long after.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMusicOfTheVampire'': Daphne gets kidnapped by Valdronya, a centuries old-vampire, in order to become his bride. [[spoiler:Subverted as it turns out Valdronya is no real vampire, but a book writer in disguise trying to stage a "vampire wedding" to create his own new tourist attraction, and to sell more books]].

* ''Literature/TheDraculaTape'': The brides are present as it covers the original story and even named (in this case, Melisse, Wanda and Anna. The blonde and brunettes respectively). But, in contrast to Dracula's AdaptationalHeroism where he was just looking to move to London and make new friends, here the brides are presented as wholly villainous having let the power go to their heads. Melisse even outright tries an assassination attempt on Dracula near the end of the story. Dracula mentions he doesn't really remember why he turned them (save a vague remembrance of them being kinder back then) and planned to abandon them outright in the castle. [[spoiler: At the end of the story he does gain Mina as his mate after letting her live out her normal life and dying of natural causes. The vampirism kicks in after she's buried and regresses her back to when she was younger to which Dracula happily greets her after she [[RiseFromYourGrave rises from her grave]]. This was a mutual turning by the way.]]

* ''Literature/WaywardChildren'': The [[VampireMonarch Master]] of the [[MagicalLand Moors]] likes to claim pretty young girls, raise them as his "daughters" and [[VoluntaryVampireVictim compliant victims]], and turn them into vampires when they turn eighteen. It's described in [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything very similar terms]] to a sexually abusive parent. His current daughter, Jill, is [[spoiler:desperate to become a vampire, because she's built her life around appeasing him and she doesn't know how to be anything else.]]
* In ''Literature/StraightOuttaFangton'' and the ''Literature/MorganDetectiveAgency'' (both part of the Literature/UnitedStatesOfMonsters series) by Creator/CTPhipps, vampires are practically ''required'' to have harems. This is due to the fact that it is better to drink lightly from humans regularly than drain humans completely if you're trying to live as part of regular society. The KissOfTheVampire is so sexual (and frequently accompanies sex) that these harems are usually literal. In addition, vampires are described as almost all practicing {{Polygamy}} and tend to have multiple marriages to each other.
* ''Literature/Overlord2010'': Shalltear Bloodfallen is accompanied by two female vampires that are explicitly referred to as her brides. She also counts as a [[LesbianVampire rare female example]].
* ''Literature/StrikeTheBlood'': A powerful vampire is known as a "Progenitor", and they usually amass enough power to become a sovereign nation unto themselves. In addition to this, it's standard for a Progenitor to gain a number of mates. In the case of our hero, Kojou, even when he shows no interest in doing so, other groups manipulate events to create an UnwantedHarem ''for'' him. [[spoiler:And, in a CallForward via TimeTravel, we learn that he's had children with at least more than one of these women.]]

* ''Literature/{{Fledgling}}'' has a variant: the Ina are a vampiric HumanSubspecies that form a symbiotic bond with groups of humans. The Ina gets a blood supply, the humans get [[LongLived prolonged lifespans]], and both get a strongly close-knit "family" -- albeit one [[MoreThanMindControl enforced by addictive venom]] that [[IfItsYouItsOkay overrides their usual sexual preferences]] to be compatible with the Ina.

* ''{{VideoGame/Moonrise}}'': Subverted. [[spoiler: If the player sides with the Masquerade, Sati recruits them to retrieve xer wives from Dracula's castle. The four of them appear genuinely in love.]]

* In the ''WebAnimation/{{Mashed}}'' short, "Bloodsuckers", after Kirby sucks up Dracula and ends up turning into...something akin to a vampire. He tries to suck up Simon who grabs onto a loose plank of wood in the hall they're in. As he holds on, we see flashes of him thinking what Kirby will do after he kills him: draining some of the other Smash fighters into husks [[https://imgur.com/gallery/KBMLUQ2 while turning a few of the female ones (Rosalina, Isebella, Nana, and Princess Peach) into his undead harem]].

[[quoteright:350:[[Franchise/{{Dracula}} https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/immortality.jpg]]]]

* ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'': [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The Space Girl Vampiress has two PrettyBoy vampires following her around; all three of them are constantly nude since they don't care about human conceptions of decency.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'': Lady Dimitrescu's "daughters", Daniela, Bela, and Cassandra are clear allusions to this even if the household's head vampire is their supposed "mother", not their spouse. Dimitrescu herself is a {{GenderFlip}}ped version of Dracula, after all.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'': Lady Dimitrescu's "daughters", Daniela, Bela, and Cassandra are clear allusions to this even if the household's head vampire is their supposed "mother", not their spouse. Dimitrescu herself is a GenderFlipped version of Dracula, after all.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Lestat de Lioncourt turned Louis de Pointe du Lac into a vampire [[ILoveYouVampireSon specifically to be]] to be his {{Eternal Love}}r. They're crazy about each other, but in a dysfunctional, TheMasochismTango sort of way. Before long, Lestat also has a side chick, Antoinette Brown. He's a proponent of ImmortalityPromiscuity, saying that an open relationship will help him and Louis stay interested in each other over the long-term. There's no question that Lestat ''loves'' Louis more, but a case could be made that he ''likes'' Antoinette better -- they get along more easily, and they don't constantly fight (although that's because Antoinette is a lot more compliant than Louis; she quickly backs down when she notices Lestat is getting angry, e.g. "I didn't mean to make you mad"). In [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E7TheThingLayStill the Season 1 finale]], Lestat talks about upgrading this BisexualLoveTriangle to a more overt harem setup, promoting Antoinette (now a vampire) from TheMistress to his second wife ("Antoinette will be much more agreeable to our life together") while Louis is his GenderInverted TopWife. Louis loathes Antoinette -- he's jealous of her and wants her dead -- and he would ''never'' accept the idea of having to live under the same roof with her and both having to share Lestat's bed (or coffin). For Louis, this is a far more insufferable arrangement than if she had remained as Lestat's paramour, and it's the final straw in terms of what he's willing to endure (along with years of DomesticAbuse). His outrage at the thought of Antoinette joining their household boosts his determination to kill Lestat.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': There's an ImmortalityBisexuality example with Lestat de Lioncourt. He turned Louis de Pointe du Lac into a vampire [[ILoveYouVampireSon specifically to be]] to be his {{Eternal Love}}r. They're crazy about each other, but in a dysfunctional, TheMasochismTango sort of way. Before long, Lestat also has a side chick, Antoinette Brown.
