howdy everyone i'm a collector of the lesbian* vampire trope, and of lesbian vampires in general. from what i've seen (and it's not that comprehensive...), the lesbian vampire as a trope was more or less born with lefanu's carmilla, and movie-wise peaked in the 70s due to her spectacular suitability for sexploitation horror, had some synergy with 2000s homophobia and then mostly died off because, as much as i love her, a predatory lesbian is a bit problematique in today's zeitgeist. what i mean is: if i were to be strict about this entire affair, i'd separate media where a vampire woman has some sort of homoerotic thing going on into two groups — the og lesbian vampires of carmilla's lineage, and vampires who are lesbians.
* no point in drawing a strict line between lesbian and bisexual here. the trope describes female vampires that suck women, and it's mostly used on exploitative contexts, rather than being related to identity. it's about the transgression and titties etc, not "unproblematic representation" for fucks sake.
this page / website corner was originally just for movies, closer to the "root" of the trope, but i wound up becoming the lesbian vampire guy and seeking out a lot more stuff. for historical purposes, here's some of the old intro text:
my current scope is just movies (and that's already a lot), but we'll see how things evolve.
yeah.
