Last Call - Lesbian Vampires; Trope or Archetype?

6 months ago
15

From Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1871 Gothic novella Carmilla through The Vampire Diaries spin-offs, the very specific trop of the lesbian vampire is fairly ubiquitous. In fact, Hammer Horror used it as a cornerstone upon which to build its original horror catalogue. But is it just titillation and erotic fantasy? Well, certainly it is that. But is there also something more to it? Something part and parcel of what the vampire really represents? We'll explore this and other questions on this special Halloween week edition of Last Call!
