It’s so beautifully done, and respects the vampire creature with both gothic passion and pain. The Hunger is one of my top favorites in all of vampire cinema.
But part of the fun of female vampires is they flaunt sexuality and desire at us, making us face our carnal natures. She’s actually a good guy in this, though still a vampire trying to sustain herself on blood. Now we see the vicious, soulless predator under the skin.Ĭomics are great for capturing the brutality of vampires, and if I was to suggest a comic with a sexy, sultry vampire heroine, I would suggest Vampirella. No longer is she just the broken, crazy doll we see when we first meet her.
FEMALE VAMPIRE COMBAT FULL
When Spike gives her a new lease on life, she shows her fangs in full force. Fans of the show adored this twisted pair, but even on her own, Drusilla is a force to be reckoned with.
FEMALE VAMPIRE COMBAT SERIES
Later in the series we are introduced to an interesting vampire couple: Drusilla and Spike.
They were Buffy’s old faithful, and when she needed to blow off steam or hunt SOMETHING, the vampires were there for her. If you think of it like a glorified music video, it’s a little more fun to put up with.ĭrusilla īuffy was a fun show, and while it had many amazing monsters for our slayer to fight, the vampires were always there.
FEMALE VAMPIRE COMBAT MOVIE
And while I wish they would remake the Queen of the Damned movie so I could see the Queen done proper justice, I will say that the movie isn’t without merit. They are preternatural monsters, especially Akasha, who is the most devoid of humanity. Akasha, as well as the two red-headed twin vampires that haunt her, are some of my favorite female vampires to date. I have read them all, several times over, my favorites being that of the first couple books leading right up to the end of The Queen of the Damned novel. Those that know me know my love of Anne Rice and the vampire chronicles. Only because Ingrid Pitt really brought out the character in a seductive, temperamental way.Īkasha I think my favorite portrayal of her in film is The Vampire Lovers. Her story was first published in a magazine called, “The Dark Blue” in 18. Her first appearance was in literature, where she is done the most justice as a character. It could be because her tale was shorter than Dracula’s. That would certainly make for an interesting roll-reversal story, and some claim there is a chapter missing from the original Dracula that does portray Carmilla visiting him.Īnyhow, Carmilla has been adapted several times for film, but not with the same success rate as Dracula. The wonderful thing about Carmilla is she predates Count Dracula by 25 years! Perhaps Dracula took pointers from the Vamp Queen when he rolled out of his coffin the first time.
Here is my top ten list of sexy sirens of blood: Just don’t under estimate the female vampire, for she can ensnare you with all the powers of Dracula himself. But it’s the blood these vampy women crave more than anything, and they are willing to use whatever tactics they can to get to their precious food sources. Female vampires who are overtly sexualized are both a warning and a lure to the power of darker sexual pleasures. They are closely reminiscent to succubi in that way. Some of my favorite female vampires aren’t even overtly sexual, though a lot of female vampires tend to be. They don’t have as strong a presence in media as male vampires, but when they do they show their fangs. Like the males of the species, they are cunning, beautiful, seductive and blood thirsty. Female vampires are just as deadly as their male counterparts.
