The Essential Vampire Films

BestsellerMagazine.com - CATEGORY Latest news: TITLE

You can always count on Lifetime for a good melodrama, which is exactly what the 1996 movie Mother May I Sleep with Danger? was. The TV film starring Tori Spelling depicts an obsessive relationship between a young man and woman that ends in murder. James Franco has remade the movie . . . with lesbian vampires. It airs on Lifetime tonight at 8/7c.

As cultural critic Judy Berman put it, “Franco’s choice to reimagine a piece of hetero camp detritus as a girl-on-girl love story seems obvious, considering his enthusiasm for trashy tropes and fixation on queer culture. But he’s hardly the only filmmaker keeping the lesbian vampire film, a 70s B-movie staple, alive.”

We decided to go back to some of those B-movies in anticipation of the Lifetime premiere — a stroll through lesbian vampire cinema with its diaphanous nightgowns and bloodthirsty kisses. Here are some of the best movies in the genre.
