The Vampire Lovers is a Hammer horror movie from 1970. The film is about a sexy vampire, played by Ingrid Pitt, who preys on Emma (Madeline Smith) and other beautiful young women. It is based on the vampire novella Carmilla. The movie is quite daring for its depiction of lesbianism. It's one of my favorite movies done by Hammer Films.

Great pictures! I love Ingrid Pitt.
Yes I'm biased. I like vampires. Lesbian vampires fascinate most of human society in some deep dark place, you think? And who cares if they don't. Great obscure find.
Sick post Keith. Ingrid Pitt makes one hell of a sexy and happening vampire!
I haven't seen this one. Thanks for the heads-up, Keith. I'll definitely check it out.
Vampires AND lesbians?!? Sign me up! I need to see this film.
How have I not seen this film?! I need to see this film!
I've got a bunch of Hammer films on standby right now, eventually when I have some free time I'll start watching them, maybe I'll check this one out.
Love this film Keith Right up my spooky street, Twins of Evil is worth a peep for more of the same

If I was going to have a lesbian vampire come after me, I'd want it to be Ingrid.

How perfect for the season of Halloween! You get the babes and the fright.
Just love those movie posters. The Vampire Lovers made a big impression on me when I caught it at the cinema. While I loved Ingrid, it was Kate O'Mara who was number one in my book. Incredibly sexy and a big hit on UK TV in subsequent years.
Love George Cole and Peter Cushing...Have a good weekend.
Hey Deana. Yeah, it's the perfect combo for the holiday.
