vampire film

Blockbuster film studio Warner Bros. is reportedly working on a remake of the classic vampire film The Hunger. The original film, based on the book by Whitley Strieber, featured Catherine Deneuve as a bisexual vampire and is widely regarded as a lesbian cult classic.

A film with the title Lesbian Vampire Killers is bound to be outrageously terrible. It also happens to be pretty damned funny - and kind of hot. A town is cursed by the evil lesbian vampire queen Carmilla (Silvia Colloca). When the sweet, innocent girls of the town are doomed to be sexy, rabid vampires who like to snack on other ladies. The lesbian vamps' terrible burden of hotness can only be cured by a descendent of Camilla.

Twilight, True Blood, Vampire Diaries… Vampires are all the rage in the entertainment world right now, but the obsession is hardly a new phenomenon. One theme consistently interwoven into the stories of bewitching blood-suckers is the titillating and torrid portrayal of the lesbian vampire. From Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve to Evan Rachel Wood, a brief history of vamps.

Vampires and lesbians are hot right now, especially with Evan Rachel Wood starring as one on True Blood but when the cheesy spoof horror flick Lesbian Vampire Killers landed in stores last week, some of them hit shelves missing a word from the title. In a rather bizarre case of purely silly -- and likely homophobic-- censorship, family retail chains like Borders, Walmart-owned Asda and the UK's Tesco and Sainsbury have censored the word with 'lesbian,' covering it with a sticker.

Alan Ball and his writing and producing team for HBO’s True Bloodtalked gay and lesbian undertones, spoilers and why pop culture is currently obsessed with vampires Wednesday night during a Paley Center for Media panel in Beverly Hills.

The star of neo-grindhouse western film "Dust Up" dishes about going indie, literary passions, and her groundbreaking role as a lesbian witch on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Deborah Stewart has played in some of your favorite shows and lesbian films and you may or may not have put two and two together, but when you see the hot detective chick or the sexy doctor performing her bedside manner on an unsuspecting adorable woman or the cop that just won’t take no for an answer, well, there’s a very real possibility that it’s Deborah you’re watching. Her films range from Love is Love (2007) with Glee’s favorite powerhouse and ex-L Word actress Jane Lynch to The Seer (2008) and a brand-new, unreleased film starring Deborah and…lesbian vampires? Yes, yes…lesbian vampires. Now I know you’re interested.

Alyson Hannigan, who ruled 90s airwaves as lesbian superwitch Willow Rosenberg on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the infamous Band Camp veteran Michelle Flaherty in the American Pie films, spoke fondly of the lesbian fans she hopes she's acquired in an interview with HuffPost Live.

Rejoice, Kristen Stewart fans, "Eclipse" has come to theaters, and I am happy to report that not only is Kristen as abundant as ever, but the film actually carries itself quite nicely. For those of you who been living under a rock the past couple years, "Eclipse" is the third film in the "Twilight" Saga, which tells the story of Bella Swan, an ordinary human madly in love with sexy vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen.

The frenzy that is Hollywood casting and coordinating production schedules has forced a shift in a key role in Eclipse, the third film in the Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Bryce Dallas Howard has replaced Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria, the evil vampire Victoria, who in the third installment continues her quest to avenge the death of her vampire partner James by killing Stewart’s Bella, whose boyfriend Edward (Robert Pattinson) turned James to dust.

Current TV asked Alonso Duralde, a man who's literally written a book on gay cinema, to do a little lesson on the history of lesbians in film in three minutes or less. Duralde explains how indie movies like 1985's "Desert Hearts" eventually expanded the portrayal of lesbian characters in American movies beyond double-crossing, homicidal vampires. 

The Amazing Amazon has been grabbing headlines since the announcement that Warner Bros. Television commissioned David E. Kelley to pen the pilot script for a possible new Wonder Woman tv series.  Excitement was high after the initial announcement and Wonder Woman began trending almost immediately on Yahoo. After several attempts to launch feature film adaptations of the Amazon Princess failed, including one by Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss Whedon, fans rejoiced to hear that she could be making a triumphant return to television this fall on NBC. 

At this year’s Comic Con, one of the biggest, buzziest moments was definitely the cast announcement for the upcoming Avengers film. It boasts a helluva lot of big names and one awesome director/writer, Joss Whedon, who’s known for creating some of the past couple decades’ most prominent heroines (Buffy the Vampire Slayer,  Dollhouse’s Echo).
