The lesbian vampire is an old trope, stretching back to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1797-1816 unfinished Epic Poem "Christabel" and the 1872 novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until The '70s, when Hammer Horror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, lesbian vampires have become fairly common, popular particularly with young straight men (probably bisexual men as well) because they add an extra layer of titillation to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.
