Female vampires once ruled the world. Now they are overlooked for glittering guys with big hair. It's time to point out why the female of the species should be the center of attention.
Todd McFarlane's Spawn was an adult animated series which aired on the HBO premium cable network from 1997-1999 based on the comic book series of the same name. The series followed a man who after death was resurrected as a demon type superhero who collected souls while struggling with memories of his old human life.
In this episode a girl named Lilly shows up in town who seems on the service to be a sweet and innocent girl.
but by the episodes end we find out that not only is she not a sweet an innocent girl but she is in fact a vampire sent to kill Spawn in an effort to repent for her own deeds from when she was alive.
Spawn eventually ends up killing her by exposing her to sunlight during a fight. Unfortunately, this would be her one and only appearance. She would definitely be a character I would like to see more of. Being that she was one and done we don't even get a decent cosplay community for her but at least with the help of AI we can at least draw up what it would look like.
With the final season of the hit HBO vampire series in full swing it means that baby vampire Jessica Hamby is back to her video blog.
The once good church girl who was turned to a vampire by Bill Compton as his punishment for killing a vampire has been vlogging about her transition on an HBO created sub site since she first fangs out on TV (including one which is nothing but her showing her fangs off after she figures out how they work). Check out the banner below to see her vlogs which are updated after every new episode.
Well, at least she didn't go before the opening credits right? As you can see the final season of True Blood is less than a few hours old and we have our first main character offed (in the first 10 minutes no less).
Tara Thornton has been a main stay of the show since episode one as Sookie Stackhouses angry and protective best friend who's spent her entire life with a secret crush on Sookie's brother Jason.
In the first episode of season 5 Tara is turned to a vampire in order to save her life as she was near death after a gunshot to the head. From there her character goes from overprotective best bud to angy slutty lesbian vampire who wants little to do with her old life.
Sadly she died before we could get a good vamp on vamp lesbian scene between her and her maker Pam (who is unaware of what happened as she was out searching for her maker) but none the less that close calls were pretty good. There's a nice tribute to the couple from Youtube below.
Starting today True Blood season 6 is now available on DVD. Has usual HBO releases the previous season on DVD to consicide with the start of the newest season which debuts this Sunday. For a preview of Season 6 check out my update from last year HERE. If you're not familiar with True Blood check out my review of the sexy vampiresses on that show HERE.
We're a little over a month away from the final season of the hit HBO series "True Blood" based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels so as per norm HBO has begun promoting the series which starts it's final episodes on June 22nd via it's website and YouTube (below).
The series final season will have the vampires and humans in a battle for survival against a group of feral zombie vampires infected via compromised synthetic blood.
If you're new to the series check out my female vampire preview HERE.
Here is the official preview for Season 6 of the HBO series "True Blood" which premieres Sunday June 16th @ 9PM Eastern.
A quick recap: The last thing we saw at the end of Season 5 (outside of the super escape attempt of all the main characters from the Vampire Authority headquarters) was a nice make out session between Pam and Tara and you can't really go wrong with vampire lesbianism (at least in my mind you can't).
Outside of that there is that whole thing with Bill being possessed by the spirit of a hot naked vampiress.
and lets not forget that the season starting with Jessica doing this....
In reality season 6 will probably be based around the humans new found hatred for vampires and finding out who "owns" Sookie but as you can see above, the side stuff is normally WAY more interesting than the main story anyway. If you're not familiar with the kind of eye candy there has been on this show check out my rundown HERE. IF you need to catchup with season 5 before the start of Season 6 it's just been released on DVD which you can purchase below.
Tales From the Crypt was a television series which originally aired on the HBO premium cable network from 1989 to 1996. The series was based on the comic book franchise of the same name with most episodes being ripped directly from issues of that among other comics produced by EC Comics in the 1950's. The series was pretty much identicle to the many horror short film format TV show franchises that came before it like the Twilight Zone, Tales from the Darkside, Night Gallery etc with the only seperating factor between this franchise and those others being that its episodes were a lot more adult themed being that HBO is a pay to watch network thus no censors so foul language, nudity, and violence was definitely not avoided.
In the shows seven year run there were only three vampire related episodes and only two contained female vampires (The 7th episode of the 3rd season titled "The Reluctant Vampire" was about a vampire night watchman who didn't feed on humans but was being hunted as his employer at the blood bank he guarded suspected what he was). Toward the end of the shows run they began plans to move into making theatrical releases with the first in the series being 1995s "Demon Nights". The films would follow the same format of the show but unlike the stories on the series they would relate to one another (instead of stand alone stories). The component that ended up tying two of the films together (the third film titled "Ritual" released in 2001 does not tie to the previous two) is an artifact called "The Key". In 1996 the franchise released their second full length theatrical feature "Bordello of Blood" which revolved completely around female vampires. Unfortunately it bombed at the box office much in part (at least in my opinion) to the casting of not very funny comedian Dennis Miller as the leading man who would go on to regularly bash the movie while he was supposed to be promoting it even though he himself was probably the worst part of it but we'll get to that in a bit. (WARNING: being that the shows format is completely based on twist endings EVERYTHING BELOW IS A SPOILER)
Vampiress Cast
Grace Zabriskie (Mrs Colbert: Season 2, Episode 18 "The Secret")
In this episode a young orphan named Theordore is adopted by a rich couple. While with them he develops a close bond with their butler "Tobias" who eventually becomes protective of the young man who reminds him of himself since he at one time was an orphan. This relationship works out great for Theodore because the Colberts have a secret, they are really vampires and plan on feeding off of him. (side note: this is a great episode which from what I hear is not aired in syndication which is sad as their is a MAJOR plot twist beyond the vampire plot which gets the viewer extremely vested in the outcome).
I know I couldn't be the only person who thought that Mrs Ellen Griswald from the National Lampoon Vacation films was unbelievably hot so when this episode which has her as a seductive countess/socialite/musician showed up it automatically became one of my favorite all time episodes. In it former James Bond actor Timothy Dalton stars as a werewolf hunter who comes to protect the residents of a remote hotel when rumors are reported of one being in the area. The twist... It was all a trap to lour Daltons character Lokai out by D'Angelo aka Ms. Baird as she knows that his secret is that HE in fact is a werewolf and she just happens to be a vampire who feeds on them.
Tales From the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood
Angie Everheart (Lilith: "Tales From the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood)
Ever since the term was introduced in the 1970's male fang bangers always wondered what would happen if a Supermodel became a vampire. (A supermodel is basically a term for a runway model who becomes so famous that they achieve celebrity status). Everheart IS the most famous redheaded model ever and she fit the role of vampire bordello madam Lilith just as perfectly as she fit the clothes she wore down the runways of Paris. She was sexy, seductive and slutty in an extremely evil way (my favorite scene being her trying to seduce Rafe (Dennis Miller) by living out different fantasies including a sexy cheerleader). As I said above, replace Dennis Miller with a better actor who could have played off of her character with anything other than over thought out sarcastic jokes from his stand up routine and this movie is a lot better than it ended up being.
Kiara Hunter (Tamara: "Tales From the Crypt presents: "Bordello of Blood")
While there were a lot of female vampire prostitutes in this film (and I mean A LOT!!!!). Tammy was special (at least special enough that she gets a lot of screen time for whatever reason). We first see her in a scene where Rafe sneaks into the funeral parler/bordello for clues on the whereabouts of the younger brother of his client. He is not caught because Lilith is busy at the time interviewing Tammy who has applied to be the bordello's newest employee (yes, there apparently is an interview process to determine if you're qualified to have sex for money). After awhile you hear a scream from the office (obviously alluding that she got the job). The next time we see her she happens to be the female who meets Rafe when he officially gets his turn in the Bordello. That's when we find outshe's in to S&M. Rafe eventually tricks her, ties her up and escapes. Our last visit with Tammy is when Rafe is recovering in a hospital while being held by police. She walks in dressed as a nurse and excuses the officer in charge of guarding the room by sucking him dry in an attempt to kill Rafe. Unfortunately this all happens during the day so all he has to do is expose her untreated back to a window and she fries like an egg. In retrospect she was a horrible vampire lacky who was easily tricked by the smallest distraction.
Erika Elaniak (Katherine Vourdeoux: "Tales From the Crypt presents: Bordello of Blood")
The former Playboy Playmate and Baywatch Babe stars as the uptight producer of a christian televangelist TV program who hires Dennis Miller to find her brother who was last seen at the bordello. Rafe falls for her immediately but she wants absolutely nothing to do with him romantically as she is a very moralistic person and he is the very opposite. That is until the very end of the film as they take the severed heart of Lilith away she seems to let her guard down and finally starts to gives in to his "charms". At least that's what it looks like until in the middle of a makeout session he stops to ask her what kind of perfume she's wearing. Just then we see him lift her skirt to reveal two puncture marks on her upper thigh (forcing us to remember Lilith stating earlier in the film while holding Katherine prisoner that she doesn't like biting women on the neck). She then lets Rafe know that it's not perfume and that it's sunblock followed by her sprouting a set of fangs and sucking the life out of him. Unfortunately the character "Rafe's" death happens an hour and 19 minutes too late to save the movie from his annoying on screen persona. If only they had cast Corey Feldman as Rafe instead of giving him a supporting role (which he was awesome at by the way).
Based on the "Sookie Stackhouse" novels, True Blood is a series that aired on the HBO network in the United States from 2008 to 2014. It follows the life of a young girl with special powers who lives in rural Louisiana in a world where vampires have revealed themselves as real when a doctor creates an artificial blood substitute that provides an alternate solution for them other than killing humans. The blood is sold in stores under the brand name "True Blood". When Sookie meets a vampire named Bill Compton, her once simple life gets turned upside down and she becomes a major player in many supernatural wars. Now....On to the vamps...
Diane
Played by Aunjanue Ellis, Diane is the first female vamp to appear in the shows first season. Looking like she is still in the 1970's she came to Bon Temp with two other vampires in an attempt to track down their friend Bill Compton and seemingly mooch off of him for a bit. Unfortunately for her she happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and became a victim of the vampire serial killer which the first season was based on.
Taryn
Played by Katelin Chesna Henke Taryn, though a bit character is important as she is the first vampiress to feed on the show. Unfortunately for her she did it in a bathroom in a bar owned by the sheriff or her parish. Hopefully the fat bald guy was worth the meal as her appearance in the season 1 episode "Escape from the Dragon House" didn't end well due to Sookie's psychic powers.
Pam De Beaufort
Played by Kristin Bauer, Pam is second in command of the Louisiana parish which the show takes place and also the manager of the "Fangtasia" bar owned by the sheriff of the parish Eric Northman. Pam is kind of like the muscle of the two but in a really lazy sort of way. A former prostitute, she'd much prefer to do odd sexual things to other women (since all vampires seem to be gay or at least bi-sexual on this show) than lift a finger to do anything else. That leaves her screen time to either be really sexy or her seeming to be really annoyed. As of season 5 she is the vampire mother/lover of Tara Thornton
Jessica Hamby
Played by Deborah Ann Woll, Jessica was an innocent bi-standard who was turned into a vampire by Bill Compton who was forced to do it as a punishment for killing another vampire in order to save Sookie. Prior to her turn she was a preachers daughter who was VERY innocent with the worst thing she ever did being staying up after curfew the night she got turned. Once she found out she was a vampire she kind of went overboard (a good thing for fang lovers) as she felt she could do whatever she wanted and was very rebellious. Eventually she calms down with the help of Bill and Sookie and most of her time is spent learning both the ways of regular life (such as dating and sex) and vampire life at the same time which she documents in her online video diary entries. One of my favorite scenes mixes the two which you can view HERE. The best thing to happen to the show was the growth of her sexual appetite which lead to her learning how to seduce guys in their dreams via them drinking her blood. GOOD LORD was this guy lucky!
Sophie-Anne Leclerq
Queen Sophie Anne (played by Evan Rachel Wood) was the supreme ruler of the vampires of Louisiana. Though extremely old in vampire years she was very young when turned and very much acts as young as she looks. She spends her time surrounded by half naked human "playthings" and as was eventually revealed was secretly running a vampire blood drug ring behind the backs of the vampire league (vampire blood has hallucinogen type properties and is considered an illegal drug). The reason she was doing this was that she was near broke. Eventually she gets in deep trouble and is blackmailed to marry the eccentric (and VERY gay) vampire King of Mississippi. Unfortunately her reign comes to a violent end when she is assassinated by the American Vampire League who comes into play when her drug ring and blackmail leads to a lot of public relations issue's for them(like the Vampire King of Mississippi going on a killing spree including taking out members of the league).
Lorena Krasiki
Played by Mariana Klaveno, Lorena is the very very VERY clingy vampire who created Bill Compton. I mean, in reality if you were going to have a female who is totally obsessed with you to the point that she follows you for centuries, attempts to kill any female you're interested in and locks you in rooms for super rough sex any time you're in the same zip code (which is pretty often considering that whole "following you" part) you could do much worse than her but I can see how it could get old being that this has been going on since the Civil War. Lucky for Bill, Lorena's time finally came to an end after she was assigned to torture him to death (which somehow she hated and enjoyed at the same time) at the hands of Sookie. She was one sick cookie.
Nan Flanagan
The MILFy goodness and head spokesperson of the American Vampire League, Ms. Flanagan was played by Jessica Tuck. In the first two seasons of True Blood she was a background character literally as she was only seen on television news shows in the background of scenes defending vampires to "conservative human purists". In season 3 she makes her first "Real" appearance as she meets up with Eric at Fangtasia to discuss the problem of the magister disappearing and the King of Mississippi going on a murdering spree. That's also where we find out that her "prissy" persona is just an act and she's as perverted and bi-sexual as the rest of them feeding off the upper thigh of a naked woman in the back of her limo. Unfortunately in Season 4, Nan looses her job with the AVL and gets staked by Bill. These shows all need more durable female vamps but it was great while it lasted.
Tara Thornton
Played by Rutina Wesley, it was only a matter of time. Tara has been a part of the show since day one as Sookies best friend and apparently one of the few black people in the entire town of Bon Temp. Even though she should be a side character she would always do something that would bring her to the center of attention whether it be her tragic love life, her laundry list of emotional problems and anger management issues or just the fact that she is the most bad ass chick in the town. During the finale of Season 4 Tara takes a bullet for Sookie. In the Season 5 premiere Sookie along with Tara's cousin Lafayette plead for Pam (who shows up just in time looking for Eric) to turn her and with a bit of bargaining Pam does. From their Tara and Pam have an odd love/hate relationship as both have rough personalities but are horny for each other at the same time. Unfortunately Tara dies from a stake through the heart in the first episode of season 7 only to be seen the rest of the shows run in vampire blood educed hallucinations of her mother and cousin.
Nora Gainesborough
Played by Lucy Griffiths, Nora is the "sister" of Eric Northman in the vampire sense which means she was turned by the same vampire that turned him. That is a positive as their relationship is a lot less "G" rated and a lot more "X" rated. In Season 5 of the series Nora becomes one of the focal points as it's revealed that she is an extremist of an ancient vampire religion who worships the vampiress Lilith and believes that vampires were the ones created in God's image and that humans are for food only. This makes her public enemy #1 to the vampire authority who is trying to maintain peace between humans and vampires (and doing a horrible job of it). Update: Nora meets her "true death" via "Hep V" contamination in the season 6 episode "In the Evening".
Salame Agrippa
Played by Valentina Cervi, Salame is a member of the vampire counsel known frequently as "The Authority" that we are introduced to in the fifth season of the show. During the season a group of vampire religious extremist band together to destroy the truce between humans and vampires. The authority is ripped to shambled when it's found out that these fanatics are being controlled from within the authority itself. Eventually we find out that Salame is the one heading up this group and she takes control of the authority by force. Her method of control is pretty convincing as she uses sex first then force second. I can't imagine why anyone would need plan B but that's why they call it fiction right? Unfortunately she meets her demise at the hands of Bill Compton after both become obsessed with vampire god Lillith.
Molly
The sweet innocent awkward girl from Napolean Dynomite is all grown up and sucking blood. Played by Tina Majorino, Molly was a computer nerd who worked for the Authority. When Salame began going mad with her religious obsession with Lilith she was one of the few vampires in the league to not go along with it. Unfortunately this meant that she would eventually become victim to the very vampire death contraption she developed as a form of punishment for denouncing the vampire religion.
Lilith
Played by Jessica Clark, Lilith is the center of the vampire ancient religion. They believe that she, not Adam or Eve was created in God's image so not only is she supposed to be the first vampire, she is supposed to be the first being period. In the shows fifth season the members of the authority once the religious fanatics take over partake in drinking the blood of Lilith which causes them to go into some sort of weird vampiric acid trip like state. During these situations Lilith often appeared to them very naked and very sexy. Finally, a religion that revolves around worshiping nude women.
Willa Burrell
Played by Amelie Rose Blare, Willa is the young vampire sympathizing daughter of the very anti vampire governor of Louisiana. At least she was up until the fourth episode of Season 6 in which Eric decides to make her his new progeny. His hope being that once the governors own daughter returns to him a vampire he will see all vampires differently and stop the open season he declared for humans against vampires. What Eric didn't count on was that the Governor wasn't the one calling the shots with that designation actually belonging to the former Mrs Sarah Newlin who could care less about things like family loyalty when it comes to vampires.
Violet
Played by Karolina Wydra, Violet is a very old female vamp who has taken on the "Queen of the Mountain" role in the vampire prison camp the main characters are being held in during the shows sixth season. When Jason Stackhouse is thrown into the female population of the prison by Sarah Newlin to get devoured Violet takes a liking to him and declares him as her property thus saving his life. What he didn't count on was that she wasn't doing it to save his life and meant every word she said. This leaves his friends with trying to come up with a way to save Jason from being this vampires forever play thing. In season 7 after she catches Jason having an affair with Jessica Violet looses it (well she was already crazy) and looks to be the final seasons last major villain.
Amber Mills
Played by Natalie Hall, Amber is the estranged sister of Sarah Newlin first introduced in the shows final season. Initially she has lots of hatred for her older sister especially being that she's a vampire dying from the Hep V virus that she helped to create but her mood changes when her sister cures her of the virus in exchange for her help in the episode "Karma".
