The Rape of the Vampire

A surreal, psychedelic dive into vampire lore that blurs the lines between horror, erotica, and avant-garde cinema from the late '60s European underground.

• An acid-tinged, hallucinatory take on vampirism that predates and arguably informs the erotic horror wave of the 1970s.
• Less about traditional scares, more a fever dream exploring repression, desire, and identity through a queer subtext.
• Fans of Jean Rollin’s languid, erotic vampire tales will find a similarly hypnotic, if rougher, cult artifact here.
• Not for those expecting polished narrative or conventional horror—this is a fragment of countercultural mood and taboo-breaking atmosphere.
