Fascinated by female vampires? I’ve scoured the Internet to dig up the sexiest, scariest, funniest and weirdest images of lady bloodsuckers. The night gallery below features 230 dazzling paintings, smoking-hot cosplayers, comic book cover art, movie stills and much more. Some of the artwork comes from legendary giants in the fantasy field, others from unknowns toiling in obscurity.
Wherever possible, I have credited the artist. One of my pet peeves is that people routinely post images on Pinterest and social media ostensibly celebrating artists–but without acknowledging them by name. In many cases, I had to use Google’s reverse image search to identify the source.
Please leave comments about which images you find most scintillating, disturbing, beautiful or intriguing. If you have additional information on a picture or would like to correct a gaffe, kindly share. And if you dig a piece, do visit the creator’s DeviantArt page or website to check out other work. If you are the artist or copywriter holder and don’t want the image displayed here, let me know and it will be removed. Plus, of course, feel free to suggest an addition to the gallery in the comment section.

HUNGRY FOR EVEN MORE FEMALE VAMPIRES?
CHECK OUT THIS EXCITING GRAPHIC NOVEL!
In the graphic novel Night Cage, vampires slowly take over a women’s prison. Imagine ‘Salem’s Lot meets Orange is the New Black.
Who is the sexiest female vampire ever to grace the screen? Salma Hayek, hands down? Let’s not rush to judgment. Before voting in the poll below, take a gander at this bevy of bodacious, bloodsucking beauties:
SALMA HAYEK as Satánico Pandemónium in “From Dusk till Dawn.”
caption id=”attachment_2134″ align=”aligncenter” width=”200″] KATE BECKINSALE as Selene in “Underworld.”[/caption]
JULIE BENZ as Darla in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
JOSIE MARAN as Marishka in “Van Helsing” is quite fetching when she’s not buzzing peasants in her harpy form.
DEBRA ANN WOLL as Jessica Hamby in “True Blood.”
JENNIFER BEALS as Rachel in “Vampire’s Kiss.”
JAMIE GERTZ as Star in “The Lost Boys.”
RHONA MITRA as Sonja in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans”
[
Doomed Sharon Tate as Sarah Shagan in “The Fearless Vampire Killers.”
KRISTINNA LOKEN as Rayne in “Bloodrayne.”
NIKKI REED as Rosalie in “Twilight: Eclipse.”
BRITT NICHOLS as Luisa Karlstein in “Dracula’s Daughter.”
ANGIE EVERHART as Lillith in “Bordello of Blood.”
ANGELA BASSETT as Rita Veder in “A Vampire in Brooklyn.”
AALIYAH as Queen Akasha in “Queen of the Damned.”
SHERYL LEE as Katrina in John Carpenter’s “Vampires” can’t bite anyone — as long as 4th Baldwin brother Daniel doesn’t fall for the newly made vamp and untie her.
JENNIFER ESPOSITO as Solina in “Dracula 2000.”
Timeless beauty CATHERINE DENEUVE as Miriam Blaylock in “The Hunger.”
Double trouble! Mary and Madeleine Collinson as Frieda and Maria Gelhorn in “Twins of Evil.”
IZABELLA MIKO as Megan in “Forsaken”
MATHILDA MAY is a psychic vampire from outer space in “Lifesforce.”
ANNE PARILLAUD as Marie in “Innocent Blood.” It’s a horror-comedy (Don Rickles is one of the vampires). But in this steamy sequence her cop boyfriend handcuffs her before lovemaking as a precaution — and she snaps them in the heat of the moment!
VERA FILATOVA (on top) as Eva in “Lesbian Vampire Killers.”
NATASSIA MALTE takes over the title role in “Bloodrayne 2.”
NATASSIA MALTE takes over as Rayne in “Bloodrayne 2.”
JENNY WRIGHT as Mae in “Near Dark.”
Did I miss a spot? EVAN RACHEL WOOD as Sophie-Anne LeClerq in “True Blood.”
AMANDA DONOHUE as Lady Sylvia Marsh in “Lair of the White Worm” has a penchant for sipping blood and violating virgins with a gianormous strap-on.
SOLEDAD MIRANDA as Condesa Oskudar in “Vampyros Lesbos.”
In this cheesy and unflattering costume TALISA SOTO hardly does justice to a comic book character known for her epic curves in “Vampirella.”
Okay, to be fair, here is TALISA SOTO again, just to show producers weren’t crazy when they cast her as Vampirella.
RACHELLE LEFEVRE as in Victoria in “Twilight.”
PHINA ORUCHE as Cym in “Forsaken.”
KRISTIN BAUER as Pam De Beaufort in “True Blood.”
