There is obviously both an adolescent market and an adult market for erotic horror. (Bloody Erotic Stories is a recent entry here. And thanks for sharing your original work, swingingpuss!) Actually, all horror is erotic in the sense that it is thrilling, exciting, and arousing to the senses. When sexual and pseudo-sexual themes are involved, the erotic impact is doubled. ]]>

Mathew Lewis's Monk could easily contest for that title. What say you Aaman? ]]>

One of the most erotic scenes from a film, for me at least, is from a forgettable film that is not even in IMDB "The Sunset of The Vampires". This scene captures the sensuality and danger of the vampire - the lead vampire, one of the last of the breed is desirous of converting the wife of a human friend. Close to the end of the film, she resists him vigorously, but then abruptly gives in, and breathily whispers "Shane, take me now." He does so, and inevitably, the good guys arrive just a little too late, do the good stuff with him, after he's done other good stuff of course. So Bram Stoker's Dracula is the President of Erotic Horror, eh? ]]>

Bram Stoker's Dracula had set the precedent of Erotic horror. And to be eternally live is reason enough for me to want to put a stack through my heart. ]]>

nice and strange, thanks! I think the eroticism is tied in with the dichotomy of the vampire's bite being both seduction and attack ]]>

Perhaps our culture's neurotic dread of aging leads many of us to deem vampires erotic. We seem to have dropped the old traditional image of shriveled, desiccated vampires, favoring instead the relatively new idea that a bloodsucking parasitical lifestyle renders its indulgers eternally youthful and beautiful. I'm only guessing, though. Vampires hold less and less of my interest as I grow older. In fact it now strikes me that vampires are not much different from zombies. I mean, sure, zombies don't have much in the way of intellect, but what good is a vampire's fully functional immortal brain when all they ever seem to use it for is an eternity of self-involved brooding? If that was all I had to look forward to, I just might be tempted to drive a stake through my own heart and have done with it. ]]>

Vampires are always erotic, innit? Perhaps they express some sort of archetype ]]>
