Vampire Rave - The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory - http://www/VampireRave.com

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is noted for his ghost stories, but he is also remembered for his novella "Carmilla." Published in 1872, it tells of a lonely English girl who meets a beautiful aristocratic vampiress in an isolated castle. But there's as much of the banshee and the lianhan sidhe (although with lesbian rather than heterosexual orientation) in "Carmilla" as there is eastern European vampiric influence. And, according to Richard Davenport-Hines in GOTHIC: FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OF EXCESS, HORROR, EVIL AND RUIN, "Carmilla" is also a political allegory; its setting somewhere in the Austro-Hugarian empire a substitute for 19th century Ireland. The English narrator, Laura, and her father live an isolated existence that parallels that of the Anglo-Irish gentry of the period. They live near "a ruined village" that resembles the results of Irish depopulation after the great famine of 1845-49. The extinct "proud family of Karnstein" is a parallel for the extinction of much of the Irish peerage after the Act of Union of 1800. After 1800, no new Irish peerage could be created without the extinction of three old ones, thus the aristocracy was "only able to regenerate by a sort of legalistic vampirism." Carmilla, an undead member of the otherwise defunct Karnsteins, "[l]ike the Irish peerage...needs extinctions to revive." The three young women who expire in the story equate with the "three Irish peerages required before a new one can come alive."

Ok, its interesting, but what is the point of the thread, do you want to argue it or just inform.

Please deffine the thread.

And just to let you know i deleted about 12 replies to this thread that were all along the lines of;


"Sounds interesting"

"Ill have to have a look".


Please refrain for posting a reply unless you have something to contribute to a thread, there is nothing wrong with reading a thread and not replying.

I was adding another story to tie into the first thread I had posted Named “Old Vampire Tales”. It is mainly a informative thread, with hopes that others would post some other interesting stories.

I’m sorry I failed to mention this in the beginning of this thread.

I actually have never heard of “Carmilla”movie. I looked it up, and there seems to be a few movies made based on his book. I am going to have to check them out. Thank you for pointing out that there was a movie.

The one I saw was made in the late 60's I think... I remember watching it as a teenager and thinking "Thoes girls are having WAY too much fun with eachother!"

I am not sure about any of the other versions though...

I found reference to at least 12 movies based on the Carmilla story as well as three made for tv adaptations and two comic book limited run series.

Read the story years ago and knew there were a few movies based on it, but not as many as I am finding now that I am looking it up lol. I am sure there are a lot more then these out there.
