In the heart of Styria the Karnstein Family, even after their mortal deaths, rise from their tombs spreading evil in the countryside in their lust for fresh blood. Baron Hartog whose family are all victims of Karnstein vampirism, opens their graves and drives a stake through their diabolical hearts. One grave he cannot locate is that of the legendary beautiful Mircalla Karnstein. Years of peace follow that grisly night until Mircalla reappears to avenge her family’s decimation and satisfy her desire for blood.

This turned out to be the last movie for us for Music Box Massacre. We were all losing steam, and the seats around us were littered with sleeping horror fans. Pretty happy I made it through this and up to 6 am, but the reality of having to get home and get my kids ready for their final lacrosse game of the season set in.
The Vampire Lovers is based on the great vampire story ‘Carmilla’ by Sheridan Le Fanu, one of my favorites of the genre. This is a seedier take on the story, making explicit some of the implied lesbian eroticism of the story. You’ll get no argument out of me for the movie heading in that direction!
