The Vampire and the Ballerina

aka L’amante del vampiro; The Vampire’s Lover

Poster for The Vampire and the Ballerina

Blood-lusting fiend who preys on girls! Vampire-queen who feeds on lifeblood of men!

The Vampire and the Ballerina (1960) centers on a troupe of young dancers who rehearse in a secluded countryside mansion, unaware of the sinister secret lurking nearby. Their beauty and vitality draw the attention of a vampire and his undead consort, who seek fresh victims to sustain their immortality. Balancing gothic tradition with modern sensuality, the film marked one of Italy’s early steps into blending horror and eroticism.
