    • Trivia
      Notably similar to the story Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu in which a female seduces a teenage girl. Towards the end of the film Lemora indicates that she has had many names.
    • Goofs
      When Lila is first taken into the house by Lemora, she is told to go upstairs to her room. Lemora says "It is the first open door at the end of the hall." But when Lila goes upstairs ALL of the doors are closed.
    • Quotes

      Lemora: The girl is around here somewhere. If you let her escape, or allow them to get to her before you do, I'll make you wish you *could* die.

    Lesbian Vampire tries to induct young girl into her coven.
    Scary repeated showings on Thing Theater in Chicago during the 70's did their damage to me. Vampirism, lesbianism, witchcraft all done in that plodding, atmospheric 70's way. Eerie.
