carmilla - cheri cheri lady - Video

'to know you is to love you'
/
'the vampire lovers' is one of my favourite films of all time. while it is very 'male-gazey' at the minimum and actively demonising lesbianism at its worst, it is a beautifully shot and atmospheric film with some of Hammer Horror's best and regardless of whatever the intentions I feel it is a very important film for lesbian representation. I fell so in love with Ingrid Pitt at the tender age of 13 and was blessed enough to get a photo of her in her ball outfit signed. I cried and cried for hours the day she passed away. But much like Carmilla, she will be immortal thanks to film and the intensity of her presence that is impossible to ignore.

This was just a short little tribute to Carmilla/Ingrid and her beauty and mystery. I found this song via TikTok (shameful I know) and I felt the weirdly gothic and romantic aura would suit her well.
