Interview With A Vampire: 10 Best LGBTQ+ Vampire TV Shows & Movies
With each subsequent episode of the new series Interview with the Vampire, streaming now on AMC, the series makes it clear how much it wants to bring out the Homosexual elements of Anne Rice’s original novel. In this respect, it is very much in conversation with the 1994 film version starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
However, it also takes its place among the other vampire movies and TV series which have included LGBQ+ themes in one way or another, either in terms of their stories or their general aesthetic. As every horror fan knows, there has long been a connection between the marginalized and the monstrous.

Even though it is rather tame compared to the TV version of the story, there are still some LGBTQ+ elements present in the 1994 film version of Anne Rice’s novel. Among other things, there is a clear and potent chemistry between Tom Cruise’s Lestat and Brad Pitt’s Louis, and they even manage to create their own little family when Lestat transforms the girl Claudia into a ver
Bisexuality in the book
Amid rave reviews, praising the new AMC series for “finally letting the vampires be gay”, the conversation about the show’s treatment of bisexuality is silenced. To describe the show’s take on bisexuality in one word, it is complicated. Simultaneously erased, elevated, trodden down, associated with sinister, seductiveness, villainy, privilege, freedom, and queerness. Laden with loaded meaning, some of the scenes establish a master class in cinematic storytelling through bisexuality, while others are the epitome of classic biphobia.
This is going to be a series of articles in which I show how Interview With the Vampiretakes the source material’s bisexuality and turns it into ambivalent biphobia, by depicting it as simultaneously oppressive and liberatory. I’ll explore pansexual erasure, the meanings given to bisexuality, and explain how these ultimately show bisexuality’s subversive influence against dominant social structures.
Let me begin with a disclaimer.
Just so we’re clarify – this is a great show
Though much complaint is heard from fans of the Anne Rice books for deviating from the original, critics hold bee
Watching TV has never been so difficult. With more shows free in more places than ever, it's easy to lose hours, even days, to the hellscape algorithm of streamers like Netflix, desperately searching for something to watch amongst all the schlock.
It's anything but chill at this point. And when you accomplish finally discover a show worthy of your time, it can be hard to focus without checking your phone and resisting the siren pull of social media. But have no apprehend, help is at hand because I have the answer to all your problems in the form of a show that might sound schlocky, but is actually the best thing you'll watch on screen all year.
I am of course talking about Interview with the Vampire, AMC's horny and extremely gay adaptation of Anne Rice's already horny and already rather gay vampire saga which has returned to the BBC for its second season.
The difference this time around is that every homoerotic tease, every not-so subtle metaphor, is no longer subtext. Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac are now obsessively in love with each other, acting on each based reflection and sinful desire with a ferocious, animalistic relish that threatens to tea
Interview With the Vampire Is the Leading Show Almost Nobody Is Watching
Perhaps no channel better encapsulates what my colleague Sam Adams defined as the cease of Peak TV and the begin of Trough TV like AMC and its neglected streaming arm AMC+, a service that is unfamiliar to virtually everyone I perceive. Gone are the days of Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and even Better Call Saul, which ended two years ago with less fanfare than you would think. Now AMC mainly treats us to an ever-expanding roster—six and counting, by my estimation—of uneven spin-offs of The Walking Dead. Middling zombie IP can only take you so far; where’s the next great demonstrate from the former network titan of prestige programming? The answer is a series that has been here all along and is, in fact, adequately into its second season: Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire.
AMC’s adaptation of Rice’s popular 1976 gothic horror-romance novel starts with a journalist. After an encounter gone nearby fatally wrong half a century prior, cynical Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) sits down for another interview with the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), formerly a gay Ebony Creole human bloke who suffered a toxic relat
