Last Year at Marienbad

4. "Daughters of Darkness" (1971)

As Elizabeth Bathory in "Daughters of Darkness," delectable Delphine Seyrig (of "Last Year at Marienbad" fame) slinks languidly about a largely deserted seaside hotel in haute couture that might have graced Dietrich or Garbo. Her blond hair a ... moreglamorous '20s bob, her lips redder than blood, she wraps her velvety voice around some hapless honeymooners, mesmerizing them as she savors the horrors she visited on the Transylvanian virgins whose blood once kept her young and beautiful. What's most striking about Seyrig's vamp is her breathy delight in new female conquests, her almost-innocent desire to be admired and loved even as she sucks you dry. (Everett Collection)
