* Since the roll-call of past Magpyrs in ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'' includes as many vampire tropes as possible, it naturally includes Countess Carmilla de Magpyr, who despite the name is a parody of Elizabeth Bathory. The modern Magpyrs however, say she can't have bathed in the blood of 200 virgins because the bath would have overflown. They've checked.

* ''Literature/SnowGlassApples'', a dark reimagining of ''Literature/SnowWhite'', has Snow White be, just like the original Grimm fairy tale, a princess, daughter to an unnamed king and queen. When the queen dies, her father marries a second wife. The story then flips the script entirely: Snow White is a vampire with skin white and cold as snow, who, in the course of the story, seduces other men -- including the Seven Dwarves -- to drink their blood. She kills her own father by drinking his lifeblood and, following the traditional sequence with the poisoned apple, allies herself with a creepy prince to oust her stepmother (who, in reality, is the heroine of the story).

* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven'': Madame Lalaurie is a 19th-century rich socialite who likes to torture her slaves for fun, and use their blood as skin care in order to look younger. Although cursed, she becomes immortal. Even though she ''can'' be intimidated, she still keeps an arrogant (and racist, of course) attitude in her "second" life.
* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryHotel'': The Countess/Elizabeth is an actual vampire, who's the current owner of Hotel Cortez, which is pretty scary, as it's filled with demons and ghosts. She can only sustain herself on blood and uses her elegant and fashionable claws to cut throats. She's also a [[BlackWidow self-widow]], which is mostly how she gained so much money. She has also kidnapped some children and raised them as her own little vampires, playing into the mother role.

The blood heir of former Count of Sylvania, Otto von Drak, Isabella is a powerful vampire ([[UnholyMatrimony she was turned by her husband Vlad von Carstein, who married into the title]]) and her IconicItem on the tabletop is the '''Blood Chalice of Bathory''', an enchanted cup that flows eternally with the blood of her victims, which Isabella can use to heal herself, her husband or her bodyguards. Unlike her husband, Isabella has always been presented as looking eternally young and beautiful, both in the tabletop game and the video game spin-offs.

She can send waves of blood to attack her enemies, teleport between puddles of blood, and attacks her foes with iron maidens. She also heals herself and increases her attack power by bathing in the blood of her victims.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': The villainess Selene is basically a vampire in all but name (she has psychic powers, is immortal), and also has life-draining powers to stay perpetually beautiful. She was born in Transylvania and practices blood magic to become a goddess. She is ''obsessed'' with young girls, has a cabal of underlings, and also wears a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset outfit]], reminiscent of 19th century and former aristocratic fashion. She is also a member of the Hellfire Club, a prestigious community raising her to the upper echelons of society. Sometimes she is stylized as "Lady Selene" and "Black Queen". To further hammer the comparison home, alternate covers for ''ComicBook/XForce2008'' during the ''Necrosha'' event paid homage to posters of vampire movies, and placed Selene in some of them.
