1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Why did Carmilla attempt to spirit a dying Emma away to Castle Karnstein's ruins? Was it a bid to preserve her intended victim for future feeding, now waxing scrutiny and Renton's murder had made a longer sojourn at Emma's estate untenable? Or might she have been genuinely in love with Emma, perhaps even plotting to turn her into a vampire?
2* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The picture is known as the definitive LesbianVampire film and turned Creator/IngridPitt into a British sex symbol in TheSeventies.
3* FirstInstallmentWins: Widely seen as the most well-remembered of the "Karnstein Trilogy", the film's loose sequels, ''Film/LustForAVampire'' and ''Film/TwinsOfEvil'', are widely regarded as inferior.
4* HilariousInHindsight: One of the General's guest at the party is wearing a uniform similar in design and color scheme to the costume that [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers would wear as the Captain]] and John Walker would wear as U.S.Agent
5* JerkassWoobie: Throughout the film, Mircalla preys on several innocent people, and shows a willingness to dispose of others once they have outlived their usefulness to her. However, depending on how charitably one assesses her motivations, and specifically whether or not she had genuine love for Emma, she could be seen as a closeted lesbian who can ultimately never have romantic female companionship due to her vampiric condition, and due to it not being socially acceptable at the time. See TragicMonster on the main page.
6* JustHereForGodzilla: Ties in with BestKnownForTheFanservice above, but the main draw of the film is to see [[MsFanservice Ingrid Pitt get naked]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot engage in some light lesbian activity]]. The filmmakers themselves seemed to be fully aware of this, and made use of it in their promotion for the film.
