Early 2000's erotic horror. First time ever on blu-ray. Violet hungers for sexual pleasure as much as blood, luring both men and women into her web.

Violet is a vampire who hungers for sexual pleasure as much as her victim's blood. By night she prowls the city, luring both men and women into her web of lust and murder. Her latest unsuspecting prey, Chuck, is a lonely young man she meets in a smoky bar and draws into her orbit with a mix of charm, sensuality, and mystery. But what begins as flirtation soon becomes a hypnotic seduction--leading him straight into her bed and trapped in her world of erotic indulgence and eternal hunger.


Produced during the booming heyday of the shot-on-video era, Date with a Vampire captures a unique moment when softcore erotica and horror overlapped on the shelves of late-1990s and early-2000s video stores. Directed by Jeffrey Arsenault (creator of the cult vampire favorite Night Owl), written by prolific filmmaker Kevin J. Lindenmuth (Addicted to Murder), and featuring an appearance by cult east coast horror actor Joe Zaso (5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas), together they craft a stylish, lo-fi vampire tale that perfectly captures the raw, experimental creativity of New York's no-budget horror scene of the time.
First time ever on blu-ray and includes bonus SOV erotic horror film Blood Craving (2002).
