Have you notice how some horror have symbolic sex?
Dracula
searches out a maiden, a virgin. Where does he bit her? In the neck, but he finds her in a bed, at night. She needs protecting, white garlic flowers, a farther or a husband to be.
Then after Dracula bits/has her, she is not the same, of less worth. The man who was defending her now becomes the instrument of her doom. He is told “She is not your sweet love, she is something else, she is already
……but then if you think who wrote it, she was sex mad.
Alien
first smothers the victim and it leaves something behind. That something bursts through the chest, breaking a heart. What does the Alien look like? A prick. Then as it hunts; it attacks driving out a long inner jaw. It hit the chest.
Please take the above as a bite of fun!
Sexual imagery in the horror genre is a long-standing tradition.
There are lots of interesting articles about it:

It's a sex = vulnerability thing, I suspect.
I have to agree that there is something very sexy about vampires and a lot of horror films in general.
I watched 'The Entity' for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it very horny!! (Mr F said I was a bit weird)!
I think it was something to do with the whole vulnerability of it all, her not knowing what was going to happen or when or where ...... it left me wanting an entity of my own!!! lol
is my all time favourite scene from a vampire movie. It doesn't hurt that it has one of my all time favourite pieces of music too. :thumbup:
Who could ever forget the delectable Salma Hayek in Dusk Til Dawn? :twisted:
