made even before dracula, this gothic literature is such a pretty piece about a human and a vampire, both being women. lets goo lesbians
Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
SUCH a good collection, you can buy this from any book store usually! i highly recommend edgar allan poes work
Edgar Allan Poe Collection
I admittedly haven’t read this yet, but the movie and book are both so big within gothic media and definitely paved a way for so many vampire stories, which is always a good thing!!!
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Tim burton has some of the most interesting stories and beautiful art work and i really recommend this
The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories
if you’re more into books with artwork, like comics ect, you will LOVE Emily the strange, you won’t meet any goth that doesn’t adore her
Emily Books
{movies}
i have horrible attention span but almost all of these i could watch for hours
tied as a favourite movie so insanely good and the soundtrack is even better, if you liked dark knight you’ll loooove this
The Crow (1994)
such a gorgeous movie, and everyone loves the headless horseman.
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
one of my all time favourite movies, and im sure you’ll agree if you love vampires, motorbikes and good music
The Lost Boys (1987)
another one of my all time favourites, so good I could go on and on about it, visually stunning and just such a good story, tim burton based it on the experience of growing up autistic.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
do I need to explain this?? Did so much for the goths absolute icon
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
if you havent seen this, get to work
Corpse Bride (2005)
i don’t know a single person that doesn’t enjoy this movie. SO good and my personal favourite version of them. The second movie is my favourite, but this movie is so iconic
The Addams Family (1991)
a childhood fav of mine with such an interesting story
Dark Shadows (2012)
apparently this isn’t an lgbtq movie but it’s hard to believe
Interview with the Vampire (1994)
underrated piece with some amazing visuals
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
more popular, but again such pretty scenery and based on a gothic literature novel
Dracula (1992)
sci-fi half vampire movie what more could you want
Blade (1998)
for those who prefer more long duration storys with the vintage goth style to it, if you liked dracula by bram stoker you will definitely enjoy it
Nosferatu (2024)
less traditional, such a fun movie and so colourful whilst having good music and style
Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
for the witch goths and the whimsigoths
The Craft (1996)
SUCH a good movie and so so well made
Frankenweenie (2012)
such a good story and honestly so meaningful, deserves much more attention and has such interesting relationships
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023)
guillermo del toro always makes movies with the most gorgeous sets and outfits
Crimson Peak (2015)
cannibalism for the musical loving goths
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
if you prefer the 80s, and more unsettling movies
Gothic (1986)
another beautiful guillermo movie based on the original frankenstein book, SUCHH pretty outfits and sets
Frankenstein (2025)
another major role model for the goths
Vampira: The Movie (Video 2006)
tim burton never misses
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
romantic goths unite
The Love Witch (2016)
SUCH a unique movie that deserves much more recognition for the story line and the characters, as well as the costume design
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
of course Lily Munster had to be included
Munster, Go Home! (1966)
as someone that doesn’t like musicals, this has some really good singing and gorgeous outfits
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
{series}
🪦🪦
Incredibly unserious and so funny, while still having a cool story and of course, vampires
What We Do in the Shadows (TV Series 2019–2024)
my second favourite adaption of them, such a good version and one of the first, if you like black and white media this is 100% for you
—————
The Addams Family (TV Series 1964–1966)
Another childhood favourite, but perfect for people that prefer animated media.
Ruby Gloom - All Episodes
if you have kids, raise them on this
Growing Up Creepie (TV Series 2006–2008)
victorian husbands that happen to be vampires, to summarise
