Buffy The Vampire Slayer

THE curtains billow into the room as a shadowy figure jumps through the window. On the bed, Emma Totham stirs, dressed only in a sexy silk negligee.

The ’stranger’ creeps closer, sweeping out his cape behind him.

Suddenly, the man jumps on the helpless woman. "I want to suck your blood," he rasps through fanged teeth. The pair become a tangle of limbs as he pins her to the bed.

But Emma isn’t fighting off a supernatural intruder. She’s invited Count Dracula into her bedroom, and is begging him to nibble on her neck...

Emma and her bloke, Kevin Travers, 35, love playing vampires between the sheets.

"We act out scenes from old horror movies," Emma, 23, explains. "You get such a thrill from being jumped on by a sexy guy in a cape."

The pair realised their dark, Gothic fantasies at a Halloween party, and now dress up whenever they’re in the mood.

"It’s so exciting," Emma says. "We don’t suck blood, or have sex in coffins, but I adore love bites. I’m batty about vampire sex."

And as Halloween approaches, there are plenty of ladies getting hot on horror...

THE PRETENDERS

"I love my bloke’s dark side"

Two witches danced together as I took a sip of the red liquid in my glass, and turned to my fella, Kevin Travers.

"You’re looking sexy tonight," I hissed through my fangs, as my eyes swept over his black cape.

We were at a Halloween party, and had both gone as vampires. I couldn’t keep my eyes off him.

Fang-tastic ... Emma and Kevin have a saucy dark side

Fang-tastic ... Emma and Kevin have a saucy dark side

"You don’t look too bad, either," he grinned back. As his arm snaked round my waist, a flicker of excitement exploded in my tummy.

Seeing my sweet boyfriend with fangs and an evil glint in his eye was a turn-on.

"Let’s go home," I whispered urgently, grabbing our coats. At home, we went straight up to bed.

"That feels amazing," I groaned, as Kevin, 35, nibbled my neck. His fangs made my skin tingle – it was the best sex we’d had for ages.

And since that first vampire experience, we don’t wait for Halloween to get dressed up.

Sometimes, we watch films such as Interview With a Vampire, or an old black-and-white horror flick, and kiss in front of the movie.

And we like to unleash our dark sides, too. Kevin puts on his cape and creeps up on me as I lie in bed.

Seeing him loom over me in the dark sends my pulse racing. I know there are people who live like vampires, but I couldn’t give up garlic bread, or sleep in a coffin.

Instead, I live out my Gothic fantasy with my man whenever the dark mood takes us.

This Halloween, we’ll get frisky in our capes. Vamping it up in the bedroom gives our sex life a boost. There’s nothing like it.

THE SLAYERS

"I’m Buffy the vampire lover"

Karen Crane, 23, is a residential support worker from Birmingham.

The television flickered into action and an attractive girl lunged her way on to my screen, flicking her ponytail while wielding a huge stake.

"Take that," Buffy Summers cried, grabbing the vampire and turning him into dust. My boyfriend, Anthony Smith, shivered next to me.

"She’s hot," he whispered in my ear. "Just like you!"

Goosebumps prickled all over me as his hot breath tingled down my neck. We were watching the hit series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Anthony, 25, loved seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar battle evil forces in her leather trousers.

And I wasn’t complaining. I got to ogle Angel, her on-screen vampire lover, played by super-fit David Boreanaz.

Me and Anthony, an insurance salesman, had been together for more than two years. I fell for his dark looks.

Usually, I’d be a bit creeped out by bloodsucking vampires, but Buffy and Angel were something else.

As the credits rolled, we grinned. "Shall we try a bit of Buffy role play?" we said at the same time, before collapsing in giggles.

Role call ... Karen and Anthony dress as Buffy and Angel

On sale now ... for great real life stories

We found the show so sexy, it seemed natural to bring the slayer between the sheets.

I went shopping for a tight black dress for me, and a long leather jacket for Anthony, so he could dress up as Angel.

After stopping off at a fancy-dress shop for a plastic stake, I had everything we needed for our role play.

Nerves jiggled in my tummy as I slipped into my outfit and tied my hair back like Buffy.

"Ready to meet your slayer?" I called to Anthony, who was already dressed as Angel and sprawled on the bed.

He smiled as I pounced on him, wrestling him under the duvet, wielding my stake. We stripped off our outfits, and as we made love, I had a mind-blowing orgasm.

On the show, Angel and Buffy can only kiss and cuddle because a parallel universe is opened if a vampire and mortal have sex.

But for me and Anthony, vampire sex has given our supercharged love life a toe-curling boost.
