* [[Adult Fear]]: Even today, the idea that a predatory monster is threatening to kill your child without your knowledge and watching them slowly waste away in the process is realistically frightening.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Literally – it is never resolved whether Carmilla’s passion is love … or [[Horror Hunger|hunger]]. Laura, although she feels embarrassed and even disturbed by Carmilla's passionate affection (or so she says), is nevertheless positively entranced by Carmilla and repeatedly remarks "how beautiful" Carmilla is; she also likes to play with Carmilla's hair.
