13 year old Lila is a gangster's daughter in the 1920s, being raised by a church. Disturbed by the sexual attention she is beginning to attract she runs away to a town called Astaroth where her fugitive father is dying. After surviving a monster attack she meets the pale beautiful Lemora who tends to her but is really the most terrifying creature of all.
Cheryl Smith ( as Lila )
Sex : Lila is bathed and dried by Lemora
Death : Lila becomes a vampire ( unless the whole thing is an erotic daydream )
Cheryl was actually 18 when the film was made and this was her first real film role. Shortly afterwards she adopted the name "Rainbeaux" which she picked up in a music club. She was friendly with The Runaways and recorded an album with her own band The L.A.Girls. Her roles dried up in the early eighties and she turned to heroin. She had two spells in prison for drugs offences where she designed tattoos for other inmates. She died of hepatitis in 2002 aged 47.
Lesley Taplin ( as Lemora )
Sex : Lemora clearly has a lesbian interest in Lila
Death : Survives
This was Lesley's second and final film as she chose a career in film production instead. She died in a car accident in Los Angeles in 2009 aged 62.
