Catherine Verdoux

Catherine Verdoux is a plot twist villainess from Tales From the Crypt Presents:  Bordello of Blood.

She was played by Erika Eleniak.

Catherine Verdoux is the religious sister of Caleb Verdoux, who she reports missing. She works with private detective Rafe Guttman to search for him, only for both of them to find that Caleb became a vampire after he and his friend, Reggie, visited Lilith's vampire brothel. Catherine is later held captive by Lilith, but she is saved by Rafe, and in the film's climax, Catherine engaged in a final showdown with Lilith, ending with the vampiress killed by Catherine.

Catherine turned heel at the end of the film when she revealed that she became a vampiress herself. Catherine's heel persona was hinted during the final scenes when she suddenly flirted with Rafe after being disgusted with him throughout the film. When the pair make out in her car, Rafe lifted up Catherine's skirt, revealing bite marks on Catherine's left thigh--showing that Lilith turned her while she was held captive. At that moment, the evil Catherine flashed her vampire fangs, and the film ends with the vampiress attacking Rafe and biting his neck.
