LSJ: Hidden Lurker Q

[Biolab]

A ruling/clarification stated that a tapped Vampire can
use SUP Cloak the Gathering.

Can a tapped Vampire use Hidden Lurker as it is also
ruled to function as an Action Modifier ?

The same article that declares it an action modifier also says "Only
usable by an untapped vampire" as part of the card text change to
reflect it being an action modifier. Therefore, no.

It is errata'ed to be an Action Modifier. That errata
also includes appropriate card text:

Hidden Lurker - Action (ob)

* Is an action modifier played by a vampire other than the acting
vampire. Card text: "Usable only by an untapped vampire other than the
acting minion after the acting minion is blocked and combat is over.
Tap this vampire. This vampire now enters combat with the blocking
minion. The first round of combat, the blocking minion cannot use any
strikes. Superior: As above, but with an optional press." [RTR 960530]
