Buffy and The Vampire Diaries are two amazing shows that deal with vampires in different ways

When The Vampire Diaries premiered back in 2009, it came right at the height of the vampire craze that kind of swept up the world. At first glance, it looked like just another teen drama in the same vein as Twilight. A closer look revealed that, while high in teen drama, this was also a series that paid respect to vampire lore, featured strong characters, and plenty of twists.
