Showcasing a guilty pleasure from the turn of the century. Show creator Joss Whedon wondered why horror movies always had to make teenage girls into victims. He created a new mythology for the vampire genre involving a supernaturally strong and capable teenager who, with training and support from her “watcher,” can do battle with vampires and other demons. Buffy the Vampire Slayer,  part “demon of the week,” and part high school soap opera, throws in some screwball comedy along with the overall campiness. A word to the wise: the first three seasons are a blast but the fourth season has both the best and worst episodes of the series – don’t be put off by the bad so much that you miss out on the good. Perhaps Whedon & Company should have stopped after the fifth season (maybe the best one), but they  continued with two more.

The Mechanics’ Institute Library has the first four seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD.

The series also continued after season seven as graphic novels.
