\u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d was not a big success when it came out in 1992, but over the years it had gained a loyal crowd thanks to the over-the-top camp humor and its self aware interpretation of the vampire genre.

The fact that the heroine is a blond cheerleader who kills vampires in all sorts of imaginative ways was quite surprising for the early 90\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The huge success of the TV series that followed helped a lot to keep the franchise alive, of course, and despite the very different tone of the TV show, its popularity helped elevate the film\u2019s status as well.<\/p>\n
