| Abstract | (1) The Prophecy, the Hellmouth, The Brethren of Aurelius, The Master, The “Anointed” One, the “Chosen” One, a vampire with a soul—the very language used in Buffy the Vampire Slayer suggests an adherence to a conception of the vampire defined by superstition and tradition. Given the changes within the vampire genre in recent years with modern hybrid films such as Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark (1987), Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys (1985) and Steve Norrington’s Blade (1998), it is interesting to note that Joss Whedon’s vampires seem to mark a return to a pre-modern representation of vampirism. |
