    THE ORIGINAL BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

    by RONRYAN

    Even though it is technically poor, for me it is a cult classic. I liked it so much that I would not watch the series for 5 years, because I didn't think they could find anyone as good to play Buffy. Blonde valley girl with the funky lingo is a superhero that hunts vampires. What could be better than that?
