Evolution of Vampires Onscreen: Barnabas Collins from 'Dark Shadows' was the blueprint for modern-day vampires
Barnabas Collins serves as the blueprint for most your favorite TV vampires today, including the Salvatore brothers and the sexy vampires from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' (https://meaww.com/evolution-of-vampires-onscreen-barnabas-collins-dark-shadows-blueprint-modern-swoon-worthy-vampires-438619)

I'm posting this link because the forum has many Buffy fans - plus it's the follow up to the Barnabas article -

Evolution of Vampires Onscreen: How 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' changed the genre and its folklore forever
If you grew up in the 90s or the 2000s, there is no denying the impact 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' would have had on you, whether you watched the show or not (https://meaww.com/evolution-of-vampires-onscreen-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-changed-genre-folklore-forever-spike-angel)

- not to mention Barnabas is mentioned more than once...

And as a Buffy fan, can I just say for the umpteenth time how much I love Darla and Drusilla so even if they were the only focus of the article, I would still find some excuse to post the link.  [ghost_wink]
