March 10 marked the 25th anniversary of the debut of the cult television phenomenon Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Buffy Summers arrived on the small screen, a follow-up of the somewhat more lackluster 1992 film of the same name, she and her Scooby gang quickly stabbed a special place in fans’ hearts. Now, 25 years later, the show still has a cult appeal and is building a new generation of fans (even if you acknowledge the cheesy special effects, sometimes outdated content, and problematic creator). Buffy, known for its witty dialogue and strong female lead, helped to establish the WB and CW as hubs for teen drama and supernatural series. The somewhat goofy series about a 16-year-old California girl given the powers to fight demons and monsters spawned dozens of extended story and inter-universe comic books, as well as a second series Angel, not to mention entire academic courses on its pop culture significance. Its allegorical storytelling of the travails of high school and young adult life was never subtle, but still struck a powerful chord in the collective consciousness, and was taken to heart by many. It was a juggernaut to be sure. Read on for more on how to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
