My hot take: Buffy is the more influential show obviously, but Angel is the better show overall.

(And of course, fuck Joss Whedon.)

Controversial fourth season aside, the Buffy spinoff has proven to be just as much a favorite with fans as the original show.

Tamara Feldman was good in the first film, but this is where the Hatchet franchise really took off for me. We love Danielle Harris around these parts!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sinners feels EXACTLY like what a Vampire: the Masquerade game set in that era should be like.

Right down to the mid-credits stinger.

Taking Dracula into the '70s was the smartest move Hammer ever made with him (aside from casting Christopher Lee).

This is a goofy but altogether more enjoyable Dracula film than the ones that proceeded , with the exception of the original Hammer Drac.
