Interesting Fact

May have gained notoriety but is not based on Twilight

I thought this show was going to be a shameless copy of the vampire movie and book series of Twilight. The surprisingly scary CW soap opera is actually based on the book series LJ Smith Vampire Diaries and predates Twilight, published in 1991.

Do you think Vampire Diaries has what it takes to compete with Twilight?

No Way!

It is just as good ... if not better

tdpierceall2002 says:

Absolutely. Damon and Stefan make such a good anti-team. Plus it has one other thing going for it. We already know how the Twilight series will end. Gotta keep watching Vampire Diaries (hopefully for a long time) to see where it's going!

toriphile81 says:

Definately, but really, they are very different. I read/watch a lot of urban fantasy series and each has their own spin.

Yeah! Beat it flat!

Heck yeah! I love it!

 

How to weaken or kill a vampire?

on Vampire Diaries

  • Sunlight kills a vampire unless of course you have a family ring like the Salvatore's which protects you from the sun.
  • Newly made vampires must feed on human blood or they die.
  • A family heirloom pocketwatch finds vampires.
  • Wooden Stake through the heart does kill a vampire
  • Wooden bullets injure them.
  • Vervain is poison to vampires if injested, if worn in an amulet like the one worn by Elena it protects you from their powers
