Old Vs New
The advent of teen television series started with the creation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which brought in the merging of vampires set in the landscape of the modern American high school.Kicking of the vampire fever brought in the onset of various other television series which incorporate the same theme to follow for many years on.
Its interesting to see how the vampire has changed from the traditional to the modern vampire of today.While the newer series incorporate rich kids who live in expensive Florida Villas, Buffy captured a more general and non specific audience.The universality of the show is what brings it the success it has.The vampire of today seems to have become the image of what every 15-18 year old kid wants to aspire to become.The mystery of these creatures of the night still remains the reason what attracts us to become just like them.The success of movies like Twilight, has clearly proved how commercially packaged characters from the movie have been able to relate to such a large audience.Escapism seems to be the main theme for these series, allowing the audience to travel into a space where they can be who he desire to be.Sex,drugs and violence is what makes the world go round.In the world that we live in, audiences find their road to fantasy through series such as these.
The future of television fantasy series is vast and considering the amount of vampire and supernatural series that have been created,its living proof that the market for them is massive and ever growing.
