Vampire Killing Will Always Be In

 Ever since Twilight became popular, the whole vampire thing has blown up. So many spin-offs, so little time. But with all the vampire romance going on, we tend to forget the other, better side of the spectrum – the sexy-ass vampire killers.

First, there's the slayer. Don't forget the difference between “slayers” and “hunters”. Slayers are the stake-wielding, skirt-wearing, vampire-dating girls. Slayers are Buffy and co. These badass chicks are the ones who date brooding vamps (Angel, Spike), while simultaneously slaying all the other bloodsuckers, along with other creatures. Now that's kick-ass. Plus, there's the whole scary-slash-depressing storylines that Buffy gave us, with the option of emotion imbalance.

Then there are the hunters. Examples being Abraham Lincoln and the Winchester brothers. These guys are fucking sexy, and are not born into the job. Both these examples are operating on avenging their dead mothers, at least at the beginning. Then everything gets blown out of the water and a lot of people die, and sometimes even they die, then they come back to life, rinse and repeat. Pretty fun, actually. Plus, more hot vampires.

Pretty much, the whole point of vampire killing is to have really, really hot vampires that you can either kill or make out with, and either way it's pretty cool with me. Henry Sturges? Swoon. Angel? Give us a kiss. Spike? Somebody pinch me. Or, rather, bite me.

I just need my own sexy vampire hunter / vampire to date. Is that so much to ask? Then we can kick some dead ass with our axes and stakes and hot outfits. When can this be a thing?
