Although Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite show of all time followed by the Vampire Diaries in second, my favorite version of a vampire is the Interview With the Vampire version. I think this version is very classy, and really shows the depth of a vampire and shows how a vampire isn't just pure evil or can just choose to turn their humanity off, it shows the bitterness of someone who physically doesn't change and is stuck in the same exact place without being able to move forward forever, someone who can not die and has absolutely no escape from this hell that they are stuck in from being a vampire thats at least what I gathered form the movie, I still have a long way to go before I'm done the book.

BTVS has the best characterization for vampires, I hate the one in The Vampire Diaries but still love the show. I also like the classic vision of vampires like in Interview with A Vampire/Queen of the Damned.
Buffy vision for vampires is my fave because they are very complex. About Twilight this is the worst version, like shining in the daylight ??? please;/ the first movie was good and soundtrack great! but with each next film it was worse..

They are just the pure evil, ugly and nothing good remains in them. Furthermore, the idea of the vampires to destroy the sun is quite interesting.
