Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson may think that they have it all. The teeny boppers of this generation probably don't realize of the television greats that reigned supreme before "Bella" and "Edward" came along.

Most people think that the current vampire craze started as a result of the Twilight series of books. Most often forget that humans have been infatuated with vampires for literally centuries. From Bram Stoker's Dracula to Anne Rice's Vampire Series, vampire novels have been made into movies over the years. More recently, Patricia Brigg's Mercedes Thompson Series and Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Series have become well worth the read.

Twilight has sired other television series such as HBO's True Blood and CW's Vampire Diaries. This is not the CW's first encounter with a vampire show. Buffy the Vampire Slayer played on both the WB network and UPN, the two networks that merged to form the CW.

So, now on to the real matter. Why is Buffy the Vampire Slayer so much better than Twilight?

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer adheres to traditional vampire rules. The vamps in Buffy are destroyed by sunlight, holy water, and wooden stakes. They don't make reflections, which makes it easier for them to sneak up of Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies.

2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer still has a following. We can't say that Twilight won't still have a following in ten years, but Buffy's following is still strong. The Twilight books will most likely last longer than the movie craze.

3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer had the talent of Joss Whedon and some of the best actors in Hollywood. Sarah Michelle Gellar went on to star in many different movies. Alyson Hannigan starred in the American Pie series. David Boreanaz is the costar of the popular television show, Bones.

4. The hunky male vampires of Buffy the Vampire Slayer are way scarier than Edward Cullen. Even when in romantic relationships with Buffy, Angel and Spike are two scary vampires. They're extremely intimidating, while Edward Cullen comes off as creepy and weird.

5. Buffy is witty and cute. Bella is awkward and doesn't use one liners. One of a Buffy fan's favorite things about the show is the witty quips of the Slayer.

6. What Would Buffy Do? Jana Riess wrote a novel about the spiritual and moral aspects of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. The book discusses all the ways the vampire series teaches morals.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer will always reign supreme in the Vampire genre.
