Buffy the Vampire Slayer released July 31, 1992
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The film was written by Joss Whedon who later created the darker and more acclaimed TV series of the same name starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Whedon often detailed how the TV series was truer to his vision than the movie, which was compromised by commercial interests and differences in interpretation. The film is now considered a relatively minor chapter in the broader Buffy legacy. The film was moderately successful and received mixed reviews from critics.

Rutger Hauer
Plot: Blonde, bouncy Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is your typical high school cheerleader– her goal is to “marry Christian Slater and die” and nothing gets in her way when it’s time to shop. But all that changes when a strange man (Donald Sutherland) informs her she’s been chosen by fate to kill vampires. With the help of a romantic rebel (Luke Perry), Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos, the Vampire King (Rutger Hauer), his sidekick.

Paul Reubens
Lefty (Paul Ruebens) and their determined gang of bloodsuckers. It’s everything you’d expect from a teen queen in the Valley.
