The brainchild of writer Joss Whedon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer originally entered American pop culture as a full-length feature film, starring Kristy Swanson, in 1992. But creator Whedon felt that the project never quite did justice to the full scope of his vision, so he managed turn the film into a television series in 1997. The result of Whedon's increased artistic freedom is a series that has enjoyed both critical acclaim and audience notoriety. Nominated for 14 Emmy's during its seven year run, the show managed to win only two (both in 1998 for Outstanding Makeup and Outstanding Music Composition in a television series). Yet, the true success for Buffy The Vampire Slayer is indicated by the massive success of the show's long run, strong DVD sales, and the overwhelming success of the series spin-off Angel…
Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the title role of Buffy Anne Summers, a teenage girl who stands alone among her generation as the "chosen one" able to "stand against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer…" But Buffy is not alone in fulfilling her destiny as a slayer of vampires. She also receives help from the high school librarian, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), who is a Watcher - the one chosen to train and guide slayers on their developmental path. In addition, new friends Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hanningan - of American Pie fame) and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon) quickly uncover the truth of Buffy's destiny, and they often aid her in defending the world against evil forces…
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 7) DVD offers a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Lessons" in which the re-opening of Sunnydale high school is tempered by the resurrection of several students and faculty who place the blame on Buffy for not properly protecting them. Buffy and Dawn join together to defeat the forces of evil, while Spike's soul traverses the labyrinth depths of the school's new basement… Other notable episodes from Season 7 include "Selfless" in which Anya's guilt in the aftermath of granting a woman's wish compels her to reverse the spell and face the remainder of her life as a Vengeance Demon, and "Potential" in which Buffy and Spike train potential Slayers while Willow uses a locator to discover that Dawn's friend Amanda is the Chosen One…
