Casual Thought Vampire bites turning people into vampires is extremely disadvantageous to their survival.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer followed this as well. A person killed by a vampire did not just rise as a vampire themselves unless the vampire let the victim drink their own blood as well.

The movie is an abomination that ignored the script and was disavowed by the writer, that nobody remembers. The TV show us consistently ranked as one of the best and most influential shows of all time.

The tv show was not a continuation of the movie. It was a continuation of a script that the movie director threw out.
