It may be hard for Buffy fans to hear this, but the cult classic series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is officially 25 years old. Debuting back in 1997, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was a hit for those who love vampires, demons, and a lot of ass-kickings. The supernatural drama series ran for seven seasons—with the first five seasons airing on The WB and the final two moving to UPN. While “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” unfortunately, isn’t getting a reboot anytime soon, we decided to celebrate the anniversary by rounding up some similar projects.
