Vampires have taken over the known world!  Okay, maybe not the known world, but they've taken over television in a new way, with the advent of HBO's True Blood and The CW's The Vampire Diaries.  Bet CBS feels pretty stupid about canceling Moonlight, huh?  They could have been the forerunners of the new vampire movement instead of the wannabes.  In 1996 Buffy the Vampire Slayer set The WB airwaves on fire, and vampires having been burning up the big and small screens ever since.

For decades vampires have intrigued fans with their ruthlessness, their sensuality, their seamless drifting through time.  Some of the most recent vampire shows that have turned fans heads are the 1960's television serial Dark Shadows, which was remade in the early 1990's starring Ben Cross, Kindred: The Embraced, Forever Knight, Blood Ties, Blade: The Series, Moonlight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and of course, Angel.  With the phenomenon that is Twilight looming on the big screen with another movie release, Whedonage wants to highlight the most menacing vampire on television.

So on to our list of the Most Menacing Vampires in recent television history!

Former Dollmaster Fran Kranz ("Topher") has signed onto a new NBC single-camera comedy pilot Friends with Benefits, as part of group of five friends looking for love, but willing to settle for, well, the title kind of gives that away.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kranz will portray a hopelessly romantic multi-millionaire nerd who sold some code to Google. I'm guessing that makes him the Ross/Ted of this take on How-Friends-Met-Your-Mother.

They tried to keep it quiet, tried to keep the news under wraps, but it was not to be!  According to a not-so-discreet friend, Seth Green and girlfriend actress Clare Grant got engaged on New Year's Eve and plan to be married in May.  One by one the members of the Scoobie gang are biting the dust, matrimony-wise.  So who is Clare Grant?

Grant is rather new to the acting world, her first role being a bit part as a museum curator in the 2004 short film Resolutions of the Complacent Man.  She didn't get a "name" part until 2007's House of Fur, when she starred as Holly.  Then in 2008 she voiced Aqualad in Robot Chicken's "They Took My Thumbs."  And as most every Whedonverse fan knows, Seth Green is the creator of and producer and writer for Robot Chicken.

"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" was one of the creepiest episodes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the one that heightened the tension between Angelus, Drusilla, and Spike, and deepened Buffy's pain ten-fold.  While Spike was Drusilla's chosen companion, it couldn't have been more clear that her psychotic connection to Angelus was something Spike couldn't overcome.  This perverse trio is just one of the most hypnotic love "connections" perfected by Joss Whedon in his ground-breaking shows.  

However, since Valentines Day is about love, let us not dwell too long on the twisted as we take a walk down memory lane and check out a few of the most epic romances in the Whedonverse!
