I grew up transfixed by such landmark cinematic feats as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, and The Wizard of Oz, as well as Broadway productions like Into the Woods and Rent. Twenty years later, it remains one of the greatest episodes of television and musicals ever created. More than any other episode, it’s the much-lauded “ Once More, with Feeling,” a musical extravaganza bursting with heart-pounding choruses and aw-shucks quirk, that I hold most dear. I have, of course, come around to the show since, and its fantastical storytelling holds a special place in my ghoulish, cold heart. During the show’s run (1997-2003), I tuned it on occasion, finding great delight in Sarah Michelle Gellar’s wonderfully empowering turn as the titular vampire hunter, but it was never an obsession among my core group of friends. I admit: I was only a casual Buffy the Vampire Slayer viewer.
