TV's Top 12 Supernatural Archetypes

Otherwise known as the “The Reformed Vampire,” this bloodsucker is atoning for his past years as a serial killer/cannibal. Emo Vamp is a staple in almost every vampire show and movie: Brad Pitt in Interview With a Vampire, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) in True Blood, Edward in Twilight, and Stefan (Paul Wesley) in The Vampire Diaries. All these bros are wounded, withering, and newly rectified; and they clearly spend a lot of time writing in their journals and crying all over their man-jewelry. That’s right, all of them wear a pinkie ring. Deal with it.

Emo Vamps tend to develop inappropriate crushes on hot human girls, get caught up in shame spirals, and threaten to stake themselves. Some of them have a condition that makes them sparkle.
