people in love. Of course, it was about two young people in love (and that was important), but also about the effect of vampires on a small-town community that has its own deep, dark history. Williamson admitted that a light bulb went off in his head when he realised: ‘this is [much more] than a story about a small town… [it’s] about the underbelly of a small town, and what lurks under the surface.’
‘I had to make myself believe that so that I could move forward and I talked myself into it, because I thought, “If I can just get past the pilot, which is Twilight – girl meets guy in school – and if I can get past that, I bet there’s a show here that I can add something to,’ he told the audience at PaleyFest. Between them, the two writers were up-to-date on all the latest vampire hits, with Plec being a huge Twilight fan and Williamson never missing an episode of True Blood.
Of course, neither begrudges the influence of Twilight and they are, in fact, ‘happy to ride the coat-tails.’ Much of the initial interest in and buzz surrounding the show comes from having a built-in, vampire-ready audience.
Still, there was no way the show would have survived had it not been able to differentiate from the sparkling vampires and prove itself a hit in its own right. For that, Kevin Williamson believed, they just needed to get audiences past the Twilight-esque pilot.
