Buffy the Vampire Slayer is so not Twilight. For fans of that supernatural series who have never seen the pop-culture-iconic, hilariously scripted, butt-kicking original teenage girl dealing with a town full of vamps, well, it’s about time you met your maker. This high school epic—and the TV show it later inspired—is ultimately “about growing up,” creator Joss Whedon told Entertainment Weekly. To put the character’s impact into perspective, Buffy ranks No. 3 on EW’s 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years (only Harry Potter and Homer Simpson outrank her; Tony Soprano is No. 4). So where is the original Buffy cast now?

The cast of Wes Craven’s Scream was full of virtual unknowns when the horror film slashed onto movie screens in 1996, but thanks to the film reinventing the genre, none of their careers were D.O.A. In some circles they may still be best known for Scream, but each and every cast member has seen their career go above and beyond the franchise that released its fourth film earlier this year. They may not all have survived the film, but surviving Hollywood is a much bigger feat!
