Vampire High

Hi just watching this series on the horror channel and i am now completely addicted to it. It has an excellent storyline and the characters are fantastic i am hoping that there will be more of this fantastic series out soon and hopefully it will be released on DVD. excellent concept the story writers are superb how they came up with this idea is beyond me. when i first heard about it i had no interest but it is a superb series with excellent story lines and settings. if only Mansfield high existed in real life i would be there in a flash. I will definitely be at the front of the queue to buy this one. it's great to see what would happen if such a school existed

I personal love most programmes and movies but I just watch it on the horror channel and completely got into it. It's great how they are Vampires trying to be more human.

This is a must see for anyone who likes vampire programmes and movies. It's not in the league of Buffy and Angel but still a good program to watch. To bad it was cancelled after just 2 series but with cartoons like family guy coming back hopefully they reconsider and bring it back.

Fingers crossed.

The weird part being that I actually watch this.

Not by any means can I bring myself to say that this series has any depth, or offers excitement. It takes no risks plot-wise, and the characters seem to do what fits the story, rather than what fits with some sort of consistent personality.

The main story is that 5 "young" vampires have been sent to a boarding high school to become civilized and to learn to act human. Why I can't understand, since they act very human right from the start. They're considerably more humane than their living counter parts. The school seems to have one major staff member: the middle-aged, not very strong-looking headmaster, and yet not a single vampire ever does anything to even offend him. Even though they're five very fast and strong supposedly untamed bloodsuckers, when he shouts, they cringe. Even when they haven't fed for 24 hours or so, and become frenzied, bloodthirsty monsters, they go to their human, blood-filled headmaster to sit close to him and TALK IT OVER. Quite uncivilized and scary, huh?

It is virtually impossible to take this series seriously, but it works very well as a relaxing background noise. The characters don't go through any noticeable changes between ep. 1 and ep. 26, so don't worry about missing anything if you just let this run while doing something else.

Vampire High ran on YTV in Canada and Sky 1 in the UK from 2001 to 2002. It aired in the USA on The WB in 2002. The series ran for one season (26 half-hour episodes).

As if ordinary teenagers weren't bad enough, the Mansbridge Academy boarding school has both human and vampire teenagers. The series centers on a group of "young" vampires participating in an experiment arranged by the vampire elders, with the intention of civilizing the vampires. In this program, Professor Murdoch is to teach the vampires how to live among and act like humans.

The humans and vampires at Mansbridge Academy face typical (and not so typical) troubles such as friendships, enemies, crushes, intense blood cravings, and vampire-human romance, and trying not to kill your human classmates.

This series is on the most basic level – fun. Don't expect highly developed characters or story lines from Vampire High. There are no profound lessons to be learned from it.

Take it at face value and enjoy the cheesy goodness that is teenage Canadian television.

Okay, I'll admit it. I love this show. It can be pretty cheesy, but the acting is gradually getting better. Some of the storylines are fairly Buffyish, but I still enjoy it. There is always something new happening, except for the Drew and Sherry storyline, which is over...finally! I love Joris Jarsky (Marty) probably because he is good looking and from the same province and country I come from! Anyway, I recommend this show to anyone who enjoys vampires, excitement, and a little cheesiness.
