Based on L.J. Smith's teen book series of the same name, 2009's "The Vampire Diaries" follows Elena Gilbert, a teenaged orphan resident of the supernatural town of Mystic Falls. In the series, Elena falls in love with Stefan Savatore, a 162-year-old vampire, but when Stefan's selfish brother Damon comes to town, things get complicated. Damon not only holds a grudge against his brother, but he also has an intense fascination with Elena, who looks exactly like a former vampire lover of his. The brothers are supposedly cursed to always have a sibling rivalry, but with both of them in Mystic Falls, Stefan and Damon slowly work to overcome their poor relationship. However, their little love triangle with Elena causes plenty of juicy drama.
