Is this trope for any kind of monster or just bloodsucking undead? The description seems like it's saying that it can be other kinds, but most of the text focuses on vampires, all the examples seem to be vampires, and the laconic says vampires.

Let the Right One In I might be worth mentioning that Eli is not a girl.

Natter chop from Buffy:

• It could be argued that he was still serving his own creepy, obsessed desires, compounded with the fact he was unable to hurt humans for a while because of the chip in his head. He wasn't honestly redeemed until AFTER he went and got himself re-souled as well.
  • The proper term is "re-ENsouled", thank you very much.
    • They talk about that issue in one episode in Season Five (under the guise of talking about the Hunchback of Notre Dame after English class). Tara says something like, "But he's not really good. He has no moral compass. The only reason he does good things is to win the love of this woman who could never love him back. That's how you know it can't end well..."

This entry may or may not be correct, given the First Person response to it. I don't know enough about either series to fix it; if someone can sort it out and put it back, that'd be appreciated.

• The Addams Family are suprisingly nice people for a family that includes a vampire, a witch, a Frankenstein's Monster doorman etc.
  • I think you're thinking of The Munsters - The Addams Family consisted entirely of humans (unless you count Thing), and it was a live-action tv series, not animated.
