[BennyTheKey]

Ok watched Angel for the first time ever yesturday !
and I noticed how the vampires look kinda different and so does angel, shoudlnt Joss make them look the same ?. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this ?

Yeah defo, especially in the first episdoe with that scary old guy, can't remember his name. They are definately more bulked but i think they look so fake compared to the Buffy vamps.

i believe the first episode of Angel had a different make up artist. if you listen to the commentary, Joss explains this
but yeh, i didnt like the look of them

It was because for the first episode they wanted to give the vamps a new, meaner, darker look (in touch with show as compared to Buffy)
But after the first episode they decided it didn't look so great, and just went back to normal after that

I'm so happy they went back to the "generic" vamp face in Angel. The vamps in City Of... just looked so ridiculous, especially Russel Winters, instead of being afraid of him, I wanted to laugh at him. He looked like he had tumors growing under his face.

The first episode is really boring to me. But I don't think the vamp faces are a big issue. If you look at the vamps in Buffy Season 1, they look a lot different. The vamps are always evolving in the shows, from the way they look to the way they dust.

Russell was also green hehe.

Ive allways wondered about this with Russel Winters they just seemed to use that much prosthetics that you could tell they were prosthetics, the usual vamp faces are better because they just blend in.
