  <description>&lt;p&gt;Good evening, dark ones and those who join us in the dark. This evening, we're discussing vampire slayers and hunters. As long as there have been stories about monsters, there have been stories about heroes who fight those monsters. Vampires are no exception. Most of us here are fanged fiends who are unapologetically #TeamVampire, but even we must admit sometimes vampires go too far and must be stopped. So join us as we discuss some favorite and notable vampire hunters and slayers and why we can appreciate them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
