History Series / MyBabysittersAVampire

%%* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Erica thinks like a {{Vampire Werewolf| Love Triangle}} ParanormalRomance novel in "Blue Moon".

* TheCheerleader: Played with. The head cheerleader is kind of bitchy, but it has more to do with the fact that [[spoiler:she's an immortal witch planning to suck the souls of the student body]] than her being a cheerleader.

* CoveringForTheNoise: In the pilot movie, Sarah is forced to speak with Ethan's mother while the house is being attacked by her vampire ex-boyfriend. Hearing shouting and thumping in the background, his mother asks what's going on, and Sarah frantically insists the boys are playing a video game.

* FreudianExcuse: Before being turned, Erica was a HollywoodNerd who took a lot of crap. Afterwards she decided that this justifies her being a bitch.

* HellBentForLeather: The only way we could tell Evil!Benny from Benny prime was the evil clone's leather jacket. Mostly, it's an aversion though -- Sarah and Erica have leather jackets but don't wear them often and they wouldn't fit the boys' HollywoodNerd image, making this one of the few supernatural-themed teen shows that doesn't drape the whole main cast in black leather.

%%* HollywoodNerd: Ethan and Benny of the Type 2 variety.

* {{Meganekko}}: Both Erica and Rory start out like this, then both quit the glasses after they're bitten.

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Doll-turned-human Debbie Dazzle from "Guys and Dolls".

Despite very high ratings, Creator/{{Teletoon}} [[ScrewedByTheNetwork has decided not to renew the show for a third season.]] However, Fresh TV [[http://www.freshtvinc.com/blog/no-third-season-of-my-babysitters-a-vampire/ later announced]] it was exploring the possibility of making a second movie that would continue where the story left off at the end of Season 2.

The show has similarities to Nick's ''Series/TheTroop'' and the [[TheNineties '90s]] [[Creator/ABCFamily Fox Family]] show ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus'', but ''My Babysitter's a Vampire'' is DarkerAndEdgier in terms of content matter and what is shown.

* DownerEnding: Due to unresolved {{Cliffhanger}}. Season 2 ends with [[spoiler:a massive explosion presumably killing all of the main characters, except Rory and Erica who were hypnotized by another vampire into fleeing the city]]. The only way this may change is if another season or movie is ever made... which seems unlikely considering how long it's been and how much the actors have aged.

%%* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: The school itself isn't without its cursed artifacts either.

** Rory is a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type IV]], a villain in name only.

* BecomingTheCostume: Pretty much the entire plot of "Halloweird".
* BettyAndVeronica: Rory and Benny for Erica. It's hard to tell which is which though.

* CasanovaWannabe: Ethan, Benny, and Rory all fit here. Though Ethan is generally much calmer, Benny and Rory play it pretty straight.

* EerilyOutOfPlaceObject: The strange vines growing throughout the computer lab in "Die, Pod". Later revealed to be the spirit of an ancient tree chopped down by the townsfolk...which is out for revenge.

* WeirdnessCensor: You'd think that Ethan's parents would have noticed and commented of some of the ongoing weirdness. Also, the local news and the school's administration haven't seemed to catch on to the weirdness.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Radar?" Try "Getting crap past the sleeping guard who has an acute hearing loss!" There is now a [[Radar/MyBabysittersAVampire page]] for this.
