Zombies are a dying breed. As "The Walking Dead" creeps toward its Nov. 20 series finale, an old friend is reclaiming its title as TV's mightiest monster.
"Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire," the first of AMC's adaptations of Rice's novels, premiered Oct. 2 as cable's most popular ad-supported drama of the year. Showtime's "Let the Right One In," in which a father goes to extreme lengths to quench the thirsts of his vampire daughter, and Syfy's "Reginald the Vampire," a more light-hearted take on the mythical creature, also debuted earlier this month.
They join a club whose members already include Peacock's "Vampire Academy," in which its female protagonists share more than a mutual taste for blood, and FX's "What We Do In the Shadows," which recently wrapped up its fourth season and celebration over its second Emmy nomination for best comedy series.
