2009-present
Vampires, vampires, vampires. When will this vampire craze ever end? Only thing I know about this series is that the ladies are going gaga over them undead men. Don’t fret, gentlemen, we have the hot Nina Dobrev to drool over in this show.
The Vampire Diaries uses a lot of cool songs throughout their episodes—case in point, they already have an official soundtrack—but the official opening sequence, if you can call it that, is a tad too short, and is definitely no True Blood opening. This also explains why fans keep making self-made sequences on YouTube.
Below is their 8-second intro. (It also kind of reminds me of Lost’s intro.)
However, in the soundtrack, there is a song called “Stefan’s Theme”. It lasts for 1:16 and is by Michael Suby who is credited as the lone composer for the series in IMDb. I’m guessing he also wrote that short tune above (if it’s not the same to begin with).
