A look back at season 1 with superlatives, emails, and season 2 predictions

When your crush doesn't like you back it can really feel like the end of the world. Especially when it coincides with the Vampire King gaining the ability to walk above ground, a Lovecraftian monster bursting through the floor of your school, and a prophecy foretelling your death.

Sometimes at school you can feel invisible, and then you use that invisibility to torture and mutilate the people who ignored you.
