- TriviaJoss Whedon noted in the commentary for this episode that he felt horrible for giving Eric Balfour so many lines with "s" in them, which he had to recite while in "Vamp-face". He had such a difficult time getting the lines out around the prosthetics that new ones were designed for vampire characters required to speak frequently; the older style ones were given to vampire lackeys with few or no lines in future episodes.

The Harvest
A great follow up to the premiere that shows you can't keep a good girl down as Buffy tries to stop the Master's plans. Now its Buffy and her friends against an unearthly threat as they must stop a ritual only known as the harvest. Mark Metcalf & Eric Balfour both gave great performance as beings who are real threats ranging from menacing, seductive and giving viewers the chills. The rest of the caste varies as they are still getting use to each other or finding their footing and don't come off as genuine quite yet. The atmosphere adds to the creepy vibe they gave off with the low lighting, shadows and if I'm not mistaken a super eight camera to give the film a hazy unsettling picture. The special effects for the face makeup was impressive for such a low budget and very original as they look how I imagine from legends instead of handsome Dracula, but a demon returned from The grave to terrorize the living.
The music sounds creepy, almost ancient in nature showing how perilous the situation they find themselves in really is and how dangerous the creatures of the night they're facing are.
