Unaired Buffy the Vampire Slayer pilot

The non-broadcast pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was produced by 20th Century Fox Television in 1996 to pitch a series to networks. The twenty-five-and-a-half-minute production was written and directed by Buffy creator Joss Whedon, and was expanded upon and re-shot for the first episode of the series. It is notable for featuring different actors in the roles of Willow and Principal Flutie. Sunnydale High is known as Berryman High.

The plot concerns Buffy Summers' move to Sunnydale after being expelled from a school in Los Angeles. Buffy enters Sunnydale High and meets Cordelia, Willow, and Xander. Willow is lured by a vampire into a trap. Buffy shows up with Xander and kills all the vampires.

While a popular bootleg, Whedon has said the pilot episode will not be officially released, as he feels it is of poor quality.
