Is it OK for me to make a short film about a Vampire Slayer but not mentioning Buffy The Vampire Slayer or any of it's characters? It would be kinda like a parody but not really.
I mean , It has been done before in England. They made a short film called Fluffy The English Vampire Slayer and they aired that film in Festivals. So , is it OK for me to make something like that if I don't mention Buffy?

go ahead. Buffy fans would love to see it! They've got some Buffy spoofs and stuff on youtube.com

Intellectual propetry rights might have issues if the Vampire Slayer were a character based on the Vampire Slayer characters of Buffy ie same kind of world using the same history and terminology.
If the Vampire Slayer was just a person who hunted and killed vampires then it shouldn't be a problem

GAWD, I love anything to do with vampires. Bhaw!
I think it would be fine, as long as you don't make a profit off of it (that's copywrite violation.) That is, if you are creating a paradody/satire film.
If you plan on creating your own original script, go right ahead.
I'd love to see/read it either way. Good luck.

Sure why not. I don't see how you would be breaking any laws people do parodies all the time. Good luck with your film. :)
