It’s finally here: the trailer for the upcoming fourth season of everyone’s favorite CW vampire show, The Vampire Diaries. And it promises us lots of…vampires…and angst about vampires. Y’know, the ush.

At the end of last season, Elena drowned under the bridge her parents also died — but awoke as a vampire. It appears this coming season, she’ll sort of not like that and kind of wants to, like, not be a vampire. As expected, Bonnie will be looking for a way to reverse her newfound vampire state to turn her back into human with the help of Stefan but at the protests of Jeremy and Damon. What will come of all this!?

Meanwhile, it seems Caroline and Tyler, who is actually Klaus for now, get a bit cozy…as in naked in the woods. Also, what is WITH that Inception-esque scene in the van? Anyone? What do you guys think about the trailer — more or less excited!?!

Remember, The Vampire Diaries premieres Thursday October 11th at 8/7c on America’s Favorite Network (okay, just ours), The CW.
