I think I'm more concerned about the teenage angst parts than scary. She could probably handle MOTW episodes, but the Angel arc seems more for 12-up, I think. I think she is kind of sheltered compared to some of her peers (who happily tell me they went to see Hunger Games last summer.)
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's what I meant about emotional intensity, flea. I'd pick and choose episodes if it were me.

Because books.
That's what I was going to say, flea. The scary parts probably won't be too scary, but when you get to the Angel/Buffy stuff, that metaphor is going to be tricky to explain well to a nine-year-old.
I've let Sara watch some, but just hand-picked episodes, like Hush or Fear, Itself, with me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
What they said: I think most of Season 1 would be OK, but much of S2-7 is gonna depend on the individual kid. Me, I was reading really adult material and would have be fine at 9, but I was a mutant.
Hello, good morning, have a fun trip, sarameg!
And Liese, I think that's an awesome thing to do. Appropriate and shameful it got buried and almost no press.

I tried to get my then-17-yo niece into Buffy. She was too scared to watch more than a couple of S1 episodes! Sheesh.
Apparently some women are interested in not shaving for November. Men are displeased.
Huh. Contrary to what I was told at work, there is at least a fundraising aspect to Movember. And of course there are college douchebags who don't like the idea of women with hairy legs. What a surprise.

I thought Movember was specifically about prostate cancer, rather than men's health generally. To me that's a lot less irksome.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mailed a gift to a friend, and bought a new printer.(Old one stopped working a while back)I think I've accomplished enough for today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
