The Vampire Diaries Season Premiere Pics: Let's Party?

at .

The Vampire Diaries will pay heed to Elena's 18th birthday on the upcoming season three premiere, but one thing is evident in the slew of photos just released by The CW: No one is in a celebratory mood.

That's what happens when Stefan turns into a blood-thirsty, globe-trotting monster who teams up with the baddest vampire of them all on a killing binge.

In the following images from "The Birthday," we see Damon drinking, Alaric unshaven, Caroline dealing with the two main men in her life and Klaus confronting a werewolf named Ray. For what purpose? Guess we'll need to tune in on September 15 to find out...
