Heeheee. Faux antique vampire killing kits: available only at Pottery Barn!

So my question is: what happens uf you come across a vampire who is Jewish or Hindu or Buddhist or Muslim or any of the other religions that don't believe in this version of the Bible and who don't use a Cross? This looks like a great business opportunity in these troubled times selling custom Specific Religion Anti-Vampire Killing Kits (Patent Pending).

Hi, thx1134. BTW, weird handle.

Anyhoo----I suppose vampires are equal opportunity and all that. I bet they don't care if you're a Jew or Hindu or Muslim. (Now a Mexican...that might be a little spicy) so you can use garlic, silver bullets, stakes in the heart, what have you. There are many ways to kill a vamp. And what did the Lost Boys teach us? Never invite a vampire in your home! And never have them over for coffee. It's a trap.

Must have been an early model.

I saw one like this on an antiques show a couple of years ago. I was disappointed it fetched such a low price and figured they were shortsighted not to have put it to international auction (with a specific eye to America). You're more indulgent of both history and horror than we are.

There should be a fair few of these around as macabre items sold well during the reign of William IV and there was a vogue for horror. But after Victoria lost Albert, and aged, she set the tone for maudlin worship of the dead and vampires were definitely out of favour. So those that weren't burned in a Victorian spate of purity are valuable.

Actually a early proof of concept model from the mid '50's. Lots of abnormalities and quirks. As they say in Arkansas .. it works but this dog don't hunt.

Eh? If that is response to my post, all I am explaining is why so many were destroyed, therefore why those left are more valuable.

Love the vampire hunting kit, don't care if it's a good fake, don't have 15 grand to spend on it :(

When the time comes, you'll wish you hadn't been so cheap.

I thought 3 silver bullets were for disposing of werewolves. Is this an all-purpose, Swiss army kit?

Your lot were even worse during her reign. You're the ones who say tidbit after all!

I'm kind of fond of the titbit. ;)
