How to Destroy a Vampire

 

The following is a list of common methods used to destroy a vampire. This list is taken from The Vampire Encyclopedia by Matthew Bunson.

 

Staking – the most commonly used method in the world

Beheading – avoid splattering of blood

Sunlight – some aged and powerful vampires are immune

Cremation – found throughout the world; scatter the ashes

Piercing with a sword – a blessed sword should be used

Immersing in water – a bathtub can be used, but body disposal may prove a problem

Drenching in Garlic and Holy Water – large amounts have to be hauled to the gravesite to assure a clean kill; oil, wine, or vinegar can also be used

Touching with a crucifix – destroys a young vampire but is normally used only as a repellent

Trapping in the grave – iron bits, red peas, rice (for Chinese species), roses, garlic, stones, and holy water can be used

Extracting the heart – can be very messy
