Misconceptions and bad press

THE DAY WALKER( Blade)

that belief mainly stems form your eastern type vampire myths/beleifs. they believed a vampire was so anal, that if you put a pile of rice at you windows, doors etc. the vampire would have to stop and count them one by one before moving on. and hopefully the sun was up by the time he was done. also from chinesse beliefs. the vampire couldnt go across sticky rice, so if you spread that over the floor it would burn their feet if they trod on it. also if you held your breath the vampire can't see you.. thats what believed in the chinesse mythology of vampires anyway

me thinks someones been watching mr vampire

in lifeforce(the space vampires)they used a lead stake and i thought roses held some power as well.

Ant-vampire pebbles
 

I saw something called "anti-vampire pebbles" in a documentary once. According to the vampire expert, if you show these to a vampire, the vampire will "run screaming in the opposite direction." The stones were just polished black rocks.

If you were being chased by a hundred vampires and they were closing in and you pulled some of these out, would they ALL run screaming in the opposite direction?

That would look really neat!

lol nah just watched a old chinesse movie..i wish i could remember the nameof it though, it was very funny. with a lot of jackie chan type action/comedy in it.

if I had vampires after me, I'd chuck a 15Kg bag of basmatti rice everywhere.... that'll keep the bugers busy till sunrise :D

sounds like a mr vampire film

Sorry that would not work. In dracula 2,000 2, It took the vampire about 2 sec. to count that rice. He looked at the rice on the ground and said who many there where, just that quick!!!
