'THE STAKE, THE SWORD, AND FIRE'

Remove the vampires heart and boil it in oil.

Crosses of willow wood, holy water, wild roses and garlic repel vampires.

Bury the vampire at a crossroads, this will confuse it and he will not be able to find his way home.

The vampire dosen't like mirrors. The reflection of his soul shows how inhuman he has become.

Do not commit suicide, you will return as a vampire.

A vampire may not enter you home unless it is invited.
