]]> 43404 2 41 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/41.jpg Throw seeds If a vampire is approaching you, spill a bag of millet, seed, or rice in front of it. According to both Eastern European folklore and Chinese mythology, it will be unable to resist counting each and every grain, giving you time to escape.

]]> 43405 3 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/55.jpg Head for daylight If possible, expose the vampire to the sun; maneuvering it into sunlight is a sure way to finish it off.

]]> 43406 4 63 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/63.jpg Toss holy water Toss holy water at it. The challenge here is that you need a lot — a few sprinkles won’t do it.

]]> 43407 5 70 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/70.jpg Drive a stake Time to come in for the kill. Take a stake made of ash, oak, or cedar and drive it straight through the vampire’s heart and into something that will pin it — like the wall, the floor, or its coffin.

]]> 43408 6 83 Tip In Macedonia, they forego the stake and just drive a nail through the vampire’s navel.

]]> 43409 7 89 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/89.jpg Cut off its head Once you have the vampire pinned, take an ax and chop off its head.

]]> 43410 8 94 Tip Boil the head in vinegar; that’s they way they finish off the undead in Crete.

]]> 43411 9 99 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/99.jpg Incinerate it Once it’s decapitated, make a big fire and toss both the head and body into it. Poke them around until they’re reduced to a pile of ashes.

]]> 43412 10 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/24380/109.jpg Dispose of the ashes Throw the ashes into some water and rest easy, knowing the undead is undone.

]]> 43413 11 115 Fact In modern-day Romania, vampire killing — that is, digging up a dead relative believed to be one of the undead, cutting out their heart, burning it to ashes, and drinking those ashes mixed with water — is illegal but still practiced.
