Real 19th Century Vampire Killing Kit Is a Must Have

gizmodo.com — Sold at an auction for $14,850, this 100% authentic vampire kit from the 19th century is an absolute steal. I mean, can you really put a price to the ability to battle vampires like Kiefer Sutherland, Dick Cheney and Bono? I say no.

  • inactive, on 11/16/2008, -3/+272The most diggworthy part of this is that it looks used. Someone in the 19th century actually carried this around, oozing awesome from every pore.

    *****.
  • fluidfoundation, on 11/17/2008, -4/+201Can I use it to kill those actors from Twilight?
  • inactive, on 11/17/2008, -0/+162That garlic has held up pretty well.
  • inactive, on 11/16/2008, -1/+86Man, I gotta get one of those, I have a vampire problem around the house here too.
  • MrBogard, on 11/17/2008, -0/+61Vampires
  • inactive, on 11/17/2008, -1/+61What I really wonder is how many vampires (or poor souls) it was used on?
  • meruru, on 11/17/2008, -1/+59I don't think the garlic is from the 19th century...
  • MrBogard, on 11/17/2008, -0/+56...I think we found a vampire!
  • o0joshua0o, on 11/17/2008, -0/+54How do you kill a mummy? Please someone respond within the next 5 minutes.... It's.... It's.... breaking down the.....OH MY GOD!!!!
  • Mawds, on 11/17/2008, -0/+54You kill it with fire.
  • reyoo30309, on 11/17/2008, -0/+46I love how even though it was clearly in the room he took the time to add a few more !!!'s to then end of his sentence. It shows dedications.
  • ASSASSYN360, on 11/17/2008, -0/+40Vampires not included.
  • MeatMountain, on 11/17/2008, -16/+55***** you two of my friends died from a real 19th century vampire killing kit
  • doctechnical, on 11/17/2008, -0/+36Decapitation is a start, yes, but to be sure you want to place a consecrated holy wafer in the mouth. sew the lips shut with black silk thread, sprinkle liberally with Holy Water, bury the head at a crossroads during a new moon, quarter the body, incinerate each quarter, and send the ashes to the four corners of the world.

    Just to be safe.
  • Godlike, on 11/17/2008, -0/+35Duh.
  • Leviathan433, on 11/17/2008, -0/+34kill him with fire!
  • Leviathan433, on 11/17/2008, -1/+35That's vat she saiiiiiiid, ah ah ah!
  • apec766, on 11/17/2008, -1/+34Oh no, it was awesome.
  • RealmDown, on 11/17/2008, -0/+32They are returning in popularity because the rumor is true:

    These WORK on telemarketers.....
  • yokozuka, on 11/17/2008, -1/+32I know that vampires are not real (or I want to believe) but seeing these things makes me a little bit nervous.

    And with a "makes me a little bit nervous" I really mean "scares the bejeezus out of me".
  • solid12345, on 11/17/2008, -3/+30I have compiled a list of alleged vampires who I think should be killed, no questions asked

    Dane Cook
    Carlos Mencia
    Andy Dick
    Tom Cruise
  • kaskarn, on 11/17/2008, -1/+26most definitely awesome.
  • apec766, on 11/17/2008, -2/+27Nicholas Cage was nearly killed by a spork during filming of Ghost Rider. Many people thanked the attempt at preventing this movie from ever being made.

    True story.
  • InfinitySnatch, on 11/17/2008, -1/+25I'm going to find out, with or without the real deal. Most vampires and actors can be killed by a number of common household items.
  • happystatic, on 11/17/2008, -0/+23You kill it with a Brendan Fraser.

  • InfinitySnatch, on 11/17/2008, -0/+22No way. You did that on accident.
  • ElGubrush, on 11/17/2008, -1/+21Yes. Please. I'll drive. Let's go.
    You just practice your stabbing.
  • InfinitySnatch, on 11/17/2008, -2/+20Is Bejeezus supposed to be the Bizarro version of Jesus or something?
  • Dexter77, on 11/17/2008, -3/+20Yes carried around and from the looks, also used. I wonder on what..
  • ElGubrush, on 11/17/2008, -1/+18What's that Shelly? And if you order today we'll throw a special silver bullet firing revoler and 6 silver bullets in for free! Oh, wow, six silver bullets. The last time a deal this good came by, Van Helsing got drunk and forgot where he left his carriage!
  • apec766, on 11/17/2008, -0/+17And? How does that have any relevance? Are you saying assassination attempts with sporks couldn't have happened within the last 2 years?
  • RoboB0b, on 11/17/2008, -0/+15How many dedications did it show?
  • apec766, on 11/17/2008, -0/+15Hm, this is true. But what if I wish to opt for a more direct approach of silver stakes? Go medieval on his ass.

    ...I'm asking for a friend.
  • Efilnikufesin, on 11/17/2008, -3/+17Van Helsing Powers...ACTIVATE!
  • FishHammer, on 11/17/2008, -2/+15that garlic has to be NASTY by now
  • KaiUno, on 11/17/2008, -0/+13Your crappy spelling isn't a myth either.
  • sfhock, on 11/17/2008, -0/+13the only vampire killin' kit I need is Buffy.
  • asgardshill, on 11/17/2008, -1/+14Dick Cheney is NOT repeat NOT a vampire. He's a goddamn succubus. You can tell - he always asks you for tree fiddy, which of course you must never EVER give him. All you need to kill a goddamn succubus is an old-school tape recording of the song "The Morning After", which you must play and sing backwards.

    Remember - NEVER EVER give him tree fiddy.
  • doctechnical, on 11/17/2008, -0/+12Good Lord! No wonder it went for such a high price!
  • Leviathan433, on 11/17/2008, -0/+12clearly if they were killed by a stake through the heart they must have been vampires.
  • ToddsSpleen, on 11/17/2008, -0/+12Bejeezus bought him a few drinks and bam, next thing he knew Bejeezus was inside of him.
  • OwdenBowden, on 11/17/2008, -1/+12I really need one of these for my Mother-in-law. She can suck the life out of anything. Children cry and dogs scatter when she enters a room.
  • omnithought, on 11/17/2008, -0/+11One thing I never could stand about Santa Carla....all the damn vampires.
  • wowsah156, on 11/17/2008, -0/+11What fascinates me is the attention to detail. Its the fact that a craftsman took great care and deliberation in making this. Imagine living in a such a climate of fear that motivates someone to make such a vicious and beautiful peice of kit. And that it looks USED. The article never said where this kit was made.
  • MrFurious2k, on 11/17/2008, -0/+11Really.
  • apec766, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10I'm far more interested in a werewolf hunting kit.
  • tehpwnerofn00bs, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10You don't get to point out your own puns. Its bad form, sir.
  • MrFurious2k, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10I used to have a 19th century vampire killing kit until it was modernized. I discovered that squirt guns loaded up with holy water (thanks Hollywood!) work more effectively. Plus, I can get some minced garlic from the store.
  • passedoutghost, on 11/17/2008, -0/+10Fire doesn't work you fool! SHOOT HIM WITH THE SILVER BULLETS!
  • iamghost, on 11/17/2008, -1/+10kind of creepy but when i went to digg this story it had 666 diggs....
