Too rich for your blood? Here are a few tried-and-true methods for protecting oneself from the sucking dead.

  • Never invite anyone into your home. Vampires can’t cross the threshhold if you don’t willingly invite them in,  so be careful using Tinder, Skype, and Facebook.
  • Running away from a vampire? Running water is your friend, since running water represents purity. Being anathema to vampires, they will not cross it. In a pinch, just leave the hose running outside your house.
  • Nothing more repellent to the living dead than profound faith. Whether it’s a crucifix, star of David, hammer and sickle,3 as long as the values they represent resonate with you, a vampire will be kept at bay. If you believe children are our future, keep one nearby. And even if you don’t, keep a kid handy to distract your pursuer with a quick snack.
  • Make your own stakes! Rummage around in your basement or garage, most likely there’s an old Louisville Slugger mouldering in a corner. With patience and sandpaper, you can make your own wooden stake.
  • Whether it’s a humid day with triple digit temperatures, or facing down Dracula in his haven, a Super Soaker full of holy water is instant death for any vampire. If you happen to be clergy, your urine is automatically considered holy water. Ain’t no shame pissing yourself if it’s gonna save your life.
