"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Hmm. At some point werewolf media updated from silvered blades to silver bullets. Buffy used a crossbow, but what about wooden bullets?

Might need a sabot or some kind of jacketing to protect from combustion, but could it work?

You can buy empty .68 cal plastic shells for paintball guns. They're commonly filled with pyrotechnics for use in movies as "spark balls" to simulate bullets striking an object.

... But there's nothing stopping you from filling them with holy water, garlic paste, silver powder, etc.
