- wiml 3y agoI also recommend that book for anyone interested in the subject! GP neglects to mention that it might also be necessary to bury the decapitated, garlic-stuffed, staked corpse at a crossroads.
- throw__away7391 3y agoI have heard that the stake was specifically intended to be driven into the floor of the coffin once it had completely penetrated the body with the intention to hold the vampire in place, rather than merely used as a weapon stabbing the heart as is near universally depicted in film.
