Vampire slayers "Vampire hunting kits" have been unveiled in Austria and are ready to be sold in an auction market. Each kit is purportedly assembled in the 1800s by a "Professor Ernst Bloomberg"(now dead, maybe, ahem). Apparently, Ernst Blomberg's tools were meant to be a response to the interest in vampires sparked by the popularity of Bram Stoker's "Dracula".

The kits contain everything you need to kill off any white fanged bloody vamp. The items are as follows: an efficient pistol, 10 bullets of the finest silver, powdered flowers of garlic (one phial), Flour of Brimstone (one phial), wooden stake (Oak), ivory Crucifix, holly water (one phial) and finally, professor's Blomberg's New Serum.

Such a kit has already been auctioned off at Sotheby's the day before last year's Halloween for, well, 12,000 US $ and another one for 20,300$ a few days after. So, better prepare to sell your car if you really want to brag that you're one of the few terrestrials that can really kill vampires. You can also get a vampire kit (miniature crossbow and silver-tipped arrows) from Ebay for about 4,500.

Here comes the bad news. If you kill a vampire, you'll probably be easily identified by undecover police vampires that know that their kind can only be killed if you shoot silver bullets at them. Anyway, given that the Bloomberg's box does not include real Transylvanian garlic, you can forget about the kit and go to "Strigoiul de Vale", a Romanian village, in order to hook yourself up with some real Buffy equipment. That's of course if you really want to keep watch on the real vampires.

We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed.
