Damn Inspiration...

I'm supposed to be plotting out a sequel to Red, right? But instead...I was just sitting here, all innocent, when I remembered that I wanted to look further into something that invisible_lift  shared today. What was that, you ask?

A vampire slayer kit, circa about 1800, just sold at auction. 

Whoa.

This is another one I found...19th Century vampire slaying kit, closer to 1850.  Not quite as fascinating as the above one, but lovely.

 

There are more!  Apparently, these kits were quite the thing to have handy around the house.  Seeing this site REALLY made me shiver.


I do not like vampire novels. I was never a Buffy fan, Twilight makes me roll my eyes, Angel--was he a vampire? I dunno.  I walk down the YA aisle and screech at all the vampire novels....  Then this smacks me in the face, and an idea comes so hard and fast and pushes Lee's story aside...unless of course I could make the ballet dancer a vampire...  Bet that's been done.  LOL. 

Or has it?

C, seized by odd things in the night

I love vampires so stupidly much. Huge Buffy and Angel fan, love Lost Boys, and really I totally flail over anything that looks like maybe it's a vampire.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THESE!

I totally want my own vampire hunting kit. And thanks to The Vampire Survival Guide, I totally know how to make a modern day one! ;)

LOST BOYS--I loved that! If you make it, you have to post all about it.

I never watched Buffy or Angel because back then, I had no control over the remote (i.e., my life). But I do now...I should indulge, huh. I just might have to. Which to start with though?

Well Buffy was before Angel -- Angel was a spin-off. Buffy is definitely worth a watch. It might not make you squee with joy at first, but after a few episodes (or seasons even) you might find yourself totally hooked. I did :) The characters in Buffy were awesome and so was the dialogue!
