Question 1 of 10

1. You're camping out and decide to go for a short jog in the moonlight after dark. Big mistake. Eventually you run into a stranger up ahead, let's call him Nero. Nero happens to be a very thirsty vampire. Luckily for you, you know how to spot a vampire. Which of the following odd things is a definite tip-off that Nero's of the Undead, as opposed to just some random nutjob? Hint

He's wearing a cape

He has red eyes

He has pale skin and black hair

He has no shadow

NEXT>

Question 2 of 10

2. You immediately turn around and start running. Nero chases after you at full speed and starts to gain on you. You reach into your pocket for something to throw at him and take out a pouch filled with rice. What can you do with this? Hint

Toss the rice on the ground for him to count

Throw it in his face to distract him

Offer it to him as food

Toss the rice on the ground and hope he'll slip on it

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. Unfortunately, your aim is off tonight and you toss the rice too far behind him for it to do anything. It does make him duck, though, giving you enough time to speed ahead. You see a group of bats flying nearby, and so does Nero. Can he make them harm you? Hint

Yes, vampires can control bats as well as wolves, rats, and crows

No, but bats are aggressive and will attack anyone they can

No, but the bats might be other vampires and attack me on their own

No, vampires can't control bats or any other animals

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. You make a sharp left turn away from them and keep running. Unfortunately, Nero is too quick for you and grabs your arm, dragging you to a halt. As you face him and watch your life rush before your eyes, you notice a medallion around his neck. You've seen it before, it's been adopted by modern day vampirists as a sign of eternal life. What is it? Hint

ankh

swastika

yin yang

pentagram

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. Fortunately, you manage to throw some garlic powder in his face (finally, something goes right!). You continue running when a horrible thought comes to you: Can vampires get AIDS? They get blood from many random people, but they're of the Undead, so they wouldn't get affected by the disease. So you're in no danger of getting AIDS either, right? Right?

Yes

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. Other random thoughts come to you during your flight. You mutter under your breath at the morons who didn't bury Nero properly. What could have been done to prevent him from rising from the grave? Hint

Cut the head from the body and place it between the legs or under an arm

Cut the name from its shirt

Bury the body upside down so it wouldn't know which way to get out of the coffin

Any of these will do, actually

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. Of course, your friends will say he's not REALLY a vampire if you survive to tell them about this. Which medical affliction has vampirism not been connected to? Hint

Schizophrenia

Sickle-cell anemia

Tuberculosis

Rabies

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. Besides garlic, what other plant can be used to ward off vampires? Hint

Wild rose

Skunk cabbage

Poppies

Queen Anne's Lace

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. Finally you can see your cabin, it's only a yard away! You reach it when you realize there's no way to lock him out. How can you MOST EASILY prevent him from coming in and tearing your sweet juicy arteries out? Hint

Tell him he can't come in

Try to banish him with some bottled water, it might be holy

Enter the cabin and hide under the bed

Sit up all night with a cross in hand so he can't get near you

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. The next day, you leave the cabin once you're sure it's nice and sunny out. In town, you grab a newspaper with breakfast and see an ad for a place to report vampire attacks. The center is named after the Dutch doctor from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. What was the name of this doctor?

Answer: (Last name only, two words)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: He has no shadow

Although Dracula often wears a cape in the movies, that's just a Hollywood habit. And has anyone considered that there may be black or Asian or Arab vampires? They wouldn't have pale skin. You can wear colored contacts to get red eyes, too. The only one that would be unexplainable is the absence of a shadow (during a full moon).

Answer: Toss the rice on the ground for him to count

Alternately, you can use poppy seeds or broomstick bristles.

Answer: No, vampires can't control bats or any other animals

Vampires controlling Nature is something Bram Stoker made up. Same goes for the bats-being-vampires theory. And bats are generally shy creatures that don't attack humans unless provoked.

Answer: ankh

Although all four symbols are favorites of New Agers, the ankh has a special place in the hearts of modern vampirists. On a side note, the swastika was a Tibetan symbol of peace way before Hitler came along and butchered it into a mark of racism. And the pentagram is a symbol of the elements, not Satan.

Answer: no

HIV can technically be transferred through biting. Technically. I don't think there's even been a documented case of this happening though. A vampire could get HIV from anyone they've bitten (or slept with, or shared a needle with, etc). They would just carry it without being affected by the virus. So technically, you could get AIDS because of a vampire bite.

Answer: Any of these will do, actually

There are zillions of ways to prevent a corpse from becoming a vampire; these are just a few of the possibilities. One of the most obvious ways, from Germany, was to lay the body out for a few nights and check to see if it started acting vampiric!

7. Of course, your friends will say he's not REALLY a vampire if you survive to tell them about this. Which medical affliction has vampirism not been connected to?

Answer: Sickle-cell anemia

Schizophrenia can lead people to believe they're all sorts of things. The signs of tuberculosis include coughing up blood and losing strength, with the symptoms worsening at night. And rabies, of course, is transferred through biting.

8. Besides garlic, what other plant can be used to ward off vampires?

Answer: Wild rose

Although poppy seeds can be used as a distraction for vampires when spilled, the poppy flower itself does nothing. Neither does skunk cabbage, although considering the rationale behind garlic maybe it should, since they both reek. And Queen Anne's Lace is also known as Devil's carrot, so it's probably not the best plant to drive evil away.

Answer: Tell him he can't come in

Unless you left the water out of your anti-vampire kit, it's probably plain old water (holy water must be blessed by a priest). Sitting up all night with a cross in hand may work, but it'll be difficult and you might fall asleep on guard. And hiding under the bed is just silly.

The easiest way is to tell him he can't come in, because vampires can't enter dwellings without permission from the person living there. At dawn he'll be gone, and you can get out of the woods, away from all this battiness!

Answer: Van Helsing

Yes, Van Helsing, the doctor that couldn't save Lucy Westenra but got Dracula in the end. Hopefully, your report will help nab Nero and put him and his fellow fiends in the dust where they belong.
