  1. Wray Said,

    I bet there’s some garlic in the Hammer films of the ’50’s and ’60’s. Christopher Lee made a scary Count Dracula!

    There’s definitely garlic in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (’92) and it’s mentioned in the book. It never prevents the vampire from getting his prey, but it’s an irritant.

  2. Shannon the Movie Moxie Said,

    Awesome Wray, I knew it had to be there somewhere but never remembered it. I have to check out the Hammer films, I’m not sure I’ve seen any of them but they are certainly on my list.

  3. Wray Said,

    It’s just a guess, but there were so many of them – even up to the ’70’s – and they were all over late night television when I was a kid. I kinda miss those horror/sci fi shows hosted by someone like Elvira or Vampira (before my time).

  4. Becca Said,

    There is an old film called Vampires that uses garlic as a killer !!

  5. Wray Said,

    Do you mean the John Carpenter film? I never saw it, but I know it stars James Woods (awesome).

  6. Becca Said,

    I think it is, i watched it about 3 years ago i think but i remember that they used garlic to help kill the vampires and it is mention in Vin Helsing too

  7. Shannon the Movie Moxie Said,

    It’s possible the John Carpenter version uses it, I remember crossbows for the most part which was the only cool thing about that awful film! Haven’t seen Van Hesling in ages… will catch up with it but not til next year. Freaking to have movie watching planned out that far in advance…

  8. Becca Said,

    Van hesling uses it and a film called After Dark uses it in a small portion.
