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

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…

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

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

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).

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.

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.
