Well, some of us are likely to knock politely and bring a six-pack and a guitar.  ;)

Cool! I've known about that for years, a really good, practical idea. 'Snake medicine'.

Seriously?  Wow, I thought I was the only one who has silver bullets loaded up.

I keep some around, only to demonstrate that it's a silly myth, they don't really work on us...

I keep a few pistols loaded up at all times, locked in my safe to avoid any unauthorized access along with a loaded 12 gauge. I have a few snake loads for my out in the country brush busting.  I pity the fool who comes crawling through my doors and/or windows...😎

I am sure they will give a werewolf a tummy ache if shot in the belly or a head ache if shot in the head.🤣 But to really effect the werewolf shoot it in the groin, that would piss him off.

Oh, I am sure! Who wants that?! While silver bullet jewelry is hard earned and proudly displayed, a silver bullet to the jewels is NOBODY'S idea of a good time. The Naked Solo Sledless Iditarod is much preferred to any firearms altercation; when's the last time you read about a Werewolf Attack in the news? Not since the 1800;s!

The most famous, or perhaps notorious incidence that I know of - Beast(s) of Gévaudan. BTW, @Werewolf by Night - note the mention of a Hyena as one possible candidate for the Beast.

 

BTW, I forget exactly what the issue is, but apparently, it's not possible to make a true, serviceable, silver bullet. Silver nitrate treatment on conventional ammo; maybe? Junk silver stuffed down the barrel of a blunderbuss; points for anachronism, I guess.

 

I have to say, that's one hell of a curse. For a vampire, all you need is sharp stick FFS! It's almost embarrassing to think that you have to melt down the family silver to kill a werewolf, but you can take out the Count with a broken-off broom handle. Where's the respect?

I don't need to kill any vampire or werewolf, I never leave the house after dark, and if I do. My buddy Gunner (a 120 lb German Shepard) across the street who has guns for teeth and refuses to take his medications, is always handy to protect his buddy, the guitar picker across the street (me). Deal with that you nasty werewolf. He even fights Javelina's by the half dozen in his long desert walks to protect his mommy. (Javelina's are some pretty nasty items here in the Sonoran Desert)🤣😁👍

Silver bullets can't kill a werewolf or vampire I agree, But it can kill it's human host. Therefore the werewolf should tread lightly if it loves it's human. We live in the wild west here, we can carry firearms concealed in this state with just our Arizona state ID or drivers license. And we do not have a law which makes us retreat from danger if possible, no criminal can have us incarcerated for protecting ourselves. Anyone who shoots an attacker in self defense can not be sued financially here in lovely Az

Old silver dimes and quarters can be melted down so the silver melts at 1,614 degrees Fahrenheit, while the copper stays solid until the heat reaches 1,983 degrees.  By the way, lead melts at only 622 degrees.  So, if you have a friend that is a custom knifemaker, and does his own heat treating with a high heat furnace, all you need is a bullet mold and some old coins, and voila, you have werewolf stoppers.  And remember: 

“Even a man who is pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms,
And the moon is full and bright.”

 

Wolfbane isn't going to be blooming until April, so we are in the werewolf off-season right now.

I also have a vampire stake made out of stabilized maple.  For those of you who are not familiar with stabilized wood, it is normal wood that has all the moisture sucked out by a very strong vacuum, and then it is impregnated thoroughly under tremendous pressure with a polyester resin.  The result is wood that cannot warp, rot, crack, or splinter.

 

The whole story behind Count Dracula, the vampire, traces back to Vlad the Impaler, a ruler of Romania back in the 1400's.    In the centuries that followed Vlad's death, the belief in vampires was strong in some parts of Europe.  Back then, when somebody died, their body wasn't embalmed, it was just placed in a wooden coffin and buried.  If someone was suspected of being a vampire shortly after they died, sometimes their body would be dug up to see if they became a vampire.  If they were freshly dead, often times the blood in their body would rupture at the lips, giving the impression that they came back from the dead to suck the blood of some victim.  According to legend, the way to kill a vampire is to drive a stake through its heart during daylight hours, when the vampire is most vulnerable.  A fairly fresh dead body will have gases building up in the lungs from decomposition, so if someone were to drive a stake through the lungs and into the heart, the chest compression would force the gas buildup  into the throat, past the vocal cords, and out the mouth.  This usually resulted in the body making some sort of "aaaahhhhh" sound if the vocal cords were still intact.  Thus, the belief in vampires lasted for generations, as vampire killers could tell story after story of how the vampire let out one last death moan as the stake in the heart put a permanent end to the bloodsucker.

I use epoxy resin when I glass a surfboard, stronger than polyester and less toxic. It may not matter on a vampire stake, but if esthetics are important, epoxy is less prone to yellowing.🇹🇩

But is the epoxy resin just coating the exterior of the surfboard, or do you put the entire surfboard into a large chamber which forces the resin inside the board?  Plus, the resin used in stabilizing wood can be dyed in many different colors (for instance, my vampire stake is a soft faded black which allows the woodgrain to be seen), and can be buffed to a high gloss.  I'm surprised that some custom guitar makers don't use stabilized wood for necks or bodies.  Yeah, it's expensive, and adds a bit of weight, but a neck that cannot warp sounds pretty enticing.

Now, that could be a trick AND a treat!

We can tint and do a gloss coat with epoxy. We don't gloss normally, because it's extra weight. We sand with 400 grit, which gives enough shine.

I don't think there's any way to force the resin into the foam. If they could they wouldn't need a laminator, and be out of a job.😢

I once shaped and glassed my own boards, I used foam from a famous California blank builder (I long ago forgot the name of the company who produced it)  I learned it from Hank Byzak who had a shop in Solana Beach Ca called Pure Fun Surfboards. For some reason he owed me some money and instead of taking the cash I asked him to teach me how to shape and glass, which he did and he did it well.

 

I don't think glassing a spear to kill a werewolf would work as well as a ton of garlic all crushed up and and a dump truck filled with the garlic dumped  all over the werewolf. and then spray it with the garlic juice every fifteen minutes until dawn breaks.😅

They have white ash and white oak vampire stakes, I would go with the oak, ash is endangered.

Personally I'm a none violent person and would try to avoid any conflict with vampires or werewolves.vps-as331-11_orig.thumb.jpg.1c1a60526d7b4458cd6af16449a46d04.jpgvps-wo302-11-35_orig.thumb.jpg.7d0ed3c01dd340c3fc2161121e8acf9f.jpg

You're confusing werewolves with vampires.  A wooden spear would not harm a werewolf, although it would really ruin the day for the poor sap who was afflicted with lycanthropy when he/she was not a werewolf.  Likewise, garlic, mirrors, and crosses mean nothing to a werewolf.

I really don't give a rip about the details of this topic. To me it was only a big joke to answer with nonsensical humor. I don't need to take any of this subject seriously. None of what I said above is meant with serious meaning.  Just a little bit of humor. I was an old hippy at the original Woodstock event so I am familiar with the unseen and unheard, still none of it effects me, I live in the magical Sonoran Desert. Life is a gas............

I beg to differ- I LOVE garlic; garlic means a LOT to me! Mirrors are useful, and Celtic Crosses in particular are beautiful works of art.

All this talk of unfinished steaks; I do prefer a good steak to be medium-rare or even a bit on the rare side... especially with a lot of roasted garlic. Yum!

But of course! Same here. Just Halloween seasonal fun. And I love wolves and dogs and foxes and many of their kind... I usually get along with and bond with dogs VERY well (as do many people; particularly as dogs are specialists and experts in that). The few times I've known wolf-dog hybrids, even more so. (I do NOT condone the deliberate breeding and sale of wolf-dog hybrids, however!! !!)

My arrival in this world was a bit later than yours, but not by too much. I was seven years old when I was listening to the Allman Bro's and the Grateful Dead nearby Summer Jam Festival. And I've had many... unusual, even somewhat paranormal experiences over the years ever since early childhood, that were not drug-induced; I just don't try to claim to fully understand, explain or bank on them the way some people do- you know the con-artist, parasite types that prey on people... But I digress. It's a vast universe with lots of room for wonder and fun alike.
