It's not entirely clear - Lucy was destroyed by staking, with the head chopping and garlic stuffing as an afterthought, while Dracula was dealt with by simultaneously stabbing through the heart and decapitated.

On a slightly different topic, how's this for an alternate version of Twilight?

I personally liked this version.

Ceres for the win.

Fuck Alucard

Now Alucard, there is a vampire that doesn't care about getting shot with regular bullets.

I thought that in the lore from which Stoker took, staking was a means to incapacitate the vampire... but unless decapitated and the mouth stuffed with garlic, remocal of the stake meant the vampire was able to become active again.

I don't remember exactly, but I think that was something added to allow for a sequel (which may not have been written by Stoker). I do remember something where they unstaked dracula and he materialized to wreck more havok.

Fixed. Alucard was the only issue I had with Helsing. Oh, Alucard got blown to chunks again, so what, he'll just reform. The anime lampshaded his indestructability nicely during his battle with Luke Valentine.

"Nobody is THAT immortal."

Love it.

This is a much better than the original. I read a good chapter and by the end of that chapter I could no longer feel my chest from the laughter.
