Dracula was killed with a Bowie Knife and Ghurka knife in the book. Stabed in the heart, and his throat slit. Then he was beheaded and burned along with his three wives. The flying thing two,and shape shifting. Dracula sould levitate, and fly when he shifted into a bat. He could shift into a wolf as well. In modern some modern vampire stories they have em taking of like superman,LOL. As in the next to last episode of TrueBlood. Just a bit much I think. But I dig it anyway.
Honesty the sun would be the worst. Does anybody realise that the stake wouldn't work on a twilight vamp either? You have to tear apart the vampire and burn it.

In all the oldest vampire litrature from The Phantom World by Augustine Calmet. Vampires come out by night and day. However they are destoyed by being cut up and burned. In John Polidoris the Vampypre,Lord Ruthven walks in the day, and attacks people at night. When killed his body is resurected by moonlight. What is moonlight but reflected Sunlight. Carmilla regularly came out each day at noon. Dracula could do so as well, only during the day Dracula did not have his magic powers so he did not go into the day unless the situation was desperate. The first image of a Vampire burning in the Sun comes from Nosferatu a silent film. The Vampire going poof on film with with the rise of the sun,and the special effects of gunpowder, was something audiences loved. It's only logical that with the advance in special effects the more spectacular the flame out. Films created Vampires that burn when exposed to sunlight. The truth is that Vampires are fictional so what ever vampire mythos you believe in is the real one.
I don't believe the sun kills vamps, but if it did, I think it would be worse than a stake, basically roasting alive, that's gotta hurt!

I, too, do not believe that the sun kills vamps (I have a tendency of correcting people on that, which some see as a "know it all" thing of me to do).
I agree with you, Cary. Although, I think being looked away and unable to feed would be worse then dying.

1)i always thought of sun as bing burnt on the spot into a little pile of ash in a matter of seconds...2)sun doesn't work if ur twilight!!!
Stake would be much, much worse. I don't know if it would be more painful, but someone has to stake you through the heart, so if you get staked, you lose both your dignity, and your undead life. In other words, you lose.
sun is my choice. Also they way Claudia tried to kill Lestat in "interview" looked kinda bad.
Also the way blade killed the blood god in the first movie had to hurt also.
