| THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO KILLING MONSTERS | |
| Worried
about the impending zombie apocalypse? Did a vampire move into your
neighbourhood? Did you go camping, only to find that a pack of
werewolves is roaming the KOA? Has your interest in archeology put you
on the wrong side of ancient curse? Has your beach party turned into a
blood bath? Never fear! If you keep your head and stock up on the right equipment, you will be well-prepared to handle any of the common infestation of monsters. |

| How to Kill Vampires | |
 |
Keep in mind that
Vampires are strong, and fast. They
can hide in shadows, hypnotize you, and sometimes can change their form
in the blink of an eye. It seems that nothing will sway them from their
prey...ripe, blood-filled humans. How do you defend yourself against
something that can pick up a VW Beetle and throw it at you, or
dissipate into mist? First of all, keep your distance. If you're religious, you can brandish a blessed holy item of your religion to keep the vampire at bay (at least two arms length is preferred) allowing you to reach for your weapon of choice and take aim. Don't just take aim, of course, take heart! That is, take the heart of the vampire, if you can. The usual method is to drive a sharp wooden object (often referred to as a stake, but a broken chair leg will do nicely in a pinch.) Vampires are allergic to wood, and laugh off metal projectiles such as bullets, so your weapon has to be made of wood (preferably raw wood that does not have a veneer). Make sure your aim is true, though! Vampries can heal almost any injury save the destruction of the heart muscle or decapitation. If you really want to make sure that the vampire is truly dead (and trust me, you really do), burn the body. Fire will destroy the vampire's body, and actually release its trapped soul so that it will transmigrate to the next world. Killing a vampires is actually saving him! Note: Many vampre hunters will make the mistake of spending WAY too much time tyring to find where a vampire sleeps during the day... and then open a window to let the sunshine in. Are they kidding? Your best choice of weaponry is a combination of crossbow outfitted with wood quarrels and a nice, big flamethrower. Fwoosh! |
| How to Kill Werewolves | |
 |
Like
vampires, werewolves
are very, very strong and fast, so keep your distance! They come in a
couple of different varieties: those that metamorph from human to full
lupine, and those that go halfsies, transforming into a man-wolf. Both varieties of Werewolves are highly allergic to silver, which acts like an antibiotic against the lycanthrope virus. You can easly wound a werewolf with a silver fork, but we're talking about killing the monster here, so go ahead and get some silver bullets and a nice high-caliber gun. If you don't know where to buy silver bullets, do this: 1) go to a fancy restaurant and steal as much of the silverware as possible; 2) go to the library and check out a book on how to smelt metal and make bullets (it's totally easy, actually); make at least 12 silver bullets (one can never have too many); 3) visit your local gun range and practice, practice, practice! As with vampires, you'll want your FIRST shot to destroy the heart of the werewolf. (A blow that destroys the head is just as effective.) Werewolves can also be destroyed by fire, so keep that flamethrower handy! |
| How to Kill Mummies | |
 |
Mummies are really just old corpses, animated by ancient spells to protect tombs and kill people who would desecrate them. Wwrapped in bandages, they are highly inflammable. When "researchers" from England raped Egypt of its treasures in the late 19th Century, they actually used mummy bodies as kindling. Poor Pharaoh! Don't waste your time reading the Book of the Dead to find the right spell that will stop a mummy. Just hoist your handy flamethrower and burn, baby, burn! |
| How to Destroy the Frankenstein's Monster | |
 |
Frankenstein's
monster has been torched, frozen,
buried... and still will show up at dinner parties uninvited. You can
try to burn him with your flamethrower, but the tissue of his body is
so resilient that he might get you before he's totally consumed by
flame. If that happens, you'll enjoy being burned alive while he
crushes your windpipe - either way, no fun! My suggestion (this will take some advanced planning on your part): The Lure-Trick-Trip-and-Sizzle. Prepare a large vat of acid. The Frankenstein Monster loves watching flowers float like pretty little boats, and will also follow a little girl anywhere (which raises his creep factor up several notches) so lure him to your acid vat by dressing as Heidi, carrying a bouquet of daisies. Toss the daisies into you vat, and as he goes to fetch them, trip the Frankenstein Monster with a transparent wire in front of the rim of the vat! No mo' monsto! |

| How to Kill Zombies | |
 |
There are two
kinds of zombies: Voodoo zombies, which
are actually entranced LIVE people who follow hypnotic commands, and
virus zombies, which are animated corpses trying to fend off their
inevitable decay by ingesting the flesh of live humans.(So far, there's
no reason to believe that eating flesh will actually stop them from
falling apart after a few days.) Voodoo zombies are kind of annoying... but they usually don't roam the countryside in packs looking for human brains, as to space-virus zombies who are back from the dead and ready to party - again, ON HUMAN FLESH. Thankfully, zombies are, by and large, slow moving...but they're relentless )and surprisingly strong for decaying bodies). The easiest way to stop a zombie is to blow its head off with a shot gun. You've been at the fireing range practicing your aim against werewolves, so you should be a pretty dang good shot by now! Because zombies are very social, you know that if if you see one, then you can bet that there's at least five more in the immediate vicintiy. Ahhh! Don't be scared! This is where you can have a lot of fun! Use your handy flamethrower to shoot a wide dispersal of fire, burning as many zombies as you can, and then get some marshmallows, put them on sticks, and toast them over the flaming bodies. |

| How to Kill Manfish | |
  |
Manfish
- such as the Creature of the Black Lagoon or the grape-mouth
horrors
of party beach - can really ruin your fun in the sun. There you are
with your friends playing volleyball & bikini-dancing
to this
kickin' surf band... and these slimy, scaly things with webbed claws
rise from the depths to ruin EVERYTHING. You can't have that! Whenever you go to the beach - or a tropical lagoon for that matter - along with your cooler of Smirnoff Ice, hot dogs & bottles of sunblock, make sure you also bring a large bottle of chemical potassium. Yes, potassium is found in bananas, and is good for muscle fatigue, but what you really want is the kind that will put the ache on the Manfish. As you see the Manfish emerge, toss the Potassium into the water. Potassium is highly reactive with water, will explode, destroy the oxygen, and leave hydrogen behind. The Manfish that aren't blown to pieces in the explosion will suffocate! |
