The vampire kit looks like a straight up movie prop. It all looks hand crafted and curated. Like i dont think id spend a week carving a wooden stake and putting jewels and stuff in it if i was just gonna use it to stab a vampire and get it covered in blood and guts.
Yeah that's basically what they are. It's a thing, people would take real antiques and put them in a box and go "oooh vampire hunting kit" to sell them
Even the actual Victorian 'vampire hunting kits' were novelty items. They do exist, I have one, but they were the equivalent of getting a Pirates of the Caribbean sword and costume at the Disney gift shop. They were made as display pieces for fun and just cobbled together by merchants with whatever they had lying around. (Like decades old guns.)
Here pretty early so commenting before i fully watch it but, vampire killing kits were actually almost all made to look like they were older than they were because no one actually used them. They were sold as a thing to be like "wow look at this wacky thing people used to do!" And not as an actual, er, protection? Thing.

The hole thing with them then setting up the ghost hunting stuff was so staged that even me as a child would be like hold up is the hole show staged, lol.
There's something very funny about not buying a vampire killing kit because it's not "real". No shit dude. That doesn't mean its not an interesting example of 19th century cosplay post-Stoker. The exact choice of pistol doesn't really matter in that context. They picked one that looked cool...and that no one was using because it was obsolete? The pistol doesn't tell you when it WAS made. Because it's a prop.

Dracula may be from the 1890s, but Vampires have been in European folklore for much longt. Even the editor says the word entered the English language in 1730s
Even older they have found beheaded corpses with a rock in the mouth, corpses with a stone in the chest cavity, ECT. All dating back to the early 1550's. So you are exactly right the folklore is wayyy older than a fictional novel. And if you want to add in Vladd the impaler that's another century. 1460-70's and had notoriety in the 1500's.
The guy with the vampire kit owns and operates a vampire museum in Doylestown, PA called Vampa! He really bounced back from this disappointment and hopefully learned a lot in the process!
With as many Deadliest Warrior episodes you’ve covered I think you need to review Animal Planet’s “Animal Face-Off” same concept and layout as Deadliest Warrior but it pitted two animals against each other in a simulation. With episodes like: tiger vs bear, elephant vs rhino, or hippo vs bullshark
20 year Game Master here, Salt as a tool for escape does work, multiple lores say that vampires must compulsively count whatever is in front of them...its why Seasame Streets Vampire is called The Count and...well...counts everything
But he’s also notoriously GOOD at counting, so dumping salt or rice in front of a vampire just turns them in to Rainman for a brief second as they instantly count all the grains, then summon lightning and thunder, and continue on their way.
Some kid jumped into a game I was playing online yesterday and kept saying "what's up skibidis" and calling everyone "alphas". I was like man I'm too old for this shit. Felt like Danny Glover in lethal weapon lol
Who takes ghost-hunting equipment to a pawn shop when you can probably sell it in a week on eBay? There’s someone out there looking to play Phasmophobia irl and they aren’t looking in pawn shops lol
That ghost hunting kit was a bit of a joke, and while people will spend large amounts for certain pieces of equipment to fake things. None of those pieces were them. So they would have to find somebody extremely gullible to find it, particularly since none of it is worth what they wanted for it, by very long shot.
Pawn Stars is so engaging! What could be as exciting as people haggling over price in a pawn shop, other than maybe seeing folks shopping for deodorant or doing laundry.
He hasn’t been in trouble for drugs since 2016 and as far as I can tell it was never described as a raging addiction, he was more in trouble for the weapons and the drugs were an incidental find. Seems like he’s had a pretty good 2024 and has a successful and happy life. Also I didn’t look into all their net worth’s but his is estimated at $5mil and he’s apparently got a few successful business to his name so he’s nowhere near as incompetent, at least in terms of his own business pursuits, as he seems or portrays. I do love a good harmless conspiracy theory, this is more in reply to the other replies. Seems like he had a low period nearly a decade ago but has consistently, at least publicly, pulled himself up since🤷♀️
The employees complaining about having to wear a costume and then Rick being annoyed saying why they have to do the costume thing, kinda breaks the whole illusion of them being the "fun pawn shop," no? Lol You know the producers forced that on them, and probably picked out the costumes for all of them. Which makes the dude at the end 100% correct 😂
Most vampire legends are directly linked to the church selling things. Like silver comes from the church just so happening to have a silver mine gifted them. They actually sold kits. So this being at a pawn store is on brand.
I literally went and googled if the "salt theory" on Vampires was true and its not. That man clearly watched Supernatural where there is a running gag where Angels and Demons both really seem to hate salt because if you draw a circle of salt around them theyre trapped because for whatever biblical reason they cant escape it the way a Mime can trap you in a box.
@Gatorbilly-o7 It's possible that it's due to a similar mythological demon or being in Asian culture which then combined when Christians brought their religion to those Asian countries. I know Japan has it vampire phase you can see a lot of things in the Vampire Anime. A lot of it based on draining essence in multiple ways. Never knew about rice counting but I bet you could find myths that do count rice as a method to stop them and you probably find a few similar things to vampires which would show a potential link to them combined. Never knew that some demons counted rice that is pretty interesting.
I still remember my warehouse job where I was the guy who fulfilled and sent them all of their orders for memorabilia, sports cards, coin, and currency protectors. One day, i wrote "Battletoads!!!" on the invoice. They threw a fkn fit, and i almost got fired. That whole Battletoads episode really got the internet to go at them. Pizzas ordered and sent there for "John Battletoad". Crank calls. So they got super pissed off that i wrote that on the invoice.
On the show *Supernatural,* there was an episode with fairies who were OCD and had to count every grain of salt and/or sugar spilled in front of them. I get a lot of my lore knowledge from that show.
What's spookier than Pawn Stars? The apocalypse! Watch Discovery's 2009 series "The Colony", which is about a group of people pretending they're living after a societal collapse caused by a virus.
Vampires dont have to be real for people to make/sell vampire hunting gear. XD But yea, the reason The Count from Sesame Street counts is because thats an old folk lore weakness to vampires. Like not being able to cross running water, or a threshold without invitation.

The Victorians: destroy priceless historical artifacts and break Medieval farm utensils to create forged sensational stuff, like the myth of medieval chastity belts and iron maidens being torture implements. Some 1980s hippie creating a fake vampire hunting kit destroys a Victorian 15$000 gun. The real Victorians would be proud!!!
9k for a Vampire Hunting Kit? We have an oddities & antiques shop in my area where you can buy an authentic Catholic exorcism kit for $350! Sounds like a much better bargain to me! Lol You should cover the series "Oddities San Francisco." It's like Pawn Stars with weird/creepy stuff!
I come for the Chris and I stay for the James. I love this channel so much bless you for all the joy and laughs you bring to me in these crazy times ❤❤
No it’s sort of true. Some cultures would put poppy seeds, millet, sand, or rice at graves and the vampires would have to count them. So Chris was wrong to say it was BS and it’s where the basis of The Count on Sesame Street comes from

Are we all just going to ignore big burtha at the 7:41 mark? bro is as far back as possible and still appears to be taking more from the camera then the woman.
I took a college course in vampires (yes, really) and the myth that vampires are obsessive-compulsive goes back centuries. In Greece they believed you should put an animal hide on your door to buy yourself time as the vampire would have to count each individual hair.
Starting the day after my grandmother died, at 6 30am, 7 days in a row, a black shadowy figure walked into view of the garage camera the exact path she walked to her car every morning to go to work. The figure "gets in" the would be car and backs out and heads off as if going to work. 7 days in a row then never again. Very see through, very faint, almost cloudy. You can imagine how i felt. I took care of her till the end then that shit! Fudged me up for a bit. This is 100% true. But that doesn't mean jack to you as the reader for good reason. Having your own experience that you know is real will morph your opinion of what's possible.
Dude, you have no idea how happy I getllit makes me to see a new Chris James video. The fact it's weeks, maybe months old by then doesn't even matter, I still watch it. 😉
This is amazing, I was going on for like 15 minutes yesterday about Salacious Crumb. He is my spirit animal. "A Kowakian monkey-lizard with a shrill cackle, Salacious Crumb sat on Jabba's dais, stealing bits of food and mimicking the Hutt, his courtiers, and visitors. The Hutt's noxious pet was the palace's unofficial court jester, tolerated because his antics amused Jabba, and because of his unwavering support for his master." My husband is Jabba, I'm Salacious. Although I often forget his name and can only come up with Felonious Krump.
The vampires counting salt thing comes from the idea that came around later that vampires might be a type of fae/fairy. The original victorian kits mostly assumed vampires were demons, and I think the inclusion of the salt indicates that Rick is right that it's probably a 1980s-90s thing, since the idea that vampires were fae came around later than the victorian era

you sure are pal! one of the things on the days of all time for sure. treasure this moment
2:05 the way Edmondo says vampire is sick af. He's creepy
17:54 u found me 💀
👅 oh yeah 😈
The OCD thing is an actual vampire myth.
Interesting. A myth about a mythological entity. How can anyone prove that a creature based on myth, has or doesn't have OCD?
Every thing vampire related is a myth bud
You guys realize that nothing you said invalidates my point?
@@Duothimir you made it redundant lol.
@@johnwaynewireman5262 How would you phrase it then?
Love your channel, love the satire humor. I’m subscribed with the bell on but not been getting notifications anymore 🤷🏻♀️.
The random employee looking the lens catching a stray had me dying.
The Victorians: destroy priceless historical artifacts and break Medieval farm utensils to create forged sensational stuff, like the myth of medieval chastity belts and iron maidens being torture implements.
Some 1980s hippie creating a fake vampire hunting kit destroys a Victorian 15$000 gun.
The real Victorians would be proud!!!
Yaaaay, was just rewatching your vids last night!
They've also got a Christmas Episode of Pawn Stars. Which is Hilarious to watch 😂. That's why these videos you make are Exactly. 💯
ohhhhh yeah boy!
consistent Chris with the uploads! 💪🏽👌🏽
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who occasionally wants to watch WW2 documentaries like it’s a pregnancy craving.
3:01 with those eye brows I wouldn’t be surpass If he was a vampire
The picture of the bus exhaust pipe when Rick laughs gets me every time
RIP old man.
And Adam!
Bro the ghost adventures intro killed me at 9:09
9k for a Vampire Hunting Kit? We have an oddities & antiques shop in my area where you can buy an authentic Catholic exorcism kit for $350! Sounds like a much better bargain to me! Lol
You should cover the series "Oddities San Francisco." It's like Pawn Stars with weird/creepy stuff!
wth how u know that
Sweet thanks for the upload been watching all your old videos for days
Chris deadass read my mind I thought Rick was supposed to be a fencer 😭😭
You legit deserve SO many more subscribers and views. Thank you for the laughs
Nice, love a chris James vid
I come for the Chris and I stay for the James. I love this channel so much bless you for all the joy and laughs you bring to me in these crazy times ❤❤
2:56 I thought that was leprechauns?
No it’s sort of true. Some cultures would put poppy seeds, millet, sand, or rice at graves and the vampires would have to count them. So Chris was wrong to say it was BS and it’s where the basis of The Count on Sesame Street comes from
''Rick or Treat'' is a banger name for a Halloween special.
Nothing worse than seeing this or American pickers on history channel for the next 24 straight hours
I got a new badge of ❤’s 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I love your channel. I watch a lot of the debunkers. So nice to see you cover all the reality shows. you keep me laughing so hard! Thank you so much 😊
Are we all just going to ignore big burtha at the 7:41 mark? bro is as far back as possible and still appears to be taking more from the camera then the woman.
Shoutout to the most legit content creators - who wear different clothes during the sponsored ad.
Awesome vid as usual.
10/10 Mr.James
who else is watching in 1827??
7:23 it looks like they got a bone choker from some boho hippie 😭😭 an authentic one looks way better than whatever that thing is LOL
pls cover hardcore pawn :)
The salt thing is actually pretty accurate to Wallachian folklore, but did you know vampires can’t cross a moving stream?
I took a college course in vampires (yes, really) and the myth that vampires are obsessive-compulsive goes back centuries. In Greece they believed you should put an animal hide on your door to buy yourself time as the vampire would have to count each individual hair.
Vampires 🧛🏻♂️ can't see their image in mirrors because older mirrors had silver fragments, slivers in it.
Starting the day after my grandmother died, at 6 30am, 7 days in a row, a black shadowy figure walked into view of the garage camera the exact path she walked to her car every morning to go to work. The figure "gets in" the would be car and backs out and heads off as if going to work. 7 days in a row then never again. Very see through, very faint, almost cloudy. You can imagine how i felt. I took care of her till the end then that shit! Fudged me up for a bit. This is 100% true. But that doesn't mean jack to you as the reader for good reason. Having your own experience that you know is real will morph your opinion of what's possible.
Hello Chris, this is Diddy. Please oil up lil bro. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your unoriginal
@@porshiapierce6253 you're*
Dude, you have no idea how happy I getllit makes me to see a new Chris James video. The fact it's weeks, maybe months old by then doesn't even matter, I still watch it. 😉
This is amazing, I was going on for like 15 minutes yesterday about Salacious Crumb. He is my spirit animal. "A Kowakian monkey-lizard with a shrill cackle, Salacious Crumb sat on Jabba's dais, stealing bits of food and mimicking the Hutt, his courtiers, and visitors. The Hutt's noxious pet was the palace's unofficial court jester, tolerated because his antics amused Jabba, and because of his unwavering support for his master." My husband is Jabba, I'm Salacious. Although I often forget his name and can only come up with Felonious Krump.
I just laugh the goofiest laugh's ever whenever I watch what you post! 😂
Dude you were on fire this episode. Your best performance yet for me. I was dying at the old man impression.
My wife and I wait for these to come out like we are waiting for a new tv show episode love it Chris!
Chris! I’m at the airport laughing out loud and have strangers lookin at me! 😂😂😂😂 so funny! Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏
Idk why but the part about Rick being framed perfectly in the mirror sent me lol
I always get at least one big gut-laugh. Thx for that. It’s a gift. ❤
11:00 Great Mitch McConnell impression!
The vampire kit looked cool but the 15:20 guys face is like I shouldn't have put a petina on it.
The vampires counting salt thing comes from the idea that came around later that vampires might be a type of fae/fairy. The original victorian kits mostly assumed vampires were demons, and I think the inclusion of the salt indicates that Rick is right that it's probably a 1980s-90s thing, since the idea that vampires were fae came around later than the victorian era
That thing about vampires and counting grains of salt is a real thing people believed.
FINALLY MORE PAWN STARS!!! FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY. Thank you! ❤
