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.

Think the first guy got salt and rice confused, but the counting thing is definitely part of vampire lore. Lowkey part of the inspiration for the Count from Sesame Street.
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.
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.
The Count counts because he is The Count... Only in Chinese folklore do 'vampires' have to count grains of rice when they come across them. The Count on sesame Street is based off of western vampires that do not involve any lore about counting at all.

@@cargo_vroom9729 I think the implication is that someone put it together relatively recently using a hodge-podge of items from various times, rather than it being an authentic box that was compiled during that time, which makes it relatively worthless for a pawn shop aside from that pistol, apparently.

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.
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!
I don’t get why the gun being older than the purported date means it’s fake. If I was making a vampire hunting kit I’d probably use a cheap gun. THAT SAID, vampire hunting kits are pretty much a 20th century novelty invention, so either way the thing is newer than claimed lol
I think the idea was that if the kit was made by someone who truly thought they would hunt vampires, they would want the best gun they could afford, since it could be life or death. I do think it's a really cool novelty item, but it seems that guy purchased it believing it to be a real kit.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Pizzas ordered and sent there for "John Battletoad". Crank calls. So they got super pissed off that i wrote that on the invoice.
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?

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.

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🤷♀️
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.
I loved the show growing up. Me and my grandfather would laugh everytime the old man would come on because of how much he reminded us of my great grandfather. This show is special to me lol.
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!
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!!!
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.

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 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
06:45 i did this for real with someone ive known for 18yrs..... we were kids and that rude joking was just the thing to do, we're almost thirty now.... he said something i cant even remember and i hit him with the realest "do you like me, havent i respected you, dont you respect me, this is how i feel......." its been chill ever since
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.
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. 😉
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

2:05 the way Edmondo says vampire is sick af. He's creepy
I loved the show growing up. Me and my grandfather would laugh everytime the old man would come on because of how much he reminded us of my great grandfather. This show is special to me lol.
17:00 😂😂😂😂😂 Rick's exposed back 😂😂😂😂
Is it the new kids on the block?
@@PricelessBinkey1337 Their heads are fuckin warped
Rick reminds me of the little gate keeper guy in Robots the way he gives false hope in interest then does his lil chuckle
...as though the concept of vampires and the undead didn't exist before Bram Stoker? Bullshit
Yes, it did. But he refered to specific stuff like the mirror, things that comes from Bram Stokers book.
Weren’t vampires a legend like… before 1890
Adam's first wife "Lillith" is said to be the first vampire....So, Yes!
I thought I had a bad day at work, but then I saw Chris James had to cover this episode of pawn stars.
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
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?
Shoutout to the most legit content creators - who wear different clothes during the sponsored ad.
Awesome vid as usual.
10/10 Mr.James
Nothing says Halloween like a pawn stars special!
Whoa Chris James drop!! You know i'm here for it!!!
you sure are pal! one of the things on the days of all time for sure. treasure this moment
3:01 with those eye brows I wouldn’t be surpass If he was a vampire
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!!!
17:54 u found me 💀
👅 oh yeah 😈
The salt thing is actually pretty accurate to Wallachian folklore, but did you know vampires can’t cross a moving stream?
The random employee looking the lens catching a stray had me dying.
You legit deserve SO many more subscribers and views. Thank you for the laughs
RIP old man.
And Adam!
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.
Love your channel, love the satire humor. I’m subscribed with the bell on but not been getting notifications anymore 🤷🏻♀️.
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.
Yaaaay, was just rewatching your vids last night!
Expert: this goes for anywhere between $1800-2500
Rick: how about $35 and a coupon for Fuddruckers
ohhhhh yeah boy!
consistent Chris with the uploads! 💪🏽👌🏽
The picture of the bus exhaust pipe when Rick laughs gets me every time
Chris deadass read my mind I thought Rick was supposed to be a fencer 😭😭
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
06:45
i did this for real with someone ive known for 18yrs..... we were kids and that rude joking was just the thing to do, we're almost thirty now....
he said something i cant even remember and i hit him with the realest "do you like me, havent i respected you, dont you respect me, this is how i feel......."
its been chill ever since
Nice, love a chris James vid
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who occasionally wants to watch WW2 documentaries like it’s a pregnancy craving.
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.
''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
They've also got a Christmas Episode of Pawn Stars. Which is Hilarious to watch 😂. That's why these videos you make are Exactly. 💯
pls cover hardcore pawn :)
Sweet thanks for the upload been watching all your old videos for days
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.
Bro the ghost adventures intro killed me at 9:09
who else is watching in 1827??
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. 😉
Hello Chris, this is Diddy. Please oil up lil bro. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your unoriginal
@@porshiapierce6253 you're*
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
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
17:50 Never thought I'd be so called out on a Chris James video but hello I'm an age regressor lol
That’s not something to be proud of 😬
@@sarvahnamontano6252 age regression is not age play/pdf-ile/fetish. Regression is used as a therapy/coping mechanism. I have PTSD from incidents in my childhood that changed my life; going back over them in a safe environment is helping come to terms.
lol wtf Rick - research needed to know that characters name: Go to any Disney theme park and visit the Star Wars section.
There are tons of -named- toys, stuffed animals, etc of Salacious Crumb, alllll over the place.
“I’m here to sell my vampire kit.”
“Do you mind if I get my buddy down here quick? He’s a vampire hunter and will have a better idea than me what it’s probably worth.”
My wife and I wait for these to come out like we are waiting for a new tv show episode love it Chris!
Dude you were on fire this episode. Your best performance yet for me. I was dying at the old man impression.
My friend got me turned onto this channel. He said you and I have the same "smartass humor" with the same delivery. I can see it. Also awesome that you like history, I majored in history in college.
when he said " HEY ..HEY!! " and snapped i had just stared to fall asleep and i jumped awake,it scared the shit out of me i thought he was actually talking to me for a second before i fully shook the sleepy out of my brain...
That thing about vampires and counting grains of salt is a real thing people believed.
The vampire kit looked cool but the 15:20 guys face is like I shouldn't have put a petina on it.
