Stakes bloodsucker professionally

A vampire hunter is someone who tracks and kills vampires.

The term belongs primarily to horror fiction and folklore, where such figures wield stakes, garlic, holy water, and crucifixes against the undead: Van Helsing is fiction's most famous vampire hunter.

The concept extends to video games and films where hunting vampires is the central premise.
