vampire hunters

Undead creature stalkers

Vampire hunters are people who track and kill vampires in folklore and fiction.

The concept appears across cultures but became iconic through Gothic literature and horror films, where hunters pursue the undead with stakes, garlic, holy water, and sunlight.

The term sometimes applies to obsessive pursuers of any threat: He approached the investigation like a vampire hunter.
