Vampire Hunter Me?

Me and the most beautiful woman in the world recently bought a house. A 1930s beach bungalow with a nice yard, plenty of room for improvement, bay view, and five minute walk to the beach. We've been here a month and I just found this spike tucked behind our fireplace wall. A 100% carved Vampire Spike for all my undead killing needs. This is no tent stake, someone took serious time carving it to a very fine and sharp point.

The yet to be named house, was a foreclosure so we know nothing about the people who lived here. Some of the locals tell us there was a large family who dwindled down to an old couple that enjoyed canning foods. We have no evidence of the canning, but for some odd shelves. We DO however; have some pretty rock solid evidence that they were BAD ASS vampire hunters.

I can picture granny now, pounding a spike into the undead using a jar of homemade preserves. Now I have to ask myself am I ready for the undead? I mean I got this spike but do I know how to use it? Could mild mannered ol' me weld this in home defense?? We'll lets hope it never comes to that, right. Everyone is worried about the zombies now a days but there is still the ever present threat of Vampire attack...thanks for the reminder granny.
