By far the easiest way to kill a vampire is via direct sunlight. Even before the
first vampire became a vampire, he was cursed to forever have to hide
from the sun. Any skin of a vampire that comes in contact with direct
sunlight will be severely burned.
There is a certain
vampire book series popular with today's youth that insists that
vampires can, in fact, be in direct sunlight. Rather than burn, their
skin supposedly sparkles. While I don't want to burst anyone's dreamy
fantasies, this is simply not true. Vampires burn in sunlight. Always
have, always will.
I say that sunlight is the easiest way to kill a
vampire because all you have to do is get them in direct sunlight for
about 10 seconds or so. Actually getting one into direct sunlight is
not so easy. This is where being smart helps. If you can somehow trick
or trap a vampire in a place where they will eventually be exposed to
direct sunlight, you're golden. The problem with this plan is that
vampires are very fast, very strong, and generally very smart. They
aren't going to simply let you stick them in a place where they don't
want to be and stay there.
The nice part about sunlight is that it
shows up daily. If you can survive through the night and make it
somewhere where you can see the sun, you're probably safe. The problem
is this usually means you have to be outside prior to the sun rising,
which pretty much just makes you a prime target for a hungry vampire.
Still, if you can wait out the night until morning, find the brightest
path to safety and move quickly.
