HBO’s vampire-themed "True Blood" series was wildly popular in North America in 2008, its first year of airing. The program is just launching in New Zealand in 2009 on the Prime television station. To promote the edgy show, these cool 3-D "In Case of Vampire" promotional posters have been produced.
The boards are made to look like a ‘car for sale’ ad you see casually tacked up in the grocery store. Break-off wooden stakes hang beneath images depicting exactly where on the vampire’s body the spears should be thrust for the desired effect.
If you happen to be in a dire situation where you may need to defend yourself from a blood sucker, these wooden stakes could be useful--if they weren’t screwed down, that is.
