Elkridge, MD (April 15, 2004) - There are not a lot of ways to kill a vampire. While decapitation and exposure to direct sunlight will do, the preferred method of most Vampire Slayers throughout the ages has always been a good old-fashioned wooden stake through the heart. Of course, any sharp and pointy wooden object can be used- a pencil, a table leg, a pool cue - but there's just no substitute for a well-whittled stake to rid yourself of that undead pest.

Soon, you can bring home a stake of your own, as Factory X's Slayer's Stake is currently shipping from the factory. A striking prop replica that pays tribute to the Slayers who've kept the world safe from evil all through the millennia, Factory X's Slayer's Stake is made of actual, hand-carved wood. The piece itself comes in a handsome satin-lined, black wooden box, adorned with an attractive brass plaque, and the inside of the lid features the now-famous words, "Into every generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a chosen one..."

While the artisans at Factory X had numerous stakes to choose from, they opted to replicate of one of the earliest stakes used on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Featured prominently in the show's first season, this stake was also used extensively in promotional shots for the show.

Expect the Slayer's Stake to arrive within the next month, when it will be made available for purchase at fine retailers worldwide, as well as in the shop at www.FactoryX.com.
