got to wait for my confirmation... vampires die from silver?
False!

Many people today are familiar with the idea of silver bullets being used to kill vampires, but a generation ago this was not widely understood. Silver shot was used or recommended against various supernatural creatures over the centuries (famously including the werewolf), but there is no association with vampires until 1928 when rogue priest and self-styled vampire hunter Montagu Summers’ penned his notoriously unreliable The Vampire: His Kith and Kin.
This is likely to have been a confusion with werewolf folklore – Bram Stoker certainly conflated the two beings in his seminal Dracula thanks to his limited familiarity with vampire folklore. Although the 1959 Universal film Curse of the Undead does feature a vampire being staked with silver, a silver bullet was not used in fiction until Peter Cushing melted down a silver cross in Hammer’s Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974) and moulded it into a bullet.
The basis in folklore is lacking, however. It’s not until the late 20th century that we find a reference to a quartered silver coin fired from a shotgun. Around the same time John Steakley’s novel Vampire$ started a new trend for silver-loaded pistols which translated into the movies, and the rest is history."
Elves assholes? true?
