[[UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject This combination actually keeps Dracula pinned in place for an entire night]]; only when the sun rises does he manage to tear himself free, via sheer survival instinct.

* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Bad Blood", Mulder tries to arrest Ronnie, a teenage vampire who tries to resist and fights quite hard. There is also a whole community of vampires coming to help Ronnie. Mulder spots some garlic bread sticks, grabs two of them and shapes them into a cross. It doesn't work, so he throws them at the people. That doesn't work either.

* One of Creator/EddieIzzard's early stand-up routines has him discussing whether or not a finger-cross would ward off a vampire, which would essentially make Dracula more of an annoyance that a terrifying monster. Also, if your crucifix has been broken and looks more like a T-sign, can you still use it to ward a vampire by holding it with your thumb stuck above it?
