Why does this method of killing a vampire work?
This is the method:
Step 1: Scatter salt on the floor of the vampires last victim. Help the vampire lead you to his/her room.
Step 2: Use garlic, hawthorn branches or a cross to trap your vampire preferably in a corner. Protect yourself from revenge by putting a cross on your front door made of tar.
Step 3: Pound iron stakes through the vampires coffin and straight into the ground if you catch him at rest, This should be done on a Friday, the early Greeks believed that that was when they were at their weakest.
Step 4: Bury his water under running water, vampires hate that.
Step 5: Fire a silver bullet blessed by a priest into his heart.
Step 6: Drive an aspen. Ash or a stake through his heart to make a lasting impression and to make sure.
Step 7: Pour boiling water/oil or holy water into his grave.
Step 8: Cremate his body or make a paste from his flesh for closure.
Why does this method work, its for my homework, a vampire hunters guidebook.
Because driving a stake through someone’s heart after shooting them would kill ANYbody.

Vampires that look like humans are not real on the Earth. We do have bats that are called Vampire bats, and no thay cannot turn you into a vampire.

Alright. I don’t believe in this stuff, but I enjoy studying mythology, so I’ll take your Q seriously.
These are actually several different methods that can be used to slay a vampire rather than one long process.
Salt is generally considered harmful to vampires and other supernatural creatures due to its association with the oceans. Both water and salt represent a physical manifestation of purity and life, therefore they repel and can even injure vampires. Garlic and hawthorn held similar significance in different cultures.
Pounding a wooden (or cold iron) stake into the corpse is a old tradition that dates back to several cultures. As a body just begins the process of decomposition, the major veins and arteries in the neck turn a very dark, nasty-looking red. This has the effect of appearing that blood is running down the throat. Ancient cultures believed that this was the result of a body getting up and drinking blood during the night, therefore, in order to make sure this couldn’t happen, the townsfolk would exhume the body then nail it to the coffin with stakes.
Once again, water is a symbol of purity and life, and in may cultures that vampire was the ultimate symbol of corruption and death. So if you immerse a vampire in water, the two opposites negate eachother, destroying the vampire.
The silver bullet: this myth also applies to many other supernatural baddies (lycanthropes for example). Silver was considered to have a link to the lunar goddess (of purity) in some ancient cultures. Therefore, piercing the creature with silver, especially blessed or otherwise enchanted silver, would snuff out the unholy life-force of the creature.
Aspen and Ash are holy to, I believe the Norse and the Druidic faith. The holy power of the trees can be used to banish evil in a number of ways. I think even certain evil deities could be killed by driving a stake of Ash into them.
Lastly, fire, especially after the Christian inquisition, is said to have a purifying effect. It literally burns away the evil (and doesn’t leave much left of the body either.)

um…..its bullshit it doesnt.
1. salt repels but doesnt kill (itll barely slow a vampire) as for scattering it on the floor of the last victim??? salt works due to its so called purity (dont ask me why)
2. depending on lore a vampire cant enter your house without permission and if it can protection on the front door wont help, also there is nothing that can "trap" a vampire cruxifixes only work if touching and even then they only hurt. a crucifix works because of its holy powers repel and harm vampires which are souless and evil, also becuase they are semi mystical creatures they may not be able to move over your homes threshold (hence they cant enter)
3. iron or a special wood (cant remember the type) also silver (depends on lore) can kill them if driven through the heart (depends on lore) nailing them to there coffin is what stakes are for. iron because it holds the fires of creation (must be pure) certain woods because they possess mystical abilities (depends on lore) and silver because it is a mystical metal that exists in both the mortal and immortal realms.
4. running water is meant to purify (ie clean you) hence vampires cant cross and placing a vampire in it should kill them, or if there corpse prevent there return.
5. eghhhhh itll hurt like hell but shouldnt kill the vampire
6. read number 3
7. um….again itll hurt but wont kill
8. cremate the body will prevent or at least help prevent the vampire returning as for the paste for closure thats not going to help. fire purifys
have fun
