    Split Head Of Vampire Of Dusseldorf

    If you think this exhibit isn't creepy enough, wait till you hear his famous quote:
    "After my head has been chopped off, will I be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from my neck? That would be the best pleasure to end all pleasures."
    After his death, his head has been split to study his evil brain.
