CRYSTOBAL, Gothic Artist has been creating unusual works for many years, from props and sets for haunted castle walk-throughs and devilish theme parties to individual works of three-dimensional art of all kinds.
Perhaps CRYSTOBAL is most famous (or infamous) for his Vampire Killing Kits. Inspired by a real kit on display at Ripley's Believe it or Not in St. Augustine, Florida, the artist created his first kit for himself. As time went on, friends began to inquire about the unusual piece, and he was soon creating kits for collections and stage shows.

ONE OF CRYSTOBAL'S FIRST VAMPIRE KILLING KITS, C. 1959
INCLUDES A 100 YEAR OLD BIBLE, ANTIQUE CRUCIFIX & VINTAGE BOTTLES |
CRYSTOBAL is a recluse, and a very unusual kat indeed. In his days he's written horror stories, built antique-style furniture, and customized hot rods. He would create unbelievable stuff from his workshop in the depths of the South Jersey Pine Barrens, and claims to have encountered the Jersey Devil on two occasions. He firmly believes he is haunted by several spirits, including his father's. |

MARQUIS FOR THEATER OF BLOOD, HORROR-THEMED HALLOWEEN AWARD PARTY |
I had the honor of meeting the incredibly talented artist, known only as CRYSTOBAL, many years ago. He agreed to build several sets and props for StarDust Productions, mainly for our Halloween Shows. I still have some of those pieces today, including his personal Vampire Killing Kit. CRYSTOBAL still haunts our plane of existence, but lives in seclusion and prefers to remain anonymous. He occasionally creates a new pieces, selling them to friends or on Ebay. If anyone is interested in having a custom Vampire Killing Kit made for them, please contact me at chris@stardustmysteries.com, and I'll pass along the message.
Custom made kits start at $400
