Washington, September 14 (ANI): Actress Kristen Stewart is reportedly so scared of vampires that she keeps a huge stock of garlic at home to keep them at bay.

The ‘Twilight’ star, who plays Bella Swan in the hit vampire series, was said to be so terrified of the mythological blood-sucking creatures that she hangs pouches of the foodstuff on her bedroom door.

The 19-year-old even keeps an emergency stash in her car, according to sources.

The ‘Twilight’ actress, who plays Bella in the vampire film franchise, is so terrified of the mythical blood-sucking creatures she festoons her home with cloves of garlic in an attempt to deter them.

“People are always remarking how smelly it is, but Kristen doesn’t care,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling National Enquirer magazine.

“She’s been afraid of vampires for years, even before she signed up to do the movies, and read somewhere that garlic is supposed to repel them,” the source added. (ANI)
