Trivia
Prior to Repentance, this item's description was "Kills heal"- If the player clears out a room and saves at least one enemy, they can save, quit, and then continue the run to enter the same room with enemies reset. The counter for Charm of the Vampire is saved along with the game, meaning the player can farm the same room for Red Hearts.
- This item is used in Have a Heart (challenge #25).
- A vampire is a being from folklore who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living.
