Vell, it comes frum ze story of ze Vampires....!

Legend has it that a vampire can only be killed by driving a stake through its heart, otherwise it will continue to live for eternity, wreaking havoc by drinking blood and turning others into vampires in the process.

Thus the expression has come to mean finding a way to solve an otherwise apparently unsolvable problem, once and for all.
