Completely tangential to this excellent thread, i want to bring up one of my hobbyhorses, which is: there's absolutely no reason to think that vampires wouldn't show up in digital photos or reflect in modern mirrors, just like normal people.https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1269356227596816384 …

Dracula 2000 emphasizes the connection to silver (because Dracula is really Judas) But in that one Van Helsing explicitly calls Dracula "the man who casts no shadow"

Anyway I was mad at What We Do in the Shadows for weakening this weakness and having the vampires shocked and delighted they can see their "reflections" in a cell phone camera Then I realized it's a mockumentary and if it doesn't work like that it can't exist

Silver as a sovereign against evil is a lot older than Stoker, but it may be that the vampire-specific thing is newer.

I'm not saying the silver weakness is new, I'm saying the "no reflection rule" originates with Stoker and never had a clear tie to the silver weakness
