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 …

There is a tradition that's kind of the exact opposite - you turn mirrors around or remove them from a room with a corpse, because seeing its own reflection might *cause* a corpse to rise and attack you

I think what it came down to in Stoker's novel is that the scene where Dracula grabs Jonathan Harker's shaving mirror and shatters it in a panic *feels* very authentic - that an evil creature would hate and fear mirrors, fear the idea of seeing the truth about themselves
