I love how this implies that sunlight only hurts vampires if they know that sunlight is supposed to hurt them

It’s Loony Toons physics.

The BBC series Dracula really explores this trope in a really interesting way. Worth a watch without spoilering anything.

Why are nights cooler if reflected sunlight is just sunlight?

Love that this suggests that for vampires, it’s all in their head

Loony Toons logic. You won’t fall until you realize you should be falling.

That’s what Terry Pratchett’s Carpe Jugulum tells us. With sufficient exposure and willpower vampires (or “vampyres” as this more modern variety calls themselves) can become immune to sunlight and holy symbols!

Also a plot point of an older also amazing book (spoiler alert?)

!Richard Mattheson’s I Am Legend. Not even close to the same as the movie!<

Man, they’re all a fav. I’m finishing up a full read-through, and until The Embuggerance every book seemed better than the one before it. Even after The Embuggerance they’re still excellent.

GNU Terry Pratchett

Science: The poison is in the dose.

Language: It’s a good joke, I love it!
