Is there any reason to why Claudia cried real tears and not blood tears right before Louis turned Madeleine into a vampire? Isn’t vampires supposed to cry blood tears? I have been wondering…

Ricean vampires do cry blood tears in the books. Other vampires might not. Claudia would have cried blood tears.

In this production still from a cut scene, it looks like Claudia does have blood tears:

I don’t know why they didn’t actually do it throughout the movie. Looks like they at least tried, though :- 

Here’s another production still. Maybe the director didn’t like the thickness of them? Or the fact that they would be difficult to add in physically, since you’d have to redo her makeup for each take? In the books, blood tears are basically regular tears tinged with blood, so they would probably look pink, not so thick and red as these are. These look like ketchup.
