So vampires don’t show up in film or mirrors, right? What if that applies to literally any kind of sensor. You got some 2000-year-old emissary of the night cussing out an automatic soap dispenser.

automatic doors. AUTOMATIC DOORS

Those light switches that shuts down when they sense lack of activity.

On the other hand: Vampire burglar.

U remember like the no.1 rule about vampires right

the mirror thing is because old mirrors used to be backed with silver, but if you could come up with a different reason this would be hilarious

(the film thing comes from people not understanding why the mirror thing came about)

Actually the film thing comes from the use of silver too! Photographic film and film stock are coated in silver halide crystals mimicking the effect of a silver backed mirror. But vampires would appear in any film or photos taken with a digital camera because of the absence of silver halide.

The silver thing isn’t necessarily true or universal- the idea in some versions was that a mirror reflected the soul, and vampires have none to reflect.  But that still leaves the question of whether it works that way on film as well…
