    There’s an Adventure Time episode wherein a vampire won’t enter a “house” - not because they can’t, but because they believe it would be impolite.

    This is reminiscent of that.

      Ye and in Castlevania they explain that the sign of the cross works because vampires are an evolved predator species so putting a weird geometric shape in their face makes them confused and have a panic attack because they can’t fathom it. So the cross works on hindu vampires too

        Supposedly, the reason they don’t show up in mirrors is that mirrors used to be backed by silver and silver is elementally “pure.”

        Your geometric theorem reminds me of vampires having to count grains of sand. Maybe vampires are just giant nerds.
