ANd I actually agree with more variety in this regard.
I dislike those tropes myself. What I disagreed with is that fictional work in horror is somehow a good representation of what the "real vampire" belief was, as opposed to teen romances. In the case of the vampire mythos, I'd say a lot of the original folklore was lost, simply because it was never made it into a work of fiction, and never got commercialized. So from an English-centric point of view it might seem rare or unusual nowadays.
