It is a very metal title, and it’s no wonder Bram Stoker chose it as the name of his character.

I still maintain that vampires = rabies, though.

• Biting - the main way rabies is transmitted
• Weak to holy water - rabies causes hydrophobia
• Snarling faces - rabies causes muscles to tighten, dogs who have rabies are very snarly
• Transforms into bats, wolves, etc - rabies is often spread by these animals
• Feeds on livestock - many “prey” animals primarily exhibit the paralytic form of rabies
• No reflection - in the past, a person was not considered rabid if they could look at their own reflection

Give me any other vampire trope, I think I can relate it to rabies.
