There was a vampire movie, I forget what it's called, but part of the lore was that vampires were only affected by religious symbols from their original society. So showing a cross to a Muslim vampire wouldn't work.

Atheist vampires: It's free real state

Atheist vampires would have to be put under a microscope to die.

Benny in the 1999 Mummy movie carried a hodgepodge of religious symbols with him, for apparently similar reasons. It sort of worked.

The earliest concept (there may be earlier ones of course) that I remember is from the book I am Legend (1954) IIRC.

A nice read and quite refreshing when comparing with the film.

The scenes where the dog tries to bury itself to hide from the vampires were gut wrenching to me.

Hey, just so you know -- you should edit your comment and strip the ?si= and everything after it from your link, it's a Youtube tracker that has now attached your Youtube ID to your Fediverse ID.

https://youtu.be/L6HkiZOWkaM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6HkiZOWkaM work fine without it.

Or just https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=L6HkiZOWkaM (or your other invidious instance of choice)

Great catch, thank you.

Much appreciated. I've been using YouTube since 09 and never had to deal with this stuff for a long time.
