There are several 'myths' relating to vampires and mirrors, one being that vampires have no reflection. In actual fact vampires can look in mirrors and do have reflections in them. It would take several 'bendings' of the basic law of the universe to get around this one.
The origin of this myth is with Count Dracula who had a whole bucket load of quirks that people now attributed to all vampires in general. One of these was that he could not look in a mirror. All the mirrors in his castle were covered by sheets. Even Johnathan Harker's travel shaving mirror was undoubtedly broken by the Count. The basis of this quirk is probably in the Count's own self-loathing. Dracula (while he had be fully alive) had been a Knight in defense of Christendom against the Ottoman Turks and was no doubt quite bias. Now that he is a vampire he has difficulty 'seeing what he has become' - cannot stand to behold a crucifix either, another trait probably arising from the same inner conflict.
Now I am aware of quite a few books and movies that use the no 'reflection trait' (Andy Warhol's Dracula for example) but such I attribute to hyperbole on the part of the writers and not to basic vampire fact.
