Vampires are evil creatures and the crucifix is the symbol of Jesus/God. Evil hates all things related to Christianity - crucifixes, holy water, the Bible, religious robes, etc. Even silver is hated in some lore because it is representative of the silver pieces Judas took for betraying Jesus.

Most vampires don't have any trouble with crucifixes what-so-ever.
