Why are black cats a Halloween symbol?
"cuz witch's have black kats as there pets"
I happen to be a Witch, and I can tell you that witches were believed to have any cat as their familiar, not just a black one. While you can have an animal companion, it is not necessary. It comes from the superstition of a black crossing your path being unlucky which is, of course, utter nonsense.

Can vampires turn people into zombies?
Probably not, cuz when a vampire is alive it doesn't mean that you he can control you or something.... They might turn to you into vampires with a bite or in another way. The reason why is that, because they are not zombies them selves. So they might only have special vampire features and actions but it can't turn you into a zombie...
As an ordinary person (with the right knowledge) can create a zombie there is therefore no reason why a vampire (with the same knowledge) could not do the same.
The process to become a vampire is a delicate one and if it is not conducted properly then the results may be 'less than perfect'. It is therefore possible that a poorly created vampire might be indistinguishable from a zombie: incapable of stealing the vital life-force that it endeavors to obtain through consumption of prey, decomposing, very low intellect.

Why don't vampires show up in mirrors?
Vampires don't mind mirrors actually. They are afraid of crosses but not mirrors. The connection between mirrors and vampires is that vampires can't be seen in mirrors. I suppose if mirrors did bother a vampire it would be because perhaps they are tortured by the fact that they can never be human again, and not being able to see their reflection would be a reminder of this.

What are the elements of a folktale?
A folk-tale can be divided into several categories, but the main two are the fairy tale (which relies heavily on fantastic elements) and the narrative tale (it can include extraordinary elements, but not magical or fantastic). The first type has very typical features that are extraordinarily similar throughout the world - a fact which has made possible its categorisation. I'll give some examples of standard features: a crisis at the beginning of the tale, a happy ending (in 99% of cases) plus (not necessarily) a morality, a fantastic helper (a fairy godmother, a bee, a dragon, a poor shepherd a.s.o.) who/which helps the hero/heroine, the magic companions (like the man who can run/drink/eat/blow air through his nose/sow/weave etc more rapidly and much stronger than any other human being) who decide to accompany the main character, the quest, the tasks that will decide his/her fate, the reward etc.
