Why don't vampires have reflections?
Asked by Wiki User
Because they don't exist?
So you can recognize them?
It makes for cute special effects?
ANSWERS:
Vampire's aren't really into reflections mainly because way too often reflection succumbs to self reflection and self reflection is a vampires worst enemy...well, besides sunlight, wooden stakes, holy water, crucifixes and God. Vampires, you see, were human before they became vampires and now that they are vampires they must prey on other humans in order to survive. You can well imagine what self reflection will do to a hunter vampire, once human now stalking his human prey. It boggles the mind. There are some romantic writers such as Anne Rice who attempt to describe vampires reflecting but if you've read these books you all ready know how dangerous vampires reflecting can be. Perhaps vampires should leave the reflecting for the Frankenstein Monsters and reprogrammed Terminators and do what they do best, sashay around the night in cool capes, sucking the blood out of their victims and sleeping in coffins by day. Of course, it's a free country and if vampires want to reflect they certainly have the right to do so. It's pretty certain they don't, on a whole, reflect by choice. It's a matter of lifestyle choices.
2nd person here,but umm...some say that your reflection is your soul and since vampires are dead they have no soul creating no reflection (I like this one).
