AHA! Suck on that, naysaying hordes. I'm impressed that you went so far as to research this topic.
I haven't read Dracula in forever, but wasn't there a reference to sunlight in the book? Or was it just that he was on a sleep schedule and really preferred not to go out during the day?
You have to admit, the sparkling vamps have improved our lives for the better. In twenty years we'll still be making jokes about them in the same casual way that any mention of magic now warrants a Harry Potter name-drop. When RPat dies the newspapers will speculate on whether or not He Will Rise Again, and people will say 'well he did look kind of sparkly in that coffin'.
