On the subject of vampires:

"Can only come out at night, avoids sunlight at all costs"

True to an extent. Bram Stoker's Dracula, however, was able to make appearances during the day, but mostly chose not to.

"Can use mind tricks to control people and turn them into thralls."

There is also a class of vampires known as "Psychic Vampires." Psychic vampires feed off of the lifeforce that surrounds an individual. They don't actually drink blood. Have you ever been around a person for a period of time, only to feel mentally, emotionally, and physically drained after they leave? If so, you may have encountered a psychic vampire.

"Can turn into a bat"

Dracula was able to turn into a wolf and a rat, as well.

"Only virgins can become vampires. Non-virgins turn into ghouls/zombies"

I've never encountered this line of thought. For example, Lucy Westenra (in Dracula) was stringing several men along at the same time: Dr. John Seward, Quincey Morris (a Texan), and Arthur Holmwood (son of Lord Godalming.) Although seemingly a virgin, she displayed the playful and sexual characteristics of the temptress. She ultimately chooses to marry Arthur Holmwood, who is wealthy and will be the next Lord Godalming, thus bypassing the rough and tumble Texan and John Seward, the poor doctor who runs an insane asylum. She thus chooses a life of wealth and power. Lucy becomes Dracula's victim and is buried in the wedding gown she was to wear at her wedding to Arthur Holmwood. She rises from the grave, wearing the white gown, a symbol of purity that is now twisted into a caricature, and lures small children to her so that she can drink their blood. (Think adrenochrome).

From what I am aware, zombies are usually the result of a voodoo ritual that involves killing a chicken. The Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter book series goes into detail on the raising of the dead in order to turn them into zombies.

"Vampires follow strict Covens, like Secret Societies with rules and traditions"

Sometimes, yes, and sometimes no. Dracula was a loner, even abandoning his own creations, like Lucy. Kindred the Embraced, tv series, however, did have vampire clans. Originally, though, they were mainly loners.

"Can only be killed by piercing the heart, or sometimes removing the head"

There are actually several ways to kill or neutralize a vampire:

1. Piercing the heart with a wooden stake, and then usually following this up with #2.

2. Cutting off the head and stuffing the mouth with garlic or putting a holy wafer on the tongue.

3. Burying the corpse on their stomach, rather than their back. The belief was that they'd dig in the wrong direction when trying to escape the coffin.

4. Scattering seeds around the gravesite, as vampires, for some odd reason, were obsessive-compulsive. They felt compelled to count all of the seeds, and thus would not be able to count them all before they had to return to their coffins at dawn.

5. You could shoot them in the heart with a silver bullet.

6. You could trap them in their lair by using crumbled holy wafers mixed with clay or mortar of some sort and sealing the coffin or tomb door with it.

Vampires can also be repelled by the cross, holy wafers, holy water, fire, or mirrors.

Holy water and/or fire will burn a vampire. Both are considered purifying.

Mirrors will give them away, as they don't cast a reflection due to not having a soul.

"Cannot cross moving water; specifically: streams, rivers, ocean. Lakes and ponds are fine"

They can cross the ocean, but only at high or low tide. Dracula always had to wait for the tide in order to sail on a boat.

"Need permission in order to enter your house"

This is similar to the deep state's need to tell you ahead of time what they are planning to do as a way to mitigate guilt. Regardless of whether you realize what you are doing or not, the act of inviting a vampire into your home is a tacit acceptance of whatever the vampire is going to do to you.
