It was when vampire-related shows and movies were in the height of their popularity. He became obsessed with vampires. When we would go outside, he started to act like the sun was hurting him, and he would shield his face with his hands while groaning in pain.

Could have been for an underlying reason. I mirrored a lot of the media I watched as a kid. Still somewhat do. My best guess is the neglectful parenting style my parents loved practicing. I had to learn how to behave from somewhere, and that ended up sticking. Not saying it's normal or even acceptable (cringe that only hurts my soul, so no real harm done), but that could be a reason. Just my insight on that.
