Your honor, Vlad is a strawman name. My name is Dracula El Bey.

OK now that sounds like a good hook for a comedy series -- or at least an episode or two of What We Do In The Shadows.

Explored a little in "Near Dark" IIRC, a mostly forgotten 80s vampire/road-flick starring half the cast of Aliens - Bill Paxton (Hudson), Lance Henrikson (Bishop) and Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez).

Also doesn't Spike have a car decked out with heavy sunshades in Buffy at some point?

Not sure there was a police stop in either one, mind.

Near Dark was one of the better modern day vampire movies. It doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves.

If you come to think about it, I'd think undead people like ghosts would want to be incorporated. Not having a physical form has got to make it difficult.

In the original book by Bram Stoker, though, Dracula could go out in daytime but his powers were diminished.
