I know what you're trying to say here, but, a movie over 80 years old is not a good basis of comparison. Society has changed so much since then. What film makers were pushing the edge with then doesn't hold a candle to what they are now.
Not only that, but, what exactly determines what makes up a vampire? Up until this book/movie it was a vicious lust for blood, fangs (front two, canines, or a whole grill full & retractable or not), and the inability to go into direct sunlight.
Whether you want to add things like sleeping in coffins, super strength, flight, morphing into a bat, the ability to seduce anybody, fear of garlic, crosses, & holy water, stake through da heart, etc etc... that's one thing, but, to take away the basic staples of what makes a vampire a vampire is just silly. What do you have left? A junky with super strength. Not a vampire.
