Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, I believe all he said they couldn't appear in was mirrors. But yeah, cameras weren't mentioned much in the book.

About the mist/fog thing: I think it says a fog or mist. I'm thinking of the part where he visited Mina and sort of misted into the room. Um, Dracula is written in English. Are you reading it in a different language or something?

Anyway, trivia fact: werewolves can also turn into fog in some cultures.

Mm, I don't remember anything about shadows.

European Vampires (predominantly of the Dracul-species) were not allergic to sunlight until the film, Nosferatu. Hollywood needed an ending that differed enough from Stoker's book to avoid copyright suits, so they mde sunlight the great enemy.

Beforehand, Sunlight only weakened a vampire's natural abilities.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I think they do that just to annoy and/or throw people off. Why do they have to go all Freudian? I say leave it as is and let the reader decide.

>.< why must scholars always overanalyse things? its not like we're stupid and need everything explained before we read the book.

Superhuman senses
Flight

The ability to summon a giant, amorphous hellhound named Baskerville, and other creatures such as bats

Super speed

The ability to pass through solid objects

Manipulation of shadows into physical form (although vampires controlling

shadows isn't unheard of, the artwork sometimes makes it difficult to

distinguish between blood and shadows.)

Teleportation

Telekinesis

Telepathy

Mind Reading

Mind Control or Hypnosis (fans sometimes call it the 'sex beam' after a remark from Pip)
