I think the way to do it is to give it a bounding object that surrounds
the camera viewpoint.  This way the reflected rays miss the bounding
object and cause it to not appear.

object {
  Vampire
  bounded_by { sphere { CameraLocation,.01 } }
}

Rays from the camera will always intersect the sphere, hence the
object will directly appear; but the reflected rays will almost
certainly miss that sphere, causing the object to not appear in the
reflection.
