And if a man speaks in a forest, he is still wrong, even if no woman is
there to hear him.

dictionary lookups that entails.

howling in the distance ;-)

In the original Dracula novel the eponymous character was not even
annoyed by sunlight. (But IIRC he was unable to transform.)
IIRC also in the original Dracula movie sunlight wasn't such a big
problem.
The whole sunlight thing was invented by the movie Nosferatu. For some
reason it stuck.
Comparing those two movies is actually interesting, as they both set
precedents that have lasted to this day. The former set the precedent for
an elegant suave aristocrat gentleman who would lure their victims using
his sheer charm and personality (with possible bits of hypnosis).
The latter set the precedent for the deformed, big-fanged, pointy-eared
(and hence more bat-like) vampire, which also sees its uses nowadays to
larger or lesser extent.
A mix between the two is also sometimes used, with the vampire transforming
between the two forms (like in Buffy). For some reason the lethality of
sunlight is (almost) always retained in both characterizations, though
(except for those few movies that try to be loyal to the original novel).

So, the "evil genius" character?
