Fun Vampire Fact; the reason that Vampires traditionally cannot see their reflections in a mirror is because mirrors used to be backed with a reflective layer of silver — which, as the metal of purity, would not ‘interact’ with Vampires, who are the Devil’s work.
However, modern mirrors have used aluminum as their reflective backing for many years now — and aluminum is not a ‘picky’ metal at all. So Vampires are able to see their reflections in modern mirrors.
Wonder if this also goes for all the appliances etc that incorporate silver. Imagining an increasingly frustrated vampire trying to get the blood out of his clothes but his washing machine uses silver nanoparticles so just won’t work for him
ooh this is interesting. I remember seeing stuff about not being able to take photos of vampires because of the "no-reflection" thing, which is silly cause very few cameras have mirrors in the light path to the imaging medium. But what if it's not about reflections, but interactions with silver, and photographic film being based on light-sensitive silver halides.
