This is the last Dracula thing

I listened to the novel Dracula on tape one time. The main thing I remember is the men going off to kill Dracula. I thought it was strange that they never had any self-doubt. None of them thought that maybe they got caught up in the moment and that vampires obviously don't exist and they could get into a lot of trouble for what they were planning to do.

The end of the Francis Ford Coppola version was more true to the book. I don't think this is a spoiler, but a cowboy kills Dracula with a Bowie knife.

Are vampires a Christian thing or a natural phenomenon? Why does Dracula recoil at the sight of a crucifix? Why wouldn't a vampire have a reflection in a mirror? There's no religious or scientific explanation for that.
