No reflection

I understand that vampires have no reflection, but their clothes should. We should see clothes moving around without a body...right? I'm not picking on Fright Night--I really like this movie. This just seems to be the case across most vampire flicks.

Also, can vampires go outside safely on a cloudy/rainy/snowy day? If so, why would a vampire choose to move to a desert climate, where the sun shines about 90% of the year?

Oh, before anyone calls me an idiot, I know this is all fiction.

Logically speaking you have a point, but it would look silly and corny seeing the clothes moving around with no head or hands or flesh etc.

Yeah, it would be silly.

Love this remake.

Hey, also to answer the other questions I would say it depends on who's vampire lore you go bye I.E. Anne Rice'S, Stephen King etc. Alot of different authors and writers of this kind of fiction tend to throw their own spinning the mythology. Such as Bram Stoker's Dracula can walk in the sunlight albeit at a very weakened state.

And Jerry most likely chose that area because it's not uncommon to see people out and about all night, makes for easy pickings. Also, Charlie or someone said the same thing along these lines in the film. Hope I was a help!
