Just been thinking about the vamps in
Blade.
I think they are probably the most similar to Whedon's vamps.
They have the 'dusting' effect, although with added fire. They can't go out in the day. Drinking vampire blood has a certain (I can't remember what) effect on humans, like the sidekick in B2, and Riley in Buffy. Silver bullets will kill them - but I am not sure about whether this effects the Whedon vampires...
Crosses - I can't remember what this does to Blades vamps either.
Neither of them can change shape, or anything like that either.
There are a few other similarities too - Both myths have a vampires organised in cultist themes. Both have an 'incomplete' vampire hunting his own kind. They are both set in modern times... I am sure there are more correlations but I have to run
