When is a vampire not a vampire?

If you were asked to define "vampire" what would be the defining features? It's a question I'm trying to answer for a conference paper I'll be delivering. There have been so many vampire movies and books written, each of which characterize the vampire in a slightly different way.

But if we look at the corpus as a whole, what are the characteristics most frequently seen?
