I basically point to any vampire in the Twilight saga and say, "Definitely not that."
More specifically, there is a general checklist that classifies a monster as a vampire:
* They have fangs that are capable of piecing flesh and drinking blood.
* If a vampire bites a mammal or causes the mammal to ingest vampire blood, the mammal will become a vampire.
* Vampires have no heart beat, and therefore, are technically corpses, never aging and can live forever.
* They are capable of having superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and dexterity. Some ignoring pain and even regenerate their injuries.
* Bright lights irritate their skin and impair their vision, so they are active in night and sleep/hide during the day.
* Sunlight irritates their skin and can cause them to completely burn up into ashes.
* Vampires may be allergic to garlic and religious symbols or blessed articles can irritate and kill them.
* Traditionally, vampires can be killed by driving a wooden stake into their heart.
* Vampires can also be vanquished by chopping their heads off.
* Vampires may be adept in magic, allowing them to hypnotize their victims, shape shift, and preform blood rituals.
These may or may not all apply, but I believe that these are the bare essentials.
