I’m hoping I just missed something.
When the vampires first show up there is this big deal about them needing to be invited in. We see it with the first vampire guy, and then they made a big deal about it with Cornbread.
Sometime later, when the vampires suddenly decide they are done fooling around and invade the juke joint to try killing everyone, why are they able to do it with no invitation? Did I somehow miss that someone accidentally invited them in?
I just watched it last night for the first time and this was the only thing that kind of bugged me about it.
I guess you missed the part where Grace screams “Come on in motherfuckers!” after the vampire threatened to kill/turn her daughter. Then they were able to enter.
yes, this was a subtle phrase that could be perceived as an invitation…
Yep somehow I did. I knew it had to be something like that.
Grace keeps pushing Smoke to take the vampires head on, before they go to her store and kill her daughter. When the others refuse, she forces it by shouting “come on in, motherfuckers!”
i remember at one point one of the idiots inside screams for them all to come on in… i think when her spouse or kids are in danger or some shit. not that that makes any more sense
They still required an invitation, but they goaded one of the insiders to “invite” them in anger (paraphrasing, “come and fight me”)
I was hoping it was something like that. I must have just missed it somehow.
Because it was written in the book
Vampires are an allegory for germs and bacteria.
-they can’t enter unless you let them -silver was used as a common cure for diseases -cant see their reflection because most mirrors were made of silver nitrate -garlic was a common remedy for disease -priests would bless those who were sick
Etc…
Zombies are an allegory for today’s working environment, but that’s for another question
They weren’t “allegory”. They were literally thought to be the cause of many things.
They were also just folk stories, too- people believed in things like vampires before they were blamed for the diseases, not the other way around.

perhaps you can explain why correcting a myth (that folklore creatures were always allegory an not literal belief,) means I was hurt?
or perhaps you can address what I said.
belief in folklore predates blaming the creatures in folklore for things. things like nocturnal emissions, as an example. they’d have blamed something else if they didn’t already believe in demons. (specifically succubi.)
these beliefs weren’t allegory. it was literally a demon haunted world. And for many, it still is.
It’s a fantasy world populated with vampires. The “rules” are whatever the creator decides, which is probably why these ones don’t sparkle in the sun.
Maybe they watched 30 days of night and just said “we should just do that”
