That's about right.  (AND HOW did I forget my favorite Vampire movie of all time?  Sighs)

(The guy off the Dodge commercials) Hermann played the lead baddie, and Kiefer's character, David, was just covering up for him.  His blood was in the bottle that they drank out of (and did anyone else want that poster of Jim on the wall?), which was the drink that turned Michael into the unturned vampire.  Wasn't Winona's  character also that way, however in Dracula?  Until she took her first sip of blood, she was able to move in the daylight (hampered, though, by a sunlight intolerance).  That's the concept from the Brom Stoker book (although it was blown up much more for the movie--I so did like Rider in that role!).  If she drank the blood, she would have become the fourth in the three lady trio.  Of course also in Lost Boys was the garlic and the holy water thing again!

I play Vampire the Masquerade, so my vision is cloudy a bit at times, though--tooo many threads running through!

<I just wanted to weigh in on the (almost) dead vampire thread.  When I
first saw the term half-vampire on this list, I thought of the 1980s
brat-pack movie "The Lost Boys."  Does anyone remember that one, with
Kiefer Sutherland and the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman)?  "The Lost Boys"
had a very unique vampire folklore.  In that world, IIRC, you became a
half-vampire when you and a vampire drank each other's blood.  Your first
kill made you a full vampire.  But if your sire (the vampire with whom you
exchanged blood) died before you became a full vampire, you became human
again (or maybe it was the head vampire who had to die).  Jason Patric and
Jamie Gertz spent most of the movie as half vampires.  They became human
again when the head vampire was killed (also killing their sire, Kiefer
Sutherland).>
