The Sergeant Majorette says

If by "all recognition", we're talking movie vampires --attractive 
people who are bitten on the neck by other attractive people who work 
the night shift and sleep days in silk-lind coffins-- nah.

However, while researching Bulgarian veela, (in ballet, we call them 
wilis) I came across a way different concept of a vampire. They start 
out blood-filled bags of skin which can be destroyed by simply 
puncturing them. If they are not punctured within a certain amount of 
time, they regain their living shape and have to go to another 
village to find a new spouse who didn't know them when they died the 
first time. They never live in castles, since eventually somebody 
rats them out and they get drained by their kids. Or something like 
that...
