    I think it’s the Dresden Files mythology? But I always liked the premise that it’s not the house that prevents them. It’s the magic of a home. They could walk into some house a squatter is living in for a few days with no issues, but a home where people truly live make it their own, have families, memories…that’s what gives the threshold power.

    IIRC, even in that universe, a vampire can force it’s way in, but the threshold strips it of most of its power if not invited.

      It would be such a Dresden type loophole to use that with the cliche of “home is wherever you are”, and have someone believe that strongly enough to make the other person a living vampire repellent.

        Upon further consideration and two drinks, I deand Hollywood use this as the twist ending to give Blade the love interest they’re going to force in no matter what in the reboot.

        Then in the sequel he sells out and gets a fancy new Batcave Crypt(?) funeded by some asshole who turns out to be the villain.

        And Blade’s conviction falters and it breaks her protection just long enough to get her tragically killed, setting up therevenge plot for the third movie.

        God wqhy am I not a screenwriter. It’s not good, but it would sell.
