The whole vampires don't have a soul trope isn't new. Depending on where you get your vampire lore the reason they don't have a reflection is because they don't have a soul. some myths say their vampires because they sold their soul to a demon. Since almost every culture has a vampire like myth there are really no hard and fast rules on little details like souls.

The thing is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of different origins when it comes to vampires. The vampires in this show would arguably be in a vague christian existence (being burned by both silver and the bible). The original story as to why vampires have no reflection in this case is because before mirrors, or even mercury based reflections were a thing, what people would do is polish silver to the point it became a reflective surface. Silver was deadly to vampires (from what I can recall this was a base in christian vampirism, as a 'holy substance', along with blessed water, faith, because of its apparent purity) So technically the vampires in the show should have reflections, but that is such an age old belief that it really doesn't matter the specifics for anymore. (which honestly I could say the same for a lot of this) (and like because this is a comedy so this is already way to much thought process from the begging.)
Technically the first christian vampire was (apparently, thought I might be wrong) Desdemona who tricked Kain/Abel (aka whichever one died) but fuck if I know the bible enough to know what happened next. (so if philstar22 wants to help me out, cheers girl. <3)

Regardless! The show pokes fun at a lot of vampiric origins, the idea that a vampire should have a ghost, because that is the issue I am having here, not the soul thing. (which is why I think 'spirit' would be a more appropriate term now, rather than 'soul'.)
Vampires cannot have ghosts since they are undead, not dead dead. Losing ones literal humanity is not the same as losing the core of who you are. I guess is what I'm pathetically trying to say.
