* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. Used for a brief BaitAndSwitch in "The Prodigal". A flashback shows Angel in 1753 coaxing a pretty female servant into the shadows... only for his father to appear and shove him into the sunlight. He doesn't burst into flame because he's not a vampire at this stage; just Liam, a hedonistic layabout who's avoidin the sun becuase he's hung over.

** The villainess Nocturna had an accident which turned her skin white and made her sensitive to light. She also has ShadowWalker and CharmPerson powers. The Comicbook/{{New 52}} version deliberately plays on her similarity to a vampire, at one point using hypnosis to convice Comicbook/{{Batwoman}} that not only is she a LesbianVampire, but that Kate herself has been turned.

Averted in ''Comicbook/Outsiders2023'': this version of Nocturna really ''is'' a vampire, with a completely new origin involving being turned by a LooksLikeOrlok figure in what appears to be 18th century Gotham.

Kevin gets to know him and realizes Mr. Devlin is just an eccentric man with interesting hobbies... [[spoiler:until he notices at the end that Mr. Devlin has no reflection in the mirror]].

* The protagonist of ''The Lady of the Shroud'' (by none other than Bram Stoker himself) is woken in the middle of the night by a woman who's dressed in graveclothes, as pale and frozen as a corpse, and can't enter his room until he helps her over the threshold. She visits him on subsequent nights (''only'' at night), and he soon concludes she's a vampire and concocts an elaborate fantasy in his head of how he'll save her and restore her humanity with ThePowerOfLove... [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome only to find out she's a 100% flesh-and-blood human]], and while there is an elaborate plot going on that involves faking her own death to thwart the villains' plans, there is nothing supernatural going on. [[WrongGenreSavvy No vampire fantasy for you]], sir, but he does get a great wife out of the deal.
