Please help me. Maybe I missed something but why does Sarah's reflection appear in the mirror in the ballroom scene? I thought she got bitten by Count and therefore was a vampire so why could she see herself in the mirror?

Looks like you found a huge plot hole!
Either that or she hadn't transformed yet.
I'd say a bigger plot hole is why where the vampires clothes visible on the hunters? Shouldn't the clothes be invisible?
The clothes on the other vampires can't be seen, so how come the clothes on the hunters (taken from the old vampires) show?
It would have been more accurate (not to mention hilarious) to see Professor Abronius and Albert in their underwear.

Hi there, she was bitten allright, but she was still alive, not yet a vampire so she cast a reflection. Hope this helped.
shareJust watched it, I thought it was a little silly to have her be a vampire after that scene showing her in the mirror, though i'm no Vampirologist...I didn't think it'd take time for her to become one, I just figured they had to drain her completely.....
shareIt makes sense in that she was already infected but hadn't died yet and was therefore not a vampire yet. She wouldn't have to be drained completely to become a vampire she would just have to be dead. She died (albeit suddenly) as they sped away on the sled and woke up as a vampire and attacked Alfred.
shareThe way I see it is, first you die, then you become a vampire. Sarah hadn't died yet during the ballroom scene; she was still human as the count said. She died at the end of the movie and woke up a vampire.
shareIn The Lost Boys, you're not a vampire till you make your first kill, but still may sprout fangs, be tranparent in the mirror, etc.
I think the Dracula story is the one most widely known that says you must be bit, then die, to rise again as a vampire.
But there are different interpertations.
I'm glad I'm so helpful.
Well, these things can't make sense because vampires don't actually exist...cough cough (joke, of course they do).....anyway, although I prefer the "hasn't transformed yet" explanation, I think it was mainly done so you wouldn't know how the film was going to end.

In “The Lost Boys” the problem is quite different because Michael drank blood from a vampire but he wasn't bitten at all. Sarah was bitten but didn’t drink blood (well, before the complete transformation after her death). The possible full transformation takes a different origin depending on the movie.
Anyway, every vampire movie has its own rules ;-)
Exactly. Because don't forget, as far as I know it was Bram Stoker who "came up" with the first set of rules, and over the years they've changed, so that modern vampires have no problems with daylight or crosses for example. It's all about being "cool" and "irresistable" to please the "vampire culture". In the old days when people actually believed in them for real, vampires were just ghosts who were drawing energy from their relatives.
You haven't watched Buffy/Blade/Blade 2 then, I suppose? Those are your modern vampires and they still have BIG problems with daylight. Buffy vampires don't like crosses either.
Also, Stoker was not the person who first 'came up' with this so called first set of rules, it's called folklore and he tapped into it for his book. Also, vampires in folklore exist in many different forms and shapes pending on the area where they 'came' from and the period.
So. Research is your very best friend, trust me.
According to this movie: You become a vampire after you are dead. She was bitten but alive in the ballroom scene. Than in stagecoach, her tiny hand became cold as Alfred said...That means she's dead.. Then resurrected as a vampire because she was bitten..
