- You are capable of taking a single detail from the movie and expanding upon it for paragraphs on end
- You keep three copies of the script to the movie: one which is held in a place of honor and never touched, a second which you carry around everywhere and refer to constantly, and a third for emergency purposes

- You can't help but correct every other vampire movie you watch, regardless of who's present (parents, teacher, friends, pets, pastor...)

- You only know who Pope Gregory is because of #17

- You then practice on this truck, working on various disarming techniques to try whenever you run into the real thing
- Your teacher talks about your "obsession with vampires"--and you are proud of this
- Pretty much any other vampire book/movie/franchise reminds you of The Little Vampire
- Your preferred method of revenge on anyone is to sneak into their bedroom late at night with a cereal box on your head, wake them from sleep, and declare yourself "the Lord/Lady of the Underworld"
- You're upset when you realize you don't have a vampire friend to help you out with this
- You seriously wonder about the consequences of some of the character's actions (i.e. would Tony get in trouble for impersonating Satan?)
- Even bad reviews of The Little Vampire brighten your day

- You then realize it's because you're not a vampire and set out to become one
- You give puzzled looks to people who call you insane for wanting to be a vampire, or who tell you it's impossible
- The one line you invariably deliver to your babysitter come bedtime is "Bed for the undead?"
