Silver bullets kill vamps in most modern media since the 80s, too. Blade used silver oxide flashbangs, and silver plated swords. It may not have had anything to do with the original myths, but it's a pretty common trope now.
I may be showing too much of my freak flag, but if I remember correctly, in Dungeons & Dragons, silver was effective against almost all undead, which should cover vampires too. That goes back to the 70's, so it has been a common trope for quite a while now.

Vampires are huge pussies.
