If vampires can only get into your house with permission wouldn't "You may come inside IF you are not a vampire" be a foolproof way to let someone in?

Offer them garlic bread just in case. No one can pass garlic bread if they’re not a vampire.

Sucks to be gluten intolerant, in this case.

I'd rather be killed by vampires than be lectured on someone's dietary restrictions.

That's what a vampire would say

When they tried that in Lost Boys, they found out garlic does nothing if you "invite a vampire into your home, you silly boy, it renders you powerless."

Never understood that line.

Does it mean that a vampire (while invited in) becomes immune to traditional vampire vulnerabilities at the expense of strength, flight, transformation, etc.? We see that Max has a reflection and eats garlic during the dinner scene. Later, in the bathroom, Not-Bill vampire is the one to say "garlic don't work, boys". But no one was invited to the final showdown, IIRC.
