Is it necrophilia when a puppet zombie, 100% controlled by its master and with no thought or volition, fucks a corpse?
Then why is that called a vampire?
To my understanding vampires are by themselves independent creatures, and the kind of control that they have would possibly come from a sire to their offspring, but that's usually portrayed as, you know, dominating mental control, and removal of previous personality, with the vampire retaining some autonomous control and functionality. If the master's attention is diverted, the vampire would still be able to defend itself if you were attacking it, which wouldn't be the case if we're talking about puppets that are 100% controlled by someone else.
If they're complete and utter automatons, then why aren't they called ghouls or zombies (or zuvembis, if we're going to use AD&D terminology)?

(Wow, this is getting gruesome.)
