I'd be ok with it if they were like zombies or something, but they're intelligent so that explanation just feels like such a stretch to me. Are vampires also affected by window muntins and fences? Can I fend off a vampire attack with a suit of graph paper armour? Do they freak out at the sight of jungle gyms?

Yes, that's why they need an invitation to get on your property

Unless they have probable claws.

I mean, if you shoved a jungle gym in my face I would probably have an issue with it.

As a practical similarity, ever heard of speech-jamming? The idea is that you can play someone's own voice back to them with a slight delay and it will cause them try and listen and speak at the same time resulting in slower speaking or even the inability to speak normally.

I feel like a vampire could have unique instincts or mental processes that could be messed with in a similar way. Maybe it's like how people can see faces in very simple shapes; they see threats instead.
