Appearances and specific Attributes in Supernatural
1.20 Dead Man's Blood
The vampires in Supernatural are not killed with a stake, but must be decapitated. Sun is not directly harmful but they do not stand directly under the rays and sleep during the day. They are affected or slowed with Dead Man's Blood.
Vampires are rare because they have been hunted intensively. They live in packs and mate for life.
In contrast to popular lore, vampires in Supernatural can enter a home without invitation.
They own a full set of sharp, pointed, retractable teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth.
2.03 Bloodlust
Vampires are apparently potentially capable of successfully resisting the urge to feed from humans, and can live off cattle blood, as Lenore and her group do.
3.07 Fresh Blood
Dixon converts young women into vampires by feeding them his blood under the pretense it is a recreational drug. It is administered either directly from an eyedropper, or in a drink.
When Gordon becomes a vampire, we get to see how a vampire experiences the world - with enhanced hearing, and sight, which means he can see in the dark, but is also extremely sensitive to light. His sense of smell is so good he can use it to locate the shop Dean visited to buy his cell phone.
4.05 Monster Movie
In this episode, the Winchester bros. begin their supernatural investigation by looking into some vampire attacks. Howver, the "vampire" turns out to be a crazy shapeshifter who disguises himself as classsic horror movie monsters.
