* Played with in the Literature/{{Discworld}} of Creator/AAPessimal. A prison warden at the Tanty Prison has to be reassigned to other duties by the Governor. The luckless guard is a vampire who really wants to fit into human society and to do a regular job. However, he cannot do a cell search, anywhere, because the cons refuse to let him into their cells. As the governor reluctantly concedes, the cons have found a valid loophole.
** In another story, vampire policewoman Sally von Humperding is refused entry into a hotel in Far Überwald, who know all about vampires trying to get in by night, and aren't having it. The person she needs to speak to inside the hotel is a Witch who is renting a room there. After some thought, the Witch [[RulesLawyer finds a strategy]] to get around the "Vampires Can Not Enter This Building rule. Sally then discovers she has limited access.[[spoiler: Olga Romanoff performs an act of headology on the whole hotel, pointing out that as a guest who is paying for the room, the hotel is providing her with ease and comfort, and is bound to provide this by ancient rule. She can therefore invite whoever she likes in there. Sally gets in through the window, but she discovers if she tries to walk out into the corridor, she hits a painful invisible barrier that bounces her back into Olga's room.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MonsterLovingManiacs'': Dracula has this weakness, of course. That said, there are some technicalities with it, as the invitation must specifically come from the home's owner, and said homeowner is able to "un-invite" the vampire. Additionally, it turns out that bringing in a vampire's frozen body to display as the prize trophy of your collection of captured monsters also counts as inviting the vampire in.
