'''Basic Trope''': The {{Masquerade}} is broken forever.
* '''Straight''': [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]] exist, and while they've been able to keep their existence a secret for centuries, their existence has been revealed, and [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore society changes as a result]].
* '''Exaggerated''': The knowledge of vampires being real practically changes society overnight.
* '''Downplayed''': The fact that vampires are real was always a rumor that some people took seriously. The reveal simply confirmed their suspicions.
* '''Justified''':
** Modern technology makes it much more difficult to keep the existence of vampires a secret.
** [[ToUnmasqueTheWorld There was a conspiracy of people who fought to reveal the existence of vampires]] to the world, and they were ultimately successful.

* '''Double Subverted''': Then, additional proof is released, confirming that vampires are real.
* '''Parodied''': A diner in a restaurant has a dramatic reaction to being served garlic.
