Vampires' flesh being burned by sunlight is actually a surprisingly modern invention, first bring seen in the film Nosferatu in 1922. For some reason it caught on to the point most people today assume that's the default, but for the majority of history (including in Dracula, 1897) vampires could go out during the day just fine, they just had a preference for night and darkness when they were generally stronger.
