Who made the rules?

No going out into the sunlight, and you can't eat food but you must drink the blood of the living, also you'll never age and you can not die unless you are killed by a stake through the heart or burned by the sun, also you can not enter someones home or other living space unless the owner invite you in first..mmm these rules have always made me wonder who made the first rules for vampire's who wrote or came up with them I think maybe Bram Stoker, but I'm not certain I have watched many vampire films with these rules, over the years, and in the film Let Me In we finally saw what would happen if one of the most well known rules of vampire life was broken "You Can Not enter someones living space without being invited first" and based on what I saw in the film Let Me In it's never a good idea to test these famous vampire rules if you are a vampire lol Of course those general rules have been modified through the years to fit whatever style or story is being told at the moment, Twilight is a classic example of the rules being changed to fit the story tellers idea's of what a vampire should be. well seeing all these films and knowing most if not all the classic rules have got me thinking who made the rules for Vampire's was it Bram Stoker or someone else?
