I'd say the vampire aspect was very closely related to the serial killer and mage aspect, rather than being something new. Most of the vampires were simply ancient mages a la Araya, and had similar motivations. The vampirism manifested primarily as brutal "tear them apart and eat their flesh and blood" themes and urges, which frankly isn't any different from the supernatural serial killer stuff in KnK. I wouldn't consider the distinction meaningful enough to say it was an entirely new theme. I would say that Arc's character was fairly distinct from anything in KnK though.
The porn I like to consider something that was simply thought to be mandatory for the genre.
