''Vampires are rare,'' opines Dr. Van Helsing, the expert on all things undead, in the revival of the drama ''Dracula'' that opened Wednesday night at the Little Shubert Theater. ''Nature abhors them, the forces of good combine to destroy them, but a few of these creatures have lived on for centuries.'' Ahem, excuse me? A few? I know you're the world-famous authority, Dr. Van H., but I fear I must demur. Nature seems to have done an about-face in recent years, adoring where it once abhorred. Far from being exotic rarities these days, vampires are all but ubiquitous, the very lifeblood, if you will, of popular culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
