No, because you didn't grant it consent to enter prior to death.
That only applies if you stick around haunting the house. If your soul moves on the house is no longer yours.

A vampire mesmerizing a victim into allowing entry always felt like cheating to me
Yes, that would be cheating.
Isn't that the entire reason behind the rule, so that they could write a way for the vampires to circumvent it. They established a fake rule that never used to exist and then proceeded to prop it up over and over until the reader believed it to be law, and then when they least expected it, it was dashed to pieces in an instant.
Of course it's cheating, but cheating at what exactly? Cheating at a rule that never even used to exist, was written specifically to later be broken in that very same book. It's like any puzzle design in writing, like murder mystery, they usually create the puzzle backwards by thinking of fun solutions to problems they could then create to lead there.
i guess not.
hollywood says vampires have to sparkly shine first.
some vamp lore says it is your invitation that counts and not the permission part.
some cultures need visitors to declare themselves human when knocking at your door.

I didn't think that much about it until this post. People here, me included, basically call out "(I'm a) human!" while knocking on the door.
Tao po?
Saglit lang! Sino po sila? (A moment please! Who are they?)
Lol! Yes!! That's exactly it! I never really thought much about it until this post. It's one of those things people just do, without thinking much about it.

They're fast, faster than you can imagine, don't look away and don't blink. Blink and you're dead.
Just say no.
That's quite impolite, isn't it?
Let's not victim blame the vampire prey now. They do not owe a blood-sucking villain their time nor respect.

The statement is more of a ritual appliance. I think the intent is key.
Vampires and humans are not known for enforcing laws against each other. Stake it before you get eaten rule. Eat then deny you were not invited in rule.
I'm not sure there is "binding magical power" in the food's words, and if not, it's not worth considering the food's words. Not much recent history of "magical god intervention" stopping rule breaking, and there would need to be a "magical human+vampire governing interventionist god" there to supervise all interactions.
Yes. This happened to my cousin Ronny. He's undead now.
First of all, why would you fuck around with a vampire? Second, don't try a not joke with them. I think if you wait to long between the "you may" and the "....NOT!", you're fucked.
This is vampire propaganda.
You're already at their mercy if they are talking to you.
