> A flat-earther would just say that the sun travels in a circle, following the "equator". It just shines down on the Earth in the places it is overhead like a flashlight. When it shines in the UK, it isn't overhead in Australia, so the vampires think it is night.

The flat-earth theory is much cooler (though no better) if they say that the sun and the moon are also flat disks. It adds a sort of nonsensical symmetry, since it is just as counter to visual observation as the rest of the story.
