Because Lilith is not actually mentioned in the Christian bible despite this wiki page's attestation she is mentioned in Isaiah. She only appears in rabbitic literature.
Lilith is also the catalyst to a lot of vampire myths often described as the mother of all vampires.
I can't remember where I read this, but I remember reading that the inspiration for vampiric lore was rabies. Fear of water (vampires can't go over running water), fear of the sun, spread by biting...
rabbitic
