Vampires + bedbugs are:

1/ Both bloodsuckers. Need to feed on our blood to live.

2/ Both associated with feeding on humans at night, especially as they sleep in bed. (although bedbugs can feed even in daytime)

3/ Both associated with bats. In lots of stories, vampires morph into bats. Bats are known carriers of batbugs as well as bedbugs. Weird coincidence that they chose the bat as the animal that vamps change into.

4/ The vampire bite mark – the pair of puncture marks – can look a lot like a series of bite marks a bedbug makes, as it travels up our skin, feeding from one spot to the next.

Seems like your subconscious made the connection betw vampires and bedbugs too. Gotta agree True Blood is a great show.
