But it is pretty cool looking nonetheless.
It's important to bear in mind that it is very common for trailers and TV series promos to have brief clips of dialog strung together totally out of context, giving the impression of plot points that are actually very different from what is in the real story.Julia's question, Barnabas' response, and Roger's reaction could be taken from three completely different scenes for all we know. Though even if they are from the same scene and they're actually seen in sequence in the film in the same way as they appear in the consumer survey's tailer, that still doesn't necessarily mean that the family believes Barnabas is literally a vampire. They could take his remark to mean he's metaphorically a vampire, just as many businessmen might describe themselves. And considering how Roger's character is supposed to be in the film, that would excite him, which would explain his reaction if it does indeed come from the same scene.
Many people here were defending the 1972 present day story setting largely based on the idea that if our present day was used it would be a lot easier to find out about Barnabas' false stated background. TPTB set present day 1972 just to give JD more room to work his comedic take on the character with respect to him adjusting to said time period. If they set in in our present time JD would have even more material to work with.
