I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'edge in snipes' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'vampire movie' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blade that I've seen before include "A knife, or a dashing fellow" , "London rail terminus" , "Young chap, dashing" , "Flat part of an oar" , "See 24 Across" .)
