So I went to see 30 Days of Night yesturday night and it's probably the best vampire movie I've seen in a long time, better than Blade and Underworld. I think the last good vampire movie I've seen was John Carpenter's Vampires. It got me thinking, which is more of a threat to humans, vampires or zombies, I came up with my own little compairson this morning since I was bored...here it goes.
Vampires
Strengths:
They can smell human blood (so it makes it easier to find humans)
They're much smarter than zombies (so they can get past traps, and use logic to find humans such as baiting a human)
They have a high vertical (so if under attack or attacking it prooves as an advantage)
Weaknesses:
There are few vampires in compairson to zombies (so if one were to die it'd be easier for the next to die)
Stabbing through the heart (so in the unlikely event that this happens it would suck for that vampire)
Sunlight (so stay in the sun and hide in the dark)
Needs for survival:
Blood (so don't bleed or atleast try not to)
Darkness (so do your best to not be in it)
Zombies
Strengths:
Heightened hearing (so be quiet)
Heightened vision (so stay out of sight)
Numbers (so if you kill one, whoopty do...now just 999,999 more)
Relentless (so don't get yourself backed into a corner)
Weaknesses:
Thoughtless (so use your smarts)
Slow (so run or aim)
Shooting them in the head (so aim harder)
Needs for Survival:
Fresh Human Flesh (so hard to find theses days)
Common Traits
Strengths:
Physical Strength (so don't go Bruce Lee on em, espcially if it's a zombie and/or vampire Bruce Lee)
Agressive (so don't even try to reason with them)
Near Immortality (so outliving them can prove difficult)
Stealthy (so watch out)
Lack of a need for oxygen (so chocking them doesn't work or drowning them, or sending them into space)
Weaknesses:
Decapitation (so swing that ax harder)
And the victor is...
Zombies
The Why:
The threat of numbers and ability to hunt and night and day means more time for people to change on over to being a zombie than being a vampire.
