Yes, I would much rather watch a movie about a vampire that is actually scary.
I took this debate as being what our personal preference was as far they appear in the media so that's how I answered, but did you mean it in a different context, like which one would we rather fight, or who would win if they fought each other?
It was meant to be taken in any context: the better of the two, who would win, which has the best movies, etc. Just anything zombie or vampire.
I'm running out of movies.
Best zombie movies were Dawn of the Dead, Zombieland, and Dead Snow.
Best vampire movies were Nosferatu and Underworld.
Who would win?
I'd say the zombie. The zombie, like the vampire, is virtually immortal. However, the vampire only sucks blood; the zombie eats the body of it's victim.
The vampire burns in sunlight, which would give the zombie an advantage. However, if you are going according to the Romero zombies, they are very slow.
The zombie is already dead, and can only be killed if it's brain is destroyed - how can a blood-sucking vampire destroy a brain?
Zombie movies: Those and Fido and Dead Alive although those are less serious.
Vampire movies: Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire, Cronos, Let the Right One In
When it comes to a zombie vs a vampire fight, I agree with ricedaragh. Vampires are usually supernaturally strong and fast so it would be no trouble for one of them to incapacitate a lone zombie or a small group by using the traditional human methods (guns, shovels, picks) or just with their bare hands. However in the long run, zombies have the clear advantage. They don't starve, they don't sleep, they don't quit, and they can't be reasoned with. What they lack in innovation they make up for in numbers and determination.
I would like to point out that I prefer the shuffling Zombie. These new Zombies (Dawn of the Dead remake etc) that run seem a lot more physical and pose a far more immediate threat which takes away from the desolate creeping menace of the old movies.
Yea, definitely it seems that Hollywood is doing what Hollywood does and destroying the scary side of horror by glaming it up. You cant glamorize a Zombie.
Zombies are just ultimately more bad ass. Vampires wear all kinds of make up, wear fancy clothing, capes whereas a zombie just needs a body to feast on. Alive or dead.
Definitely. Zombies are the stuff of nightmares. They create the apocalypse. Vampires are only running around at night, afraid of day light, crosses, garlic, wooden steaks and Van Helsing. Zombies fear nothing.
zombies are like ghosts that you can touch and feel(if they did exist)because you cant kill a ghost just like you shouldn't be able to kill a zombie... because you can't kill something thats dead
I would have to take this in context is it one Vampire and one Zombie or is it some Vampires and undead hordes. As one Vampire would easily dispose of one Zombie. In the latter however I would have to say Zombies would win, in the end they always do. The scary part of the Zombie thing is the creeping menace, no matter how hard you try to hide or fight you will ultimately fail. Vampires would be no different. Their immortality would be meaningless when they are being chewed to meaty chunks.
Though the modern Vampire position tends to be surrounded by Beverly Hills Ridicule, I still choose Zombies on the basis that Zombies have the potential to gain all the superhuman traits that any vampire can through mutation of any kind. Kind of an Ace in the Hole for them really. Also, Zombies tend to be far more en masse than Vampires and could most likely defeat any vampire horde in ability. Finally, A Zombie Vampire might actually be the best idea here, even if both parties happen to be undead persay.
Lucio Fulci's zombies; Dario Argento's zombie-like demons; George A. Romero's zombies vs. The Twilight Saga. Zombies are rotten, decomposing, re-animated corpses, whereas modern-day vampires sparkle.
The idea of being immoral is thrilling yet quaint because who really wants to live forever unless you are stabbed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Van Helsing.
Are zombies mortal? If you've seen Daybreakers you'll know that vampires change without human blood. And anybody who knows anything about vampires know that they burn in sunlight.
exept for in twilight where they just sparkle in the light which i think is really dumb because then there is only one way to kill a vampire that is to burn it in a fire and take off its limbs which is also a rip off of...ZOMBIES( the whole taking off the limbs thing)
vampires are way better than zombies don't think strategically they just run around mindlessly killing things vampires think and can still use brain functions also with the fight or die mentality they i think they would end up defeating a zombie zombies suck
I'd rather not be decaying or mindless. As a vampire I'd at least be sane and coherent. I could deal with no sun, I'm pale anyway. The hardest part would be giving up garlic and onion, I love those.
