Werewolves or vampires?

Vampire gangs always have the really hot female vampires in leather, so I'll party with them.

I'm not a furry, while vamps have Baobhan sith. Vamps win.

Vamps are cooler considering their malice is intended.

vampires were pretty weak, and sickly until the age of film. Now Werewolves they have the black bitches of hecte, The mother of Romulus and Remus, and even Red Ridinghood's nemesis.

Well, you have the varacolaci from Romanian folklore which supposedly could cause solar and lunar eclipses. Moved around through astral projection, too...

Do you have any sources for vampires actually being killed by the sun, and not just being unable to move during the day? Because I'd like to read it, as I have been unable to find anything like that myself.

And as for weak vampires in legends, like I said, there's plenty of that for werewolves too. It all depends on what culture or region your studying.

Vampire wins. Why? He can pick up a gun.

Did you see Underworld? The average vampires where pussies without their guns.

As far as the animal kingdom goes, humans are pussies without their guns too.

Vampires are the fear of the dark and the unknown waiting in it. Werewolves are fear of the wild and untamable. While the wild is pretty scary and much more real, what you don't know is always scarier.

When hunting werewolves, one would be advised to take along a silver-headed cane or silver-plated sword. Oh, and wear plenty of armor so you don't get pinholed before you get a chance to use those.

When hunting a vampire, you can raid your neighbor's garden for some garlic and snap the leg from your old kitchen table.

Werewolves kick ass.

World of Darkness mythos, yes. Werewolves delve deeper into the supernatural world the older and more wiser they get. In the WoD, werewolves also have an innate ability to shift into a shadow-world that is almost completely unknown (and inaccessable) to Vampires.

But on the other-hand the really low generation vampires (in this case generation refers to how many times removed from Caine the vampire is) are damn near demi-gods.

Yet these demi-gods still get punked by the Shep Solution, amusingly.

I'd prefer to be the werewolf, but I'd like a little control over the changing frequency (silver nitrate injections or pills?).

One movie though, had an interesting Dracula.

Essentially, they had tied him to a platform, and had thrown a volleyball net over him, along with pouring several thousand seeds around him. The idea being that a vampire has to untie every knot he sees, and count all the seeds.

They were attempting to use vampire blood to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's or some similar medical miracle). At the end though, the vampire manages to escape. When they ask about the net, he merely pulls off the net, which is now in individual ropes (vamp been busy while tied up).

They say the seeds will save them, but the vampire merely looks at the guy and says 4,372 (or some number like that). The guy trying to run for safety then takes the whole bag of seed, and throws it.

You see a matrix time-freeze, and the vampire merely says 382,742 (or close). The guy is just staring at the vamp in shock, and one seed falls out of the back. The vampire corrects himself, and said 743.

Wish I could remember the name. That ending was interesting.

Wes Craven's Dracula II the ascension, where it's revealed that Dracula is really Casca Longinus, who became a vampire by drinking the blood of christ.

That, or you could simply stay in your house and mock the vampire from just inside the threshold that he can't cross unless you invite him in. When you tire of that, make sure you have one of Riff's stake-guns handy.

Damnit Sylas, I told you to keep that strictly under wraps.

Gives the term "artificial sunrise" a new layer of meaning, doesn't it?

What's with the vote, anyway? Vampires have so many weaknesses its not even funny. Hello? Any monster that you can get away from by crossing a friggin' stream because it can't follow over running water is not that great. And that's just one entry on the long line of weaknesses. They can't enter homes without an invitation; they simply die at sunrise unless they're unconscious in their coffins by the time it rolls around, leaving them hideously vulnerable; and are repelled by crosses, garlic, mirrors, and paintings of themselves as they were in life. A vampire is pitifully easy to drive off or destroy.

A whopping two posters. Personally, I'm putting my money more on the sexiness of vamps, rather than the yiff of the werewolves.
