Vampires actually are cooler. But zombies are way, way easier to write comedy songs about. ;)

Vampires have more complexity. And often better explanations. And sometime sex apeal. Zombies are a little boring. There is no such thing as a sexy zombie.
Then there is "I Am Legend", with vampire zombies.

The general notion of vampires has inspired a huge variety of different stories with very different creatures called vampires. Within that variety, some of the creatures are people I really enjoy reading about and playing with in my imagination; some of them are just icky and gross.

Zombies are much less rich and varied. They're uniformly icky and gross. I do love some of the comedy about them, but I don't like the basic idea. Is that inconsistent? Well, we couldn't have "Telly Taley Heart" without the Billy Ray Cyrus original either, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to the original.

It was a tough decision.

They've both got their strengths.

Zombies are easier to kill, but vampires are sexier. They also get better TV shows than zombies.

I have much anxiety about zombies. I snuck out of bed once when I was about 6 and watched "Return of the Living Dead." I had REOCURRING zombie dreams for twenty years. I kid you not. Fuuuuuck zombies.

I have yet to hear any classic beat tracks from the Vampires, but the Zombies are an all-time fave.

Oh, those Zombies....uhhhhhhhh.........

Um, do you mean as preferred enemy/ally, more scary, or personal goal?
