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.
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.
