Well, shit, I did a search and didn't find this thread. My bad.

P.S.--Werewolves are way cooler. And a werewolf would beat a vampire for the same reason a 120 pound dog can defeat a 200+ pound man--pure feral savagery. A man may be smarter than a German Shepard, but can't match the dog for ferocity and natural tools. Werewolves are fearless, while vampires are conscious of their vulnerabilities, and even the limitations of their "immortality," therefore susceptible to fear.

After reading the mini-series SUPERMAN AND BATMAN VS VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES I can't decide. They're both mean and cool.

I just never got into the whole Ware wolves thing. I've seen tons of great vampire movies... But the only wolf movie I ever got into was "Teen Wolf" with Michael Jay Fox, lol. I guess maybe it's just a personal preference...

So you didn't like American Werewolf In London or The Howling? Those two ruled and Wolfen wasn't to bad either.

For sure. But with the crap that resides on video store shelves these days people miss out on a lot of cool/classic flicks. Good stores are few and far between since DVD took over completely.

I'm astounded that the werewolves are so far ahead of the vampires in this very unscientific poll. Is it backlash for the over exposure of vampires? Or is it a genuine preference for the werewolves?

It also occurred to me--not an original observation, I'm sure--that werewolves and vampires represent different extremes of the psyche. Werewolves are the id left unchecked, and vampires are the super ego left unchecked (not exclusively, and not always). Werewolves are still living and still mortal, generally, but are humans reduced to their most primitive instincts. Vampires are dead, and yet their minds live on eternally, generally, and in most depictions do not consider themselves human anymore; in fact, many times they consider themselves the superiors of humans through a kind of evolution.
