Werewolves Versus Vampires
filed in Beasties on Mar.08, 2010
Vampires have been done to death (’s’cuse the pun) and I’m sick of hearing about them. Give me a werewolf any day.
Granted there have been some brilliant vampiric novels/films/TV series which include The Underworld and True Blood but I now think that vampires have had their day.
Vampires are often eroticised but why? They’re cold blooded killers. Is it because of their desire to go for the neck or throat which can appear to be quite sensual? But then ABC’s do too and we don’t eroticise them!
Is is because they tend to need or prefer to charm their victims before they go for the bite? Is it because they have the power to hypnotise their victims, also? But, surely that would frighten you more if you thought events would be out of your control? Or is it because they keep their human form?
Werewolves have been ’seen’ in many places over the world but has anyone reportedly seen a ‘real’ vampire?
Maybe I lean towards werewolves more because anything that resembles a wild, rabid dog is guaranteed to give me the heebie jeebies.
Which do you ‘prefer’ and why?
