Return to Famous Vampire Victims or Famous Zombie Victims

The above poster may seem fanciful today, but in ancient times zombies and vampires were frequently pitted against each other for the enjoyment of bloodthirsty spectators. So which is more formidable? It's a question I'm commonly asked. In the vernacular of boxing, here is the tale of the tape: Attribute Vampires Zombies Advantage Brain Highly Developed Barely Functional Vampires Eyes Night Vision Extreme Myopia Vampires Sense of Smell Above Average Exceptional Zombies Hearing Exceptional Impaired Vampires Jaws Powerful Vice-Like Zombies Nervous System Normal Capable of Repair Zombies Circulatory System Resilient Virtually Indestructible Zombies Strength Exceptional Powerful Grip Vampires Speed/Agility Advanced Stiff-Limbed, Slow Vampires

When vampires and zombies were pitted together in one-on-one combat, the vampire's advantage in the areas of speed/agility and brain power would usually be enough to trump the zombie's indestructibility. But the zombic tendency to cluster together in large packs often spelled trouble for vampires when the two met out in the real world.
