Morning Snip:
Vive (?) la différence
Reviewing the new AMC Series, The Walking Dead, Alessandra Stanley nails a cultural distinction of vital importance.
All it really takes to outrun a zombie is a car. Also, a bullet to the head will stop one cold. And that may explain why so many men prefer zombies to vampires: zombie stories pivot on men’s two favorite things: fast cars and guns. Better yet, zombies almost never talk. Vampires, especially of late, are mostly a female obsession. Works like “Twilight” and “True Blood” suggest that the best way to defeat a vampire is to make him fall so in love that he resists the urge to bite. And that’s a powerful, if naïve, female fantasy: a mate so besotted he gives up his most primal cravings for the woman he loves.
Wow this is a good question! I’ve also been a fan since the Romero clcssias. The thought of a zombie apocalypse also makes you wonder what you would do in a situation like that. If it came down to the old slow Romero zombies then I think the vampires have the upperhand on the slower moving zombies. Plus vampires have above human strength. I doubt they would bite a zombie since they would turn into ZOMBIE VAMPIRES!! :O I give the the vampires a win due to strength and speed.
