Monster Mash Tournament Round 2: Vampire vs. Cthulhu
Vampires
Things you always wanted to know about vampires:
According to the Scripture of Delphi, the first vampire started out as a human, not a vampire. He was a man named Ambrogio, an Italian adventurer who found himself in Delphi, Greece. The Greek god Apollo cursed him that if his skin ever touched sunlight, it would burn. Apollo’s sister, Artemis, cursed him that if his skin ever touched silver, it would burn.
The most common ways of killing a vampire are: sunlight, wooden stake to the heart, decapitation, burning, and silver.
The folks at Sesame Street used actual vampire mythology as the basis of their character Count von Count. In some cultures, a way to ward off vampires is to throw seeds outside a door or to place it in a net outside of a window. Vampires feel compelled to count the seeds, which delays them until the sun comes up.
Cthulhu
Cthulhu is part of a larger overarching mythology that H.P. Lovecraft created involving extraterrestrial creatures whose existence is beyond human understanding. Cthulhu is the most famous of Lovecraft’s creations. He is believed by some to be the monster in the movie "Cloverfield". In the story “The Call of Cthulhu”, the characters in the story only see him through dreams or artwork. Cthulhu once ruled the Earth and is destined to rule it again. He was trapped in the ocean after a massive earthquake sunk the city he lived in. Although there are variations on the way his name is pronounced, the most popular pronunciation among Cthulhu fans is "kuh-THOO-loo."
This is a matchup of clear heavyweights in the monster world. Vampires have amazing fighting skills. Unlike most monsters, they have the intelligence to go along with their physical skills which include superhuman strength and preternatural speed and agility. Depending on the myth, they also have shape-shifting ability. Having said that, I can’t imagine what a vampire would be able to do against Cthulhu, who is giant in size and stature. Besides his physical attributes, Cthulhu is also able to telepathically communicate with creative or insane people. The vampire would put up a good fight, but in the end, Cthulhu would crush the vampire on his way to the final of the monster mash tournament.
