Vampires vs Zombies

[Trista]

What is your opinion on vampires vs zombies? Who would win the battle? Can a vampire turn into a zombie? Why or why not? Would a zombie eat vampires? Why or why not? Feel free to be as creative as you want!

Vampires would be totally immune to zombies, unless the zombie could literally destroy the vampire.
1. Vampires are immune to disease. The zombie plague is s disease. It in and of itself wouldn't turn a vampire.
2. Vampires would not feed on zombies. They need fresh blood, not blood from the dead.
3. A vampire is fast, smart, and immune to zombie bites. It's a no brainier to this zombie author.
A vampire will win against a zombie. It will win against several zombies. But in the end, when the humans are all walking deaf, the Bampires will starve to death while rotting death still roams the earth.

Glyn-
I love all of the great points that you made! I agree that a vampire would definitely win against zombies with their superhuman speed and strength. The concern of course is that the vampires would starve to death with a lack of fresh blood and therefore would ultimately be defeated while the zombies still roamed free.

You kinda pitched that one into my wheelhouse.

I wonder though, would zombies even attempt to attack vampires? I think not since the vamps are already dead and wouldn't have an appealing scent to the zombies. Do you agree or do you have a different theory?

[Glyn]

I've always seen zombies as visual hunters. I'm not sure how much smell plays into it. I definitely don't buy the WWZ- they can smell disease thing.
I guess they could use scent as a screening to decide food/ not food. Vampires definitely don't smell of decay. So, a zombie might view them as moving, and not dead: food.

[Trista]

I sure like your theory and it stands to reason the movement/sound would attract them more than scent. Zombies are dumb enough they probably wouldn't know the difference!

Just walking around looking to bite something and spread their disease.

Hahaha! Isn't that the truth!
