Zombies & Vampires



"An epiphany, yes. What else could warrant such profound thoughts?"


Zombies are not the same as Vampires. Here's why:

a) Zombies are dumb.
b) Zombies are slow.
c) They can be killed only by a headshot.
d) Zombies have no motive. They attack for no reason at all.
e) They are dead. (Yeah, this should have come a bit higher up but whatever)
f) When Zombies attack out of nowhere thay can scare you shitless. (Trust me, it's insane)
g) Zombies look like the dessert I left in my fridge when I was 4. (I swear there's purple mold on it)

On the other hand, when it comes to Vampires:

a) They are undeniably fast.
b) Vampires are alive/dead. (It's some weird quasi-state no one's quite sure of)
c) Vampires attack for blood. (I vant tu sock yur blud!)
d) Vampires plan attacks.
e) They can't survive sunlight. Or silver stakes through the heart. Or crucifixes. (Vampire + Sunlight = Crispy toast) 
f) They're not half as scary as Zombies. Sorry but fangs aren't exactly cool. Neither is flying around as a little hairy bat. (Think of them gay Twilight vampires to realize the truth in statement f))
g) Vampires are highly presentable. The slick black hair, cape, tuxedo- very classy indeed.

So yes, I repeat- Zombies aren't the same as Vampires. Making more of their kind by biting perfectly normal humans is pretty much the only trait they share. That and the fact they both feature in horror flicks. Then again, certain Zombies don't even have to bite- all it takes is a scratch, like the Zombies from Dawn of the Dead.

So the next time someone tells you that they think Vampires and Zombies are the same, ask them to think again. 

Oh and link them to my blog.
