Sounds like an angry chimp



Sorry, that was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post :p :D

True. And in human form, he is no match.

Another point in favor of the vampire.

And even in the feral state, the vampire does not stop thinking with reasoning completely. When it is a fight to the death or when its cornered with no other way to beat its opponent, the vampire will do everything in its power to survive.

I forgot another key power of the vampire - hypnosis. It can be very effective, especially when the werewolf gets powerless when the moon goes down.

It all comes down to brains vs brawn in the end, IMO. And there, the vampire has the larger slice of the cake.

Aw, heck, an angry chimp would beat the hell out of both of them. The chimp would take the vampire out first--he would grab the vampire's arm as the vampire was reaching for him, and swing the vampire right into the nearest wall, impaling him on the broken boards sticking out of the wall. Then it would shove a silver candlestick down the werewolf's throat. Then it would jump up and down on both of them and screech a lot. ;)

The parallels between Vampire vs. Werewolf and Bruce Lee vs. Angry Chimp are uncanny. I never looked at it like that but it's true & I'm glad it was pointed out.

Just like I'm sure Bruce Lee would fuck up an Angry Chimp, a Vampire would fuck up a Werewolf.

if it came down to a melee confrontation in the dead of night between a werewolf in wolf form and a vampire, the werewolf would possibly lose, but werewolves can stake a vampire during the day. The capacity to engage in daylight operations is important. Human beings kill vampires all the time in movies because of the capacity to exploit this vulnerability and as werewolves are essentially human, they too can. Vampires can be killed by several things, werewolves can be killed by one. Werewolves can be repulsed by wolfsbane, vampires can be repulsed by crosses, garlic and running water. The werewolf is the stronger contender. And if a vampire confronts a werewolf during the fullmoon, the vampire will probably get mauled to the point of paralysis and torn limb from limb. Hypnosis on an 8 foot tall rampaging wolfgod? Come on! There isn't enough mind to control during this time.

Wow. Crabapple made probably the most sensible post (#17) in the thread. I feel so...dirty.

:p

In a cage fight I'd say a Werewolf.

In a fight through a town I'd say a Vampire.


As a human I'd rather be up against a Vampire. You could implore them to turn you into a creature of the night. With a werewolf you have no chance.

Well, in a "fight to the death" the werewolf would automatically win, since vampire's are already dead, right?

Can we be more specific with what TYPE of vampire and werewolf? There are many different views.

Dog Soldiers wolves would DOMINATE vampires, but the werewolf from Cursed would get owned. It's all about variation. Some vampires are depicted inaccurately. IMO the best depiction was in From Dusk Til' Dawn. Vampies are supposed to be trashy renegades who hang out and cause trouble, and neck pain. Not the classy, leather clad types we see in most flicks.

Of course everyone has a different view, just sharing mine.
