Vampire books are hot (or cold depending on how you look at it) and Zombie books and films are even hotter. What I am about to suggest has already been done numerous times, but for your next book, graphic novel, or autobiography, why not try a Vampire v. Zombie book? Consider the possiblities.
The battles of the undead. The Zombies are gory and stupid but able to walk at all times of the day, albeit slowly. The Vampires are intelligent and creepy, but limited to getting around at night. (I refuse to accept the Twilight version of vampires.) There are more Zombies than Vampires, giving the Zombies an unfair advantage. Besides their numbers, the Zombies would have an easier time killing the Vampires because they could use pieces of their coffins as stakes.
For a point by point analysis, please check out this link here, which is from the "Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency" who has the sole purpose of pretending to control the populations of both Vampires and Zombies, maybe similar to how the TSA has the purpose of pretending to keep airplanes safe by ensuring that there are no tweezers hidden in our shoes.
TIME magazine, apparently having nothing more important to report about than the Zombification of the United States, has even weighed in on the debate, claiming that Vampires would win, and that Zombies are most assuredly not here to stay. TIME doesn't come out and say it, but the reason has to be that Vampires are way, way sexier than their Zombie counterparts. Think about it: how many sexy Vampires have you seen versus sexy Zombies?
TIME gets a little stranger about the Zombies and Vampires, though, calling the Zombies "the official monster of the recession". OK......I know that sponsorship is out of control, but who ever thought a recession would need an official monster? Was the Lochness Monster the official monster of the Depression?
The reasons given for the exaltation of the Zombie are as ridiculous as the entire debate about a Zombie Vampire fight. According to TIME:
"If there's something new about today's zombie, it's his relatability. Sure, he's an abomination and a crime against all that is good and holy. But he exemplifies some real American values too. He's plucky and tenacious — you can cut off his limbs and he'll keep on coming atcha."
Those are some real American values for sure. While I'm confident the article was tongue-in-cheek, I'm curious why TIME has had not only one, but two articles devoted to Zombies and Vampires.
