Zombies are more dangerous than Vampires.

Greeting lovers of gore and the undead! Many apologies to my opponent for my forfeit last previous round and the subsequent shortening of this debate; conduct points to him.OPENINGThe undead; creatures of darkness and doom!I have long been a fan of horror movies, but my absolute favourite antagonist is certainly the humble zombie. These creatures delight me, because they are so simple yet exponentially effective with each passing moment. This is not to say I don’t like vampires, but I much prefer zombalinis.Moving on…ARGUMENTSZombies can survive sunlight; vampires cannot. Even if my opponent wants to mention the few specific exceptions to this argument, he must surely agree that in the general mythology surrounding these two threats, it is almost always the case. Vampires are inherently creatures of the night. Generally, they catch on fire and die their second death when exposed to sunlight. Zombies don’t have this problem. Given that around half an Earth year is daytime, this clearly gives zombies an advantage. In a vampire apocalypse situation, survivors would be able to venture out during the day.All corpses are potentially zombies; vampires must be made. Again, my opponent may want to mention exceptions to this argument, but this is a very common version of both of these creature’s mythology. The danger here is that if you have a secure location, one of the members of your group could turn unexpectedly (natural causes, in an accident, etc.) and return to kill one of your other members or you. It is very rarely does vampire mythology not have some kind of ‘siring’ ritual where the vampire feeds their own blood to a drained human to turn them.Zombies are a mindless horde; vampires have logic and powers… wait what? So I suppose you are wondering how this could possibly be an advantage to the zombies. Well, I suppose it isn’t, but I want to make a pre-emptive counter-argument anyway.What creature doesn’t a zombie kill, ever? Another zombie of course! This is because zombies simply have one drive; to eat the living. Vampires may have powers and logic, but this is often their undoing! You see, one fairly standard vampire (super strength and speed) may have been able to take out the group living in the Mall in Dawn of the Dead with ease. However vampires are perhaps too smart; they know that feasting can never be endless, yet they have this insatiable need to drink human blood. Take the movie Daybreakers for example [1]. This is a vampire apocalypse movie, much like the one I envisioned when making this debate. In it, the vampires have most of the humans left in a vegetative state, but there is an rebellion obviously. When the vampires begin to run out of blood and the poor (free-market economy for the win) begin to starve and turn into half-bat creatures that kill other vampires.In summary, vampires are capable of conspiring against each other; zombies are not.A thirst which must be satisfied These creatures have their taste in victim in common sure, but there is an important consideration to make. Vampires may kick royal arse when they have a belly full of fresh human blood, but those powers come at a cost, the thirst. Zombies have no such hindrance. They will keep coming until their bodies succumb to decay and no longer function. They won’t grow weak or tired. They’ll keep banging on the door, attracting more and more zombies until the door gives way or they all rot.CONCLUSION The humble zombie; in a battle the vampire would utterly destroy the zombie but in an apocalypse situation? I am not so sure. Vampires would have some advantage in being able to get at survivors but ultimately they don’t have any way of knowing where humans are hiding. The world is too big! However, with all the disadvantages I’ve mentioned above, you can see the advantage of the tried and tested zombie. In a vampire apocalypse, you would be safe during the day. In a vampire apocalypse, you don’t have to fear being killed by your 5 year old daughter in your sleep when you were otherwise safe. To reiterate, vampires are capable of conspiring against each other, zombies are not. Zombies are tireless, vampires are not. Resolution affirmed.SOURCES[1] http://www.imdb.com...
