Vampires are creatures of cinematic legend, but what would it be like to actually be one? I can see several advantages and disadvantages:

Pro: You get to sleep all day!

Con: You'll never be able to get to the bank in time.

Pro: You get to feast on the blood of who ever you choose.

Con: Such a liquid heavy diet would play havoc with your digestive system.

Pro: You can turn into a bat and fly.

Con: Bat's get sucked into airplane engines all the time.

Pro: You might get to live in a huge castle.

Con: Local residents will frequently try to burn it down, and attack you with pitchforks.

Pro: You will gain incredibly physical strength.

Con: Your body will become quite soft, and sharp pieces of wood could easily pass through your breatplate and into your heart.

Pro: As no one would see your reflection in a mirror, you can sneak up on them a little easier.

Con: You can't check your hair. Ever.

Pro: Women will fall at your feet when you gaze into their eyes.

Con: You have incredibly bad breath which will put anyone off.

Pro: You'll never get any older.

Con: You have to sleep in a coffin every night, how uncomfortable must that be?

Pro: Peter Cushing's dead, so won't be after ramming a stake through your heart.

Con: Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't and she's coming after you.

Pro: You can manipulate people using the powers of your mind.

Con: You're scared of crosses, anyone can make a cross, even with their fingers!

So there you have it. Would you want to remain as a human, able to get up during the day to watch Diagnosis Murder, and relinquish the powers of the creature of the night?

You could try and do both, but I think that would make you a Batman rip-off!

I don't think I'd be a vampire. All the good vampires in films seem to hate being vampires.

Blade didn't like it.
Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire hated it (I think - I've not seen it in ages)


Errr....

That's about it. But no, I wouldn't like to be a vampire.


Maybe Blade though. If I could get rid of my need for that serum. :-D

Hmpf, why do we have to have bad breathe? And good castles are damn hard to find nowadays, just you try it. Damn stereotypes.

Er, they.

*sidles off*

Although I do seem to have a habit of stealing heat from anyone I touch, as Jess will confirm...heat vampires...

I watched The Lost Boys the other day for the first time in years. Vampires with mullets. Cool. Never seen a vampire with an afro though.

A pig with it's throat torn out, no less. For that's the tradition in Littleport. ;-)

The advantage of being a werewolf is that it's not full time, definitely, just go mental when the moon is fat and slaughter all those that annoy you.

Egor would depress you after a while...

And Nanny would get on your nerves straight away!

Give me being a Werewolf any day. Much less time consuming.

Although being a vamp would have some advantages. What cliched it for me was having Buffy chacing after you (hey its contact).

Being a Werewolf would be much like being blind drunk i reckon.

It would only happen once or twice a month.

Theres the bad smell,

The hairy toungue feeling,

suddenly women are falling over themselves to get away from you and you wake up the next morning not being able to remember where the pig next to you came from.
