Undead Madness
Nickeris86:
It depends on what region of vampire you are looking at. Every culture has had vampires in one form or another, in a lot of them they were nothing more than wild rabid animals who only sought to kill and destroy. Hell the ways to kill them, aside form sunlight which seems fairly universal, are rarely the same.
Same goes for zombies, "real" zombies couldn't be destroyed unless you burned them and in modern media the closest, according to an actual voodoo priest, was the Anita Blake vampire hunter series. you know when it still had zombies in it.

You know how it is... always wanting what you can't have.
Snowleopard:

people are freaking crazy.
but in all honesty i think it has to do with peoples fear of death, and various taboos on cannibalism.
Zombies could represent man kinds fear of the unknown after death and that there is perhaps only nothingness waiting for us, since zombies are empty shells trying to uselessly fill themselves. while vampires could be construed of the temptation to cheat death at the expense of another life. both are fears and temptations that most people have faced at one point or another.
then their are the weirdos like myself that hold no fear of death, dying yes death itself not so much. that's the belife that i base necromancy on, curiosity of the eternity and the secrets it holds. Death is neither good nor evil it just is and always will be, things can not change without something else ending the natural course of life.
