There was an article in
NYT discerning vampires from zombies. Now that was one important article!
At any rate, here is how the author differentiates them:
quote:
Vampires are smooth and charismatic. They drink blood as if it were the finest pinot noir. Zombies, on the other hand, are awkward and clumsy, yet un-self-conscious about the fact that their eyeballs are falling out.
Vampires prance. Zombies plod.
Vampires romance you, then strike quickly, then suck all your blood out of your body. Zombies chase you, very, very slowly, in a pack, then gnaw on your flesh like dogs. (Unless, of course, they are so-called fast zombies, in which case they chase you very, very quickly, then gnaw on your flesh like dogs.)
Vampires are solitary and antisocial and sleep in the ground. Zombies are extroverts, hanging out in big, rowdy clusters, moaning and shrieking, and apparently never sleeping at all.
Then they cite famous vampires who mistakenly think they're zombies, and vice versa:

Are you a zombie or a vampire? I'm not sure what I am.
By the way: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
