Writer's Block: The Eternal Nocturnal Struggle

Werewolves, by a huge margin. No comparison, really. They're less fearsome and tend to be less sinister - can be aware of their situation, and stories generally have them doing something about it. Tracking their transformation cycle, seeking a cure and at the very least locking themselves in a room or cage in the hope that they don't hurt anyone else. (either by devouring them, or worse, spreading the infection / curse) Almost a version of the Hulk.

When I think of Vampires, I think of evil, soulless and ugly predators, draining people of lifeblood and spirit at the same time, rather than the"Tormented Soul fighting an addiction" sort. My mindset sees them as incurable and dangerous - never actually loving anyone, but rather preying on those who are weak or in need. Abominations before man and his god(s), just cruel, cold mockeries of what a feeling and loving person could be.
