To my knowledge, mummies are the only ones on this list that don't multiply.

They're also the least likely to menace me personally.

uh...witches already live among us, so I went with vampires. I've always wanted to follow in Buffy's footsteps!

The only problem seems to be that they usually come attached to really horrific curses... >.>

Witches are hot! ;-)

I know you guys chose witches because you are thinking of the sexy, sultry kind. You are thinking they will all be Emma Watson and the chicks from Charmed, when they would end up as Elphaba or, Heaven forbid, Bette Midler's character from Hocus Pocus.

And it's obviously werewolves. You only need to lock up one night a month.

Vampires and I'll be first in line to get bit. I've always wanted to be immortal and live in a creepy castle.

Unfortunately, I'm sure at least half the voters who chose vampires only did so because of crap like Twilight.

If zombies were real, life would be way more interesting. We would have no more need for video games, and bullets would become a world currency :D

I would much rather burn a mummy then a witch! And what they only live in mostly South America, and Egypt? Not too bad!

Wellllll I guess I wouldn't mind burning a twilight vampire though, so hmmmmm

Had to vote for zombies. What else are the zombie apocalypse kits good for?

Vampires? Which kind? There's all sorts and alot of them do not need blood to survive on.

Werewolves? Why just lycanthropy? How about were-leopards/bears/jackals/deer/etc?

The people who voted for witches: There's already white (good) & black (evil) witches. Ask any Wiccan. (Yes, there are good/bad Wiccans; they're people too).

Mummies? It takes ALOT of preparation to create a mummy. The whole need a curse/removing internal organs gets annoying. Also, which kind? The typcast Egyptian mummy, who's been dead for thousands of years and is a dried husk? Incan? Myan? (south american mummies).

Currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse series and for those who don't know, it's about what would happen if vampires were real and came out of hiding (Not a spoiler...you find it out at the beginning.)

Witches, because magic rocks my socks off. And also they are the most benign of the choices.

Gotta go with zombies. Of that list, they seem like the easiest to manage. The others have magical powers that would be really difficult to deal with and/or intelligence. Almost voted for werewolves but I would definitely have a problem killing werewolves. Not so much zombies.

Exactly. Anything other than mummies could really cause some havoc. Mummies are slow as hell and don't really have any special powers. They are the sloth of the group.

Psssshhhh as if.

I voted for vampires because of *True Blood*!

Absolutely. Unless I go to Egypt, I'm not running into a mummy. Plus, I don't have to worry about killing everyone who has ever run into a mummy...

Screw Zombies (Being eaten alive sounds like the most painful experience ever). Vampires and Werewolves are for f*gs. Witches are meh, that would be my second choice simply so I could do some stake burnings. Aliens would be too difficult to dispose of. I want something I can kill.

I agree, except for the love of God! Please make it the Romero style slow-moving zombies instead of the zombies-hopped-up-on-Crank that 28 Days Later has introduced.

Would it still be legal to hunt them?

Witches ftw, they are all gals, so you might even get some.

Witches aren't monsters!!!
That said, I'm choosing Zombies. Seems most easily manipulated ... Just watch Fido :>

I would have to vote for aliens, if for no other reason than to shut up the people who always quote a million reasons why aliens can't exist.

Witches aren't usually monsters, they're usually humans - granted, often, though not always, evil humans - who have learned some form of magic. Which implies magic is real. Which implies at least a possibility that I could learn magic, too.

Aliens was a close second, though, since even if they were the mindless human-eating, chest-explody kind, it'd still mean proof we weren't alone in the universe, and that would be huge. But not as huge as magic.

Mummies.

Far fewer in number than average corpses, impaired vision and mobility, highly flammable.

Yeah if I had to I'd pick mummies.

Curses would probably get annoying, but not any worse than witches.

I feel that if anyone studies those huge spell books long enough they could gain the magical powers of a witch. Even the Average Joe could join the rank and file witches (and warlocks), which would certainly make life interesting.

That's not quite as bad as Twilight . . . I guess.

Witches because there aren't really any negatives to being a witch

And we can build bridges out of them

Hey if the question is posed we can set the conditions.
zombies SSLLOOOOWWWW moving with heavy rigamortis.
Vampires with false teeth - that poses the question. if you turn into one with dentures what then?
Werewolves with electronic shock collars - that would stop the night howling.
Mummies that could travel as far as there linen would let them,, wait wait.. What's a mummies favorite music - Wrap, get it....
Witches who could only do magic in Vegas, seen the show meh..
Aliens with chest bursting buttons that love to hug faces.. hmmm seen that somewhere before,, Border club nah..

Aliens FTW!

Vampires, so I could become one.

And no, I did not pick vampires because of either True Blood OR Twilight...or even Buffy, as a matter of fact. My love affair with vampires started when I read the book/saw the movie Interview With the Vampire. I'm a hipster vampire lover...I loved them before it was COOL.

I chose witches, not because they are hot or anything. I chose them because they are only menacing if you give them a reason to be, all the other choices seem to attack/feed indiscriminately.

Mummies because they are funny and harmless

I think you're wrong, but have no fear... I think you make a VERY good point! Yes, the witches you mention are... gross. I chose witches because of (DUH!) Harry Potter! All that crap they do is just plain fun! Even their "evil" stuff is fun. Another score for Potter!

But can you not also build bridges out of stone?

Zombies all the way, because then I could hold up in a Sports Authority, or maybe a Walmart (cause they have food and guns) and you get to run stuff over with cars, because you don't want Zombie goo on you.

curtisuxor wrote:And it's obviously werewolves. You only need to lock up one night a month.

Exactly. Plus we have hundreds of years of military and civilian research optimizing these neat things called firearms, which it just happens can trivially fire silver-jacketed bullets. You want compact, high capacity, maximum rate-of-fire -- you name it, there's a gun ready made that suits your requirement nicely.

While power staking implements are easily derived from various existing platforms (spudguns, spearguns, crossbows, etc.), they tend to turn out more unwieldy, slower firing, and less reliable -- plus you've gotta carry them every night, versus one to three nights a month.

Eh? You can shoot people trying to kill you, you can shoot wolves; what's so rough about shooting werewolves trying to kill you? Just cause he might regret it in the morning? If so, maybe he should've locked himself up better.

My thoughts exactly.

I just want to point out that mummies already do exist. Should that worry me?
