Meh, not a big fan of werewolves but at least they're alive. That which is dead should remain inanimate.

Eh, zombies are simply too silly. Wear a thick leather jacket and you'd be untouchable.

The question is which monster is cooler.

Since I'm more a fan of the classic monsters, I realized that Boris Karloff (Frankenstein was the reanimated dead, so counts as a zombie) was much cooler than Bela Lugosi, who was cooler than Lon Chaney.

So in coolness, the order is zombies > vampires > werewolves.

Make sure you put the "Jr." after Lon Chaney; otherwise your statement is wrong.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Cheerfully noted.

You were the one I was worried was going to violently disagree with my assessment however of which actor was cooler...

I like the medieval myths of werewolves the best (usually a person who makes a pact with the devil).  I dislike all the silly weaknesses for the monsters.  Vampires must be staked in the heart, werewolves must be hit with silver, zombies must be shot in the brain.  Most of these seem kinda silly to me.  Dracula was killed by having his head chopped off with a steel knife.  I really don't understand the zombie one.  Why the brain?  Also I never liked the infectious nature of the attacks on all of them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You are right about Karloff the though.

Vampires, of course.

Eternal youth, emo-ness and hot guys writhing in ecstasy whenever you suck them. What's not to like?

Lon Jr. has his moments, (I really like his role in "My Favorite Brunette") but he's clearly not in the same league as Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff.  I could go either way with Lugosi or Karloff; Bela is obviously more suave, but Boris is far and away the better actor.

Zombies are way too gross and way too scary. Werewolves are way too hot and way too hairy.

But vampires are cold, sexy, powerful, and immortal.

Sexy in the in a necrophiliac type of way.

Looking eternally young?  Alright.

Being mentally a 15 year old for all eternity?  Lame.
