In my honest opinion, I hate to say that the Twilight vampires would win.

Though I wish it would be the other way around, seeing as the vampires from 30DON are apex predators, who use their primal instincts to attack, ambush, and overrun their prey (which is totally how I picture vampires), the vampires from Twilight do have special powers that differentiates them from the 30DON ones.

If it were just hand to hand, fang to fang combat, with no special powers other than a vampire’s natural resilience to harm, I’d say that the vampires from 30DON would take the cake, due to their brutality and savagery.

The Vampires in 30 days of night are completely different they are vicious animals who not only drink human blood but eat their flesh as well.

I think it’s funny that David Slade was the director of both 30 Days of Night and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. 30 days of night shows what a real vampire is but at the same time he made the vampires in Eclipse more brutal than in the first two parts of the twilight saga. That’s cool.

(Sorry for my bad english)

While the Twilight vampires have obvious advantages, you have no clue as to how they stack up against the 30don vampires. Who knows? Those claws and fangs of theirs might be able to rip the skin from a twihards back like paper.

I’m a 16-year-old chinesegirl.
I like Twilight very much.
And my friends crazy about the movie,it’s no doubt that Edward is handsome and cool.But I think the most important point is the story is romantic!The books are popular in the library of our city.
So,I support the Twilight saga!!!!!

Unfortunately I had the missery of sitting through “Twilight”, but have never seen “30 Days of Night”. But, I say this….”30 Days of Night” can’t be has horrible as “Twilight” was.

Twilight… the vamps in 30 days of night.. showed no fighting.. wow they can tip over a car.. but it also showed 5 of them doing it… it would take Edward Cullen to do that.. and Emmett? he would kick some ass.. the 30 days of night vamps are scarey and all because they eat humans and rip them to shreds… but look at the half vamp take out the master… you would never find the twilight vamps taken out by a half vamp… my vote to twilight

A bunch of wuss, angsty vampires who like to kill young deer’s mothers (truth behind Bambi) versus vicious, bloodthirsty vampires who wouldn’t even hesitate in ripping someone’s throat out… HMM… WHO COULD POSSIBLY WIN IN THAT FIGHT? I HAVE NO IDEA. *sarcasm*

I personally detest the vampires as portrayed within the Twilight series of books and related movies for the simple fact that they’re too perfect.

I’ve never been a fan of this modern day conceit of having the vampires be the epitome of beauty as portrayed within the Anne Rice novels and others of this ilk and feel that Steve Niles beasties have a lot more grit to them especially as they are presented within the graphic novels.

I found myself identifying more with Jacob and the Werewolves and really saw the vampires feelings of superiority towards the werewolves somewhat conscending especially as the wolves had been kind enough to allow them a space adjacent to their ancestral lands rather than just rending the limb from limb.

[...] I won’t try to shatter that illusion any more than I already have. Plus, the news that 30 Days of Night director David Slade (above) will be helming Eclipse has made me slightly curious about the film [...]

Lets face it Twilight vampires have no personality, they’re uninteresting, abusive, mentally unstable, and BORING BORING BORING not to mention they sparkle….need I say more. 30 Days of Night vampires are merciless, horrifying monsters who couldn’t care less about humans and just want to kill them all no matter what age. Now THAT is what I call a vampire story. I miss the days when I was actually scared of vampires…now because of Twilight they’re just so pathetic

I’m a comic book fan and a vampire fan. Niles said in an interview at G4 that he created the series of 30 Days of Night to bring the fear of vampires back to whoever reads it. While he has no beef with the romantic view of the vampire, he thought that there should be at least one story where people should fear the vampire like they did when they read Dracula.

And I think that the Twilight saga vampires wouldn’t stand a chance if they went up against the vampires of 30 Days of Night. Those vampires are more animal then human.

I’m 17. I’m a bit cynical, and also I hang out with anti-twilight people most of the time. The books struck me, I was obcessed, but I came out of it when I started tthinking more and more about I realized that Edward isn’t a guy that I wouldn’t want to date.

And that’s just reading the first two books.

And you’re titled to your opnion. I prefer my vampires darker and less angsty. Also, doesn’t Edward try to contorl Bella? I remember many moments of that.

But then again, it’s just my opinion. I don’t really want to get into an arguement.

@Amanda
Within the first 100 pages of “Breaking Dawn,” Bella is hurt during their wedding night. She has visible bruises inflicted by Edward, albeit out of “passion” or “love”-whatever Twilighters want to call it. I would guess that this is what Claire is referring to, and I’ll bet that gets cut from the film version.

It is appalling to hear that this sort of domestic violence is looked over by so many parents. Somehow it’s justified and okay for Edward to bruise Bella so long as its under the umbrella of passion/love.

To Claire,

While your allowed your opinion, how old are you?I’m curious because I’m 14 and my Mom and I have read all the series, and neither of us find Edward Cullen to be (as you put it)a wuss or abusive to Bella.In our opinion he is a love struck vampire who has been trying to figure out who he is and where he belongs and what he does (given his “lot” in life).Again, your allowed your opinion but, what your thoughts seems a bit unreal.

By: Claire

Claire — Fri, 29 May 2009 02:51:34 +0000

Uh…no. Edward Cullen is no greaser, no tough guy. He’s overprotective, abusive and weak. Also his angstyness and never being able to lgithen up could facter into that.

I’m just feeling a bit anti-twilight today, normally I don’t care.

I’m all for vampire movies,and sometimes the romantic kind of vampires are the ones you want.
