Personally, I think it's because vampires are so much easier on the costume department. Vampires only need fangs and, if you're going for realism, some white make-up (they should be pale if they've never seen the sun in years). Werewolves, on the other hand, require either tons of prosthetics or an assload of CGI, both of which are difficult to make look good. Plus, thanks to vampire movies like Blade and werewolf movies like Darkwolf, consumers tend to think of vampire movies as being potential and werewolf movies as being crap.fullmoonfury wrote:From a moviegoers perspective, I always thought movie makers traditionally favored vampire stories over werewolf stories, mostly because vampires are less complex to deal with.
Stick some fangs in a guys mouth, shoot him with a day-for-night filter, have him seduce some virgin, neatly neck with said virgin, then its home before sunrise just in time to be staked by the aforementioned virgin's boyfriend. Vampire. Simple.
Transition some guy to a face and hands covered in fur(at very least), show him only "getting his wolf on" during a full moon, then messily ripping the sh** out of some hapless co-ed (after stalking her for what seems like hours), then have him shot with a silver bullet by the aforementioned co-eds boyfriend(who somehow has all of the resources to get said bullet made). Werewolf. Complex.
Anyhoo, that's what I used to think. Technology has leveled the playing field as far as the effects go, but the number of werewolf feature films still lag behind the number of vampire films, by some huge number I'm sure.
Hopefully, my fellow werewolf fans, we will change this in the future.

Hopefully we can change that.
Werewolves are kings and Queens of the wild. they can kick dracula's a** any day just like in Van Helsing, of corse we all know that. werewolves are the coolist shape shifters they have 2 awsome wolf forms and what can vampires do a pint size bat!!!!
Increased senses, superhuman strength speed and agility. Immortality (of the eternal young type, not unkillable type), probable increased regeneration of wounds. Etc. I wouldn't sell them short. Vampires are predators. Of a decent quality. You need to be powerful in mind and body to hunt humans like they do.Whats so great to about Vampires!!!
Dr acula could also take the form of a wolf i believe. And mist i think. And White Wolf's (the company rthat made Werewolf: The Apocalypse and such) Gangrel Vampires have some shapeshifting. I think the Ancient even can turn into a sun. Not sure though...and what can vampires do a pint size bat!!!!
Werewolf Vs. Vampire is so cliche'.This...yes this makes me want to draw a picture of a werewolf ripping a vamp apart!
I hate Vampires because they are human Parasites, and I really, really HATE Parasites. (Like Leaches, Mosquitoes, Ticks, etc. ...nasty bloodsuckers.)Aki wrote:Also; its amusing how you guys seem to have no rational for hating vampires.
Id love to hug a werewolf really hard around thier waste." I LOVE YOU!!!"
Ah crap I'am doing it again aren't I i'am defending the said that i hate*wolf howels*
