Vampire but only so i could seduce twilight fans and lure them into a secluded place in which i would lean in close and whisper "this is what REAL vampires are like" before i literary rip the person limb from limb and drink the still warm blood as it flows from the severed parts.

Werewolf. Vampires suck. Do not want to live off blood. Do want to be able to go out during the day if I want to. Do not want to be essentially a monstrous living corpse. Also I might not be able to ever enter the Hagia Sophia if I was so inclined.

Werewolves have the drawback of turning at the full moon, but, eh, I'm sure that could be dealt with for most of the time.
Vampires suck eh? No pun intended I hope.

But lycanthropy? Sign me up. Tail, ears, paws, I already get the urge to howl at the full moon, it'd be fun.

Why is it always werewolves? Ok, you get were-other thingies, but much less common.

...

Hmmm what if you were the opposite sex in your animal form, would that make a difference?

All kind of depends. If a vampire was super strong, fast and everything and simply needed to drink blood to survive rather then being unable to control myself around any blood then I would probably choose vampire. If the werewolf was not restricted to full moon and I didn't lose control of myself during the wolf form then I might go for the werewolf.
Going by classic horror things then I'd probably go vampire.

Werewolf but only because Twilight ruin it for me.

Beside while I do prefer the night but I still like the sun. Also a full moon only happen about a forenight so I still can have a normal life, just during the moon phase I simple have to put myself in a safehouse unless I am still in control in werewold form.

I dunno, considering that technically vampires can't have sex (no blood, no boner)
Technically, they shouldn't be able to do anything, being dead and all. And werewolves shouldn't be able to change into a wolf.

I like dark, merciless vampires myself. Those who see human beings as lesser - nothing more than a food source and they strive for higher things in life. Selfish, arrogant and proud. Bestial-like vampires are cool too (such as the Fleders and Garkains seen in The Witcher).

Vampires and fantasy work very well, when in conjunction with necromancy and dark/black magic.

I've never really had any interest in Were-beasts.

I vote for the one that comes with a live forever clause. While it would be nice to experience turning into a wild beast and killing everyone I know and love I'll take immortal being who sustains it's existance through an endless killing spree.

Hell. I'd even be a Twilight Vampire if I got to live forever.

If the werewolf is not the raging, uncontrolled alterself, then I'd side with it, but It seems you meant for that version, there fore, seeing as I'm allready feral enough as i am, I'd go with Vampirism. Longevity lends it self better to my long term plans.

Vampire pre twilight.
Currently werewolf, vampire's now stand with Justin Bieber and Al'Qaeda utterly scary and the US should make it top priority to hunt the down and eliminate them all.

So. Many. Questions.

I mean, werewolf was my first thought - but would I be able transform at will, or only on the full-moon? Will I instantly burst into flames on the slightest touch of sunlight if I were a vampire? Do I have to stop wearing my silver jewellery if I was a werewolf? If a tree falls in a forest and no-one's around to hear it, can I resist eating my loved ones?

If I can control myself in either form, werewolf outright. Especially if I can transform at will.

If I can't, I'd rather be a vampire with some degree of control, than a monster who loses it and kills everyone around it every month.

EDIT -

To be honest, that's the ideal vampire to be. You have all the powers you'd expect, apart from transformation, but you get diamond-hard skin and resistance to sunlight. To be honest, a Twilight vampire could easily kill a 'traditional' vampire...it's just such a shame they were born via the writing of Stephanie .

Vampire, every time.

Being turned into an immortal, with superhuman strength, flight, and a thirst for blood is just appealing to me. Not that food will be hard to come by. You just have to get the jump on a twilight fan, and make sure not to turn them, That would be creating a monster.

Still we dont know what variant of vampire we are dealing with, we know the Twilight ones are off the list, couldn't pay me enough to do that... I mean here is a quick list of every variant I actually like.

1.Blood Conduit-InFamous:Festival of Blood
Just what it says on the tin, teleportation, you still look somewhat human, and you get that flight/teleportation bit. I know the electricity doesn't come with the set, but still...

2.Elder Scrolls Variant
You dont have to feed, and if you actually keep yourself "topped up" you are able to survive daylight and look human, even without having fed for three days you still pass for human. Its a winning setup, no flight and no strength thing, but the immortality is there, and the whole "vampire seduction" trick. If you actually survive long enough you would probably turn into one of those Vampire Lord things, with a nest of other bloodthirsty creatures ready to serve you.

Yeah... that's pretty much it at the moment. But you cant say that the Elder Scrolls setup is not fun to use.

Werewolves are too bestial, and they generally tend to be more animalistic than sentient.

I vote werewolf but I mean like a skyrim werewolf where I can control the transformation, because then it's a curse not a really useful ability

Depends on the universe. The Elder Scrolls werewolves are crazy powerful, but some of the Castlevania vampires are extremely powerful.

Generally. werewolves are stronger and faster, so I'd say werewolves.

Not sure. All I know is that the Lycanthropy from TES V is pretty sweet. Can I have that?

i dont like the idea of being drinking other peoples blood, and trying to have a normal conversation with someone with the constant desire to drink their blood just seems awkward.

Id rather be a werewolf because its only happens once every few days, and i can be locked in a cage or something, that, and im a FUCKING WOLF!

People, Y U NO SPECIFY WHAT YOU MEAN? I am by no means expert on the lore of those supernaturals, but I do know there is an enormous diversity of traits that could potentially define each. Even when talking about "traditional" vampire/werewolf there is a difference on a case by case basis. For example, what is "traditional"? Is it the mainstream image pushed by Hollywood or is that some older source, for example, legends and myths? Because each of these is different. Furthermore, even Hollywood/legendary creatures are different amongst themselves.

Let's take a look at vampires - possibly the most iconic vampire we have is Dracula - it helped push vampires into the cinema and other media. Now, the closest vampires we have to Dracula today, are Kain (and some of the other vampires of Nosgoth, from Legacy if Kain) and...Twilight. Yes, Twi-friggin'-light is closer to the iconic image of vampires than the most of the modern vampires. Think about it. OK, it's a bit of an exaggeration but it's not a lie - not a lot of vampiric depictions show anything similar to good ol' Vlad, and Twilight is actually sort of like him - maybe they turn into disco balls but at least they don't just turn into a ball of flame.

Now, let's talk mythological vampires - here's the deal: we cannot. The description of what a vampire is and what it can do varies wildly from culture to culture. The most consistent part is that they were once living (although really not always the case) and that they feed on humans (mostl on blood) although sometimes it's whatever comes around. Also, they were mostly evil but sometimes merely amoral.

And getting back to "modern" vampires - they have been assigned so many different powers and traits over the years that we still can't say what is a modern vampire and can it do. The most consistent parts are that it was once human and that they get really bad sunburns. As for powers - anything, but "superior to humans" seems to be the prevalent one(s) - stronger, faster, sharper senses and so on. Different works have shown them laugh off "traditional" banes, such as garlic[footnote]"So what can a plant do to a corpse"[/footnote] or faith[footnote]"I don't understand what's with the crosses why would they affect me?"[/footnote] but then only reinforce other ones.

Same goes for werewolves, just a quick example - is that a human who turns into a wolf, or into a human-wolf monstrosity? How much control do they retain when transformed? Is the transformation voluntary or not? If not, do they turn only on the full moon, during the three (or five?) days around it, under any moon? Are there any other benefits (or not) than transformations? The only thing the OP tells us is that they are the horror movie depiction, which at least narrows it down a really small bit. Still, all those questions are unanswered.

This poll does not make sense without stating what assumptions are made for werewolves and vampires. Right now everybody is picking whatever they think is better which is not fair because they can assign any features to either of the choices. It's like a children's make believe game where one child announces himself "king" another says that he is a king that rules over the first one, the third says it's a god and so on and so forth without any real limit of how far it goes.
