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 -

Hell. I'd even be a Twilight Vampire if I got to live forever.
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.
that why its fun loseing yourself in an animalistic rage and lust for the wram meat that i would TEAR FROM MY PREY AS IT BEGED FOR ITS LIFE AHHHHH!

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.

Vampire. Because, if we're going old-school for werewolves, then we have to go old-school with vampires too. And that means Dracula.

One of the things Dracula can do? Turn into a wolf at will. And actually stay in control, rather than being a ravenous crazy beast wolf.

Oh, not to mention the whole package of being immortal and being able to mind-control people.

Not sure which rules apply, there are so many damned movies about them and they all try to be different, if its anything like Underworld then werewolf for sure.

I'll choose Werewolf.

Vampires need to feed on blood, can't go out in the sun, can't enter a house without permission and can't eat garlic bread. Plus they have this going on all the time.

Werewolves, yeah they go all angry and beast-like but it's only for once a month and you can do things to combat it. i.e. locking yourself in a basement with a lamb or a pig or any such farm animal to feed on through the night.

So yeah, werewolf.

My answer, as it has always been, is other.
Because mutts and toothy humans are just truly pathetic and over used.

Also: Dragon>all

I like werewolves, preferably if I can turn it on and off, but I don't mind it if not.

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.
The full moon is just the compulsory turning time. You're wolfy all the time and will change in times of high emotions like say sex. So, be prepared to rape/murder all your mates in a fit lust as your super strength humping smashes their lower bodies into goo.
Much better to go with vampires who will rape/murder their love interests in a fit of lust and leave a mostly intact corpse with a few bites and scratches.
