claymore mines. Ah no that brings back memories.

This works if you have vampires stupid enough to jump into line of fire in the first place. A vamp with more than 3 brain cells still touching would transform into mist and seep into the tank through vents and cracks (unless sealed for NBC attack)or transform into a bat and wait until they come out.. and they have to come out eventually.

Then again, the first vampire gets the claymore, the second gets the blood so to speak.

Yes, but here's the thing: Humans talk to each other. Even when they're all dead, we can look at the bodies and tell what happened. Maybe the second and even the hundredth vampire would get the blood, but after that they'd be really pressed to come up with things we haven't seen before.

However you create a monster, if it exists in *our* world (rather than some hollywood parody, where everyone really is dumb enough to down into the basement all by themselves) then it has to follow consistent rules, and we can come up with lethal counter measures. At the end of the day (or night) we out number them and we simply have a bigger industrial base.

The purpose of civilisation is (arguably) to kill monsters, whether they're criminals, predators, kings or nazis. Monster vampires woudl fare no better.

Then again, in *our* world, a vampire would have to be rather loony to kill people for blood when there are so many other ways to obtain the stuff.

I understand what you are saying but think of this in a practical way. Vampires were once human and retain memories of that time therefore they know what a tank is. Also once a claymore goes off, there is a giant hole in your defense against the next vampire unless you pop out the tank and replace it therefore negating the protection of the tank. Once inside the defensive perimiter of the mines and guns, the vampire is absolutely safe from anything the tank can do and simply has to wait for the crew to eventually exit the vehicle(this is why tanks are normally protected by ground troops. I believe if you take the stupid out of the victim, you also have to take the stupid out of the monster.

There are monsters in OUR world and they get by just fine. Ted Bundy killed for years as did Jeffery Dalmer... much like any vampire would. You kill quiet, clean and smart, take only what you need and lead an otherwise normal life a vampire could grow old and fat. Keep in mind humans actually have a higher peditation rate than zebra heards if you look at all the missing and murdered statistics.

Why use only one claymore? Inch thick plate steel between them will stop one setting the others off. Besides this is the typical hollywood vampire, completely contemptuous of human capacity to hurt him. Ted Bundy singular. He only killed for 4 years before being caught.

Could ten thousand Bundys exist in North America without the police even suspecting they might exist? I imagine a modus operandi of draining all blood from the bodies would draw the active interest of the authorities.

This is Flash fiction about stories and films where vampires/werewolves/other monsters are all powerful and humans are mere sheep. I'll take your point and reverse it: If hollywood takes the stupid out of the monster, they should also take the stupid out of the victim.

Good story. The reason I stopped watching the vast majority of horror movies was because of the uber monster and sheeple people bit.

Ok this is a topic from 7 freaking months ago, but i say i got to agree with anti carrot and Rainbow6Fanatic.

Hollywood/whatever movies/series always seems to be so stupid as to ruin any entertainment value if you stop and think for just a moment.
Like why the hell go into a building when you don't have to, burn it t down/blow it up in daylight.
Or simply have some construction vehicles(or tanks) tear the walls open.

If silver is the only thing able to kill the monster, simply coat the bullets/shrapnel in it.

If you have to either head shot it or neck crush to kill or disable it make a platform and wait till they amble ower and take your time popping a head per bullet with a regular bullet from your perch just a meanter or so over their heads.
And moats or pits would take care of allot, even a burning monster would not amble away from that hole in the ground and set things on fire.

Once you know they are out there, concrete walls and doors are not hard to make.
And with digging machines things like moats are just some mins away..

If it wields a light saber use gas and flamethrowers.
Shotguns should work too.

If thats out, nukes and fuel air bombs should guarantee it.

DAMMIT! i hate not being able to edit my posts.. >_<
