In an announcement today September 8th, Spike TV will premiere what will probably be the highest rated Deadliest Warrior to date, as the world will finally have an answer as to who would win in a fight: Zombies or Vampires?
Premiering on Wednesday September 14 at 10PM ET/PT on Spike TV (check your local listings) the men behind the popular series that pits the world’s warriors through history against each other to see who would win in a fight to the death, bring fictional characters to “life” to let us know the outcome.
Not only will this be a first for fantasy warriors, but due to the popularity of the first-ever LIVE “Deadliest Warrior” special event in August, Spike TV is upping the ante with an even bigger, supersized, 2.5 hour LIVE finale event (#dwlive). Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and a surprise special guest join hosts Richard “Mack” Machowicz, Geoff Desmoulin and Dr. Armand Dorian to discuss and analyze the episode and results, answer fan Facebook (via the “Deadliest Warrior” wall) and Twitter questions in real time (@Warriors_Den), reveal never-before-seen footage, including a special visit to the ER to see a day in the life of Dr. Dorian and make an exclusive announcement “Deadliest Warrior” fans won’t want to miss. In addition, Spike TV is partnering with cutting edge audience participation company Loyalize to debut the simultaneous, live broadcast of real-time viewer engagement and polling results from fans voting on dwlive.spike.com.
The supersized LIVE event of “Deadliest Warrior” premieres Wednesday, September 14 from 9:00PM-11:30PM (ET/ tape delay PT) on Spike TV. The event will be the first to televise live, instant audience participation and second-by-second voting results as part of the on-air broadcast on Spike TV.
The unprecedented television event features an array of icons of film and fiction who are authorities on the topic, including George Romero (“Night of the Living Dead”), Max Brooks (World War Z)¸Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Scott Bowen (Vampire Survival Guide) and Matt Mogk (founder of the Zombie Research Society). Through these expert interviews, scientific tests and careful analysis, it will be determined who would win in a battle to the death between these two iconic groups.
So who do you think would win?
Let’s take a closer look at the stats of each warrior:
Zombies are the undead and are mostly mindless shuffling around with the sole purpose to ingest human flesh to survive. Now depending on which zombie the guys will portray (fast vs. slow) will determine certain factors. They are pretty much immortal, but will eventually rot if not fed. Not only that, zombies while mindless, are instinctual and very, very strong, almost like a boa constrictor. Once they have a hand on you, that is pretty much it. Even when they are pulled apart, they can still be deadly, and usually fire is sure fire way to kill one.
Vampires are also the undead, but have cunning, smarts and years (usually) to hone their skills. Again depending on which type of vampire they will portray meaning that vampires have come a long way from Nosferatu/Dracula to Twilight and everything in between, will determine certain factors. Vampires are immortal, but must have blood to survive. Depending on how old, certain vampires will have skills as well as abilities, but the weaknesses of the vampire are sunlight, wooden stake and holy objects.
Based on these factors alone, it looks like the vampire hands down, even with their weakness would win. But this is Deadliest Warriors so that means they have to collect their data and let us the audience know, but what a ride it will be.
The special “Deadliest Warrior” LIVE event is hosted by “Deadliest Warrior – The Aftermath’” host Kieron Elliott and will broadcast in its entirety on Spike TV.
