To signal the popularity of vampires and zombies, they will square off in a special episode of Spike TV’s Deadliest Warrior this summer. The hypothetical cage-match show usually takes classic combatants such as the ninja and the roman centurion, or modern figures like the Yakuza and the Mafia and talk to historians and experts to gather data and tests to determine who would win head-to-head battles such as fighting style, weapons used, training and skills. In the end a dramatization of the match is acted out based on the findings.
Zombies have made a big push in recent years from The Walking Dead comic book and television series, to the Left 4 Dead video game. Vampires meanwhile have become ubiquitous dominating every genre from film (Twilight), TV (True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Being Human) to comics (American Vampire)
This summer Deadliest Warrior will conduct one hour-long fantasy episode using film and fiction icons as the warriors.

Ah, Spike TV, the male programming response to Lifetime. All killing, sex, and low-brow humor all the time. If you remember back to when Spike TV first got its start, it had little more in terms of content strategy beyond buying up the rights to the entire James Bond catalogue and broadcasting them 24/7. It may have made the holders of Ian Fleming’s estate ecstatic, but after about a month the channel was in dire need of something new. Gradually the channel began to produce its own content and eventually it got to the point where its unique content was marginally watchable, if you were bored or drunk on a Saturday. Deadliest Warrior represents the current pinnacle of the channel’s programming. It’s that great? No, but it’s perfectly aimed at the testosterone-infused audience thanks to the use of weapons and the wholly ridiculous nature of its concept.

Last year, the world was introduced to a brand new series called Deadliest Warrior on the Spike Network which helped answer questions people had been fighting over for decades such as “Who would win a fight between a Pirate and a Knight?” or a “Spartan vs. a Ninja?” Tomorrow night, the show returns for a season that is deemed to be “bigger and bloodier bloodier.”
The show was able to give the audience a definitive answer for the first time, using simulated algorithms from data collected by weapons, settings, and training. The research team is made up of three men. Max Geiger, the simulations programmer who analyzes and enters all of the data into the computer, Dr. Armand Dorian, the medical expert who determines exactly how much damage each weapon inflicts on it’s victim, and host Geoff Desmoulin, the biomedical scientist and high-speed camera operator who introduces the audience...

Since Deadliest Warrior turned out to be a surprise hit last spring, it's no surprise that Spike TV is bringing back the show for a second season (starting Tuesday, April 20th). What can we expect? We asked expert Geoff Desmoulin, one of the show's on-screen experts, for a preview: TheTorchOnline: How is Deadliest Warrior Season Two different from Season One? Geoff Desmoulin: The number one thing is that we have a bigger budget, and so there's more of everything, including more blood in every scene. This season is bigger in every way possible, with more carnage and more science. You're gonna see the bigger budget and extra science in the premiere episode -- they let me explain the electronics inside a Taser and why it's safe and effective in various different conditions.
