The new Ghostbusters, maybe?

Would like to do something with vampires, zombies etc. But I d like to come up with something new and not the standard idea of what these creatures are.

I was thinking, a 'ghost hunters TV show' type of thing, but leaning more toward 'Ghostbusting' I guess something similar to the series Supernatural, but with non standard creatures.

Or, it might be cool to mix this with some sort of real world situation, and/or time period. Any ideas? Send them along.

Here are some of my creature re-envisionings

The Rotted/aka Zombies:

Being bitten does not change you, it may get you dead, but that's it. They are not reanimated bodies minus a soul, they are not people who have had their will taken away and now walk around in a trance like state. They are not simply people who have recently died. A zombie is the body of a recently deceased human (must be very recently, for if not the soul of the individuals will have left the body, thus rendering the corpse useless.) A zombie is a corpses into which another soul (an evil soul) has been placed, usually by an occultist or necromancer. They do not last very long as the conflict between the two souls drives the mind insane and eventually shuts the brain down, therefore zombies are not always mindless, they start off pretty well adjusted to moving and hunting thier pray. It is instead the confusion of having two contradictory souls which eventually makes them mindless. Since a zombie is already dead it cannot be killed, the only option for getting rid of the zombie is to put it out of commission, either through total bodily dismemberment or simply locking the living dead away so that it may never again harm another human being. Shooting it in the head does nothing except waste your bullets, destroying the brain also achieves nothing, as it is not the brain which animates the corpse. The reason for this is that it is not the mind which controls the body (the view according to our modern way of thinking), but it is the soul which controls all functions (consciousness, bodily movement etc 'view of the ancients') Some zombies are restricted to certain places, eg roadways, abandoned houses, graveyards which have a church directly attached to it, etc.

Major players in the creature world (RP'able):

AMON: (demon) Lord of all beasts, from completely animal creatures to human/animal hybrids, in his true form he appears as a man with dog?s teeth and the head of a raven.

ANDRAS: (good guy) An angel who
carries a sword and is accompanied by a black wolf with an elongated snout and crocodile like teeth.

ABIGOR: (sometimes trustworthy, though mostly not, often indifferent) Renegade angel who creates necromancers by giving those who desire such abilities, the power to perform their unholy rites and rituals. Can also be called to transfer you from one country to another in the blink of an eye, if you catch him in a good mood. Working mostly with bad people who desire evil abilities such as, the power to bring the dead to life, he rarely associates with good people.

That's just some of them.
