So I've been debating this questions with colleagues, friends, family, etc. and I just can't make up my mind about my own beliefs - much less reach a consensus with others.

So here's the basic question: What happens when a zombie bites a vampire?

Here are few things I think we have to take as given, otherwise the conversation can't get off the ground. First, both vampires and zombies are undead - meaning something has to die and then come back as one. Also, both can typically turn living things (typically humans) into vampires/werewolves through a bite.

The difference seems to be the explanation of transmission. Zombification is typically transmitted through a virus. Vampirism is less clear.

I'll leave it to you guys what (if anything) these things imply. But there's an additional question. If a zombie bites a vampire who then bites a human, does that human become a... zompire? After all, the vampire could carry the zombie virus, although not succumbing to it.
