Zombies are walking Corpses.

By  their very definition,, they are NOT "alive".

Well, if Gore, Kerry and Cheney are zombies, then George W. Bush is Satan.

Y' know, another thing that occured to me following my previous post, is that in addition to having their eyes & jaws sewn shut post mortem, dead people need to be entombed.

Every funeral I've been to in the past twenty-five years, the caskets were required by law to be made out of sturdy, weatherproof metal, which contained a series of locks controlled by a special wrench.

And in most states, after the casket is locked, it's required by law to be placed inside either a lead or concrete burial vault.

Man, being a resurected zombie these days must be a real pain in the ass!

Rule #2: Don't start using the laws of physics when talking about REANIMATED CORPSES.

Sorry about that. Somebody asked a question, and I "ass-u-me-d" that they wanted a logical answer.

Still, this doesn't necessarily answer any of MY questions, particularly the Hulk one.

if the Incredible Hulk was created by gamma radiation, and sunlight, which is lethal to vampires, also contains gamma rays, then what would happen if a vampire bit the Incredinle Hulk? Would the gamma radiation in the Hulk's blood kill it, or would it turn into a super vampire?

Well, gamma radiation caused the mutation from man to Hulk, but that does not mean that gamma radiation was still in his blood.  At best, I'd say the vampire would be getting the mutated DNA, and who knows what those effects would be; I'm not up on my vampire pharmacology.

HTH.

Perhaps the vampire'd throw up violently, like Udo Kier

Screw Hansel and Gretel i want a book that tells me about monsters and zombies and Voodoo.  Please share the title if you know. :)

I got a book when I was in about 5th grade or so called "Demons, Monsters and Abodes of the Dead."  I still have it around here somewhere.  It has some interesting stuff in it, too.

Maybe the Hulk's advanced immunity would protect him from vampirism. Oh, God! I'm such a geek!
