Part 2

Give a detailed answer to the following question and explain your reasoning.

Can a vampire consume the blood of a zombie and what would be the result? There is no right or wrong answer.

[Velma]

1. Probably because zombies don't exist (I don't know).
2. Haiti
3. Don't know
4. Through liquids.
5. No Clue
6. Don't Stop me now
7. Don't Know
8. TF2 character
9. When there's no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth
10. Don't know.

Yes Vampires can suck zombie blood but the only problem is that zombie blood is infected and this means that the vampire will become a vampire zombie type creature as it will have infected blood circulating in the body unless vampires can somehow clean the blood that they suck.

1. The word zombies was used in the comic but not in the show. No explanation seemed proper to me so I think the creators wanted to create a new hype using a unique word ''walkers'' and not ride on the existing zombie terminology as to not let other similar media of the same genre steal their thunder.
2. I think Velmas right about this. Its Haitian culture.
3. George Trevor designed it and its in Raccoon Forest
4. If they are infected by any other means and they die, they become zombies after death.
5. Captain Weskers was more about becoming more powerful personally and taking it upon himself to cleanse the earth of people whereas S.T.A.R.S. had this notion of integrating policing with research (i.e. police and scientists working together) to preserve law and order, terrorism and other scenarios such as outbreaks of virus which could turn people into zombies. Pretty sure im bullshitting here lol
6. Dont stop me now by Queen
7. I dunno, prolly Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland
8. Ill go with Velma on this one too.
9. When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." I think the movie is Dawn of the Dead
10. Not sure. Probably scheduling issues or her agent had a falling out with the people deciding shit.

Part 2:
Well vampires can suck the blood of zombies if they want but that would be like knowing your drinking sulfuric acid while saying (or telling yourself) that its orange juice. Vampires are immune to disease so I dont think that it would turn the vampire into a zombie, however, there could be some degree of damage if sufficient amount is consumed. In that case the vampire would have to drink lots of fluids (the good kinda blood that they find tasty) and hibernate like a bear to recuperate from the damage. My reasoning for the vampire not turning into a zombie is that if whatever causes zombification enters the vampires system and turns him/her into a zombie then this line of reasoning would mean that the vampire can also get hepatitis from sucking an infected persons blood (non zombie kind). Imagine this with any other viral diseases where transmission can happen via blood. Since this is not the case according to usual vampire lore, so I don't think vampires would turn into zombies or a zombie vampire hybrid.

Part 2

Thertorically yes they could. They probably wouldn't like it as the taste will be very different then human blood. They would also get infected themself. So I don't think they would drink the blood.

[Scooby]

And the contest is now closed. I'll go over the submissions when I get home from work and declare a winner. Thanks for playing.

[Scooby]

And the winner for both parts is actually Artisan . Their answer for part 2 I found to be the most rationalized, so they will receive both byte prizes, totalling 1k. Read below for the trivia answers.

1. What is the real reason zombies are called walkers in The Walking Dead?

They weren't able to trademark the word Zombie. It's all about that merchandising.

2. What culture is regarded as being the origin for the zombie mythology?

Haiti

3. In Resident Evil, what is the name of the architect that designed the mansion and where is the mansion specifically located?

George Trevor

4. There are 2 popular methods of how people become zombies in fiction. One is that it is contagious through bites and scratches. What is the other?

Simple death. In many stories, any corpse will reanimate regardless of exposure.

5. According to the Resident Evil novels, how does Captain Wesker's personal motto differ from the S.T.A.R.S. motto?

S.T.A.R.S.: Expect the unexpected.
Wesker: Expect nothing.

6. In Shaun of the Dead, what song plays on the jukebox during the zombie bar brawl?

Don't Stop Me Now

7.in the 1st Resident Evil film, there is a theme amongst the characters and locations based on a classic book. What is the book?

Alice in Wonderland

8. In Left 4 Dead, there is an Easter egg in the form of a cereal box. Who is on the cereal box?

The Heavy from TF2

9. Finish the quote and name the movie. "When there's no more room in hell....."

The dead will walk the earth. Dawn of the Dead.

10. In the 1st Resident Evil film, the part of the Red Queen was almost played by a little American girl instead of the British one that ultimately got it. Why didn't it go to the American?

Her line readings came off too sensual, bordering on pornographic, according to the DVD commentary.
