What Happens When a Vampire Catches the Zombie Virus? (Part 2)



In this second of two accounts recently dredged from the archives, our narrator explores the chilling implications of a single question: what happens when when two already devastating pathogens combine?

The answer is a chimeric entity that very nearly defies our understanding of disease progression. Could this recombinant strain be a glimpse into the origins of HVV and HZV themselves?

  1. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to see TP's take on werewolf vampire hybrids. Or the result of all three at once. Or the inclusion of the wendigo virus in any feasible combination. Heck, lets see what happens when the mummy fungus gets thrown in there. The possibilities are near endless.

  2. Just got to say sir your content is so interesting and insightful…. all your vids could really make for great tv or books(if you dont already have one)

    You do a superb job of making every creature or topic you cover feel so real and based in real science…. makes it scary to think that these things are really out there…

    Major credit to you and your channel..

  3. Idk why but this hybrid/combination reminds me so much of Jiangshi, the chinese hopping vampire, because of how zombie-like and mindless the creatures but still has all of the tendencies of vampires like bloodsucking but is also able to infect people with their viruses. (^-^)v
