Scary Monsters

Yesterday I helped my Kindergartener nephew write a book he called "Vampires and other Scary Monsters." One of the monsters he came up with was called Haunted Balloon.

My nephew posed an interesting question: What if a boy gets bitten by both a werewolf AND a vampire? I proposed that the vampire curse would trump the werewolf curse most of the time, but on full moons, the vampire would become a werewolf. TK suggested the boy would turn into a bat with a wolf head. Margaret believes that the vampire and werewolf are immune to each other (see Dracula Meets the Wolfman), so whoever bit the boy first would trump the other. Or since becoming a vampire is a process, whichever curse took first, would win out.

I don't believe I've seen this problem addressed on Buffy.
