Vampire/zombie Theory: Vampires are created through the power of the stone mask who are able to create an enclave of the undead, via creating zombies by draining their blood to the point of  becoming necrotic. Once that happens, the vampire enjects a type of mucus through his fingers, resurrecting the corpse into his zombie warriors and establishing a hive-like system among themselves.

Vampires are able to create other vampires by injecting their blood (Not mucus) into a corpse's body, resurrecting them into vampires and, possibly, developing the same pwoers as the progenitor.

Vampires are capable of regenerating after being struck with hamon, example for that would be when DIO was almost cut in half and had his arm amputated by Jonathan's hamon-embued sword, Luck and Pluck, and was able to reattached his arm and reconnect the two sides of his body. Zombies, however, are unable to regenerate after being struck by hamon, such as when Jack the ripper's face was hit and it didn't heal.

Known zombies: Jack the Ripper, Adam, Paige, Bonnam, Plant, and Jones, and Nukesaku( This would explain why he is weaker and has know stand).

Known Vampires: DIO, Wired Beck, Vanilla Ice, Tarkus & Bruford (DIOmay have use his own blood to reanimate them; the other zombies in the cemetary may have been reanimated by using the "Zombie Extract"), and Straizo.
