A "fast" zombie created by a virus (ie: 28 Days Later) is bitten by a "slow" zombie created by unknown supernatural means (ie: the original Night/Dawn/Day/Land of the Dead) resulting in a "Double Zombie"
The "double zombie" now moves slowly and decomposes like the "slow" zombies, and will feed on both "fast" zombies and humans.
This is possibly due to the "slow" zombie hunger for living tissue. Some theories indicate that "fast" zombies are not dead, only diseased. Their flesh, though tainted and possibly mutated, is still living human flesh.
Another condition that could lead to double zombification involves two zombies at different stages of zombie evolution. A more highly evolved strain of zombie may re-infect a less evolved zombie.
