Werewolves and Vampires

In Medieval Europe, the dead bodies of some victims executed as werewolves were cremated rather than buried, so they deceased did not rise from the dead as Vampires.

The Greeks believed that the dead bodies of werewolves, if not destroyed, would rise from the dead as vampires in the form of wolves or hyenas which prowled battlefields, drinking the blood of dying soldiers.

Some rural areas of Germany, Poland and Northern France, it was believed that those who died in mortal sin or evil, came back to life as blood-drinking wolves. This is slightly different from a werewolf, as the blood-drinking wolf would return to it's origional human form at day time, but by night it would become a wolf, hungry form blood. In many ways, its was a vampire, so was destroyed in vamperic ways, these wolves were killed by decapitation, or by the parish priest.

The vampire was also linked to the werewolf in East European countries, particularly Bulgaria, Serbia and Slovakia.
In Serbia, the werewolf and vampire are known collectively as one creature; Vulkodlak.
In Hungarian and Balkan mythology, many werewolves were said to be vampiric witches who became wolves in order to suck the blood of men born under the full moon in order to preserve their health. In their human form, these werewolves were said to have pale, sunken faces, hollow eyes, swollen lips and flabby arms, following the conventional look of a werewolf. The Haitian jé-rouges differ from traditional European werewolves by their habit of actively trying to spread their lycanthropic condition to others, much like vampires.
