> Here is mine. A Werewolf is a cursed living person. A Vampire is a dead person who has risen from the grave. Since a Werewolf is still alive a Vampire can't become a werewolf. The Werewolf would have to die to become a Vampire, but a vampire bite isn't on the list of things that can kill a werewolf (Some kind of silver in the heart- knife, bullet, spear, etc. is the only way to kill a werewolf {outside of the American Werewolf in London and Paris films} correct?), so a Werewolf can't turn into a Vampire. (except maybe the Vampire bite would take effect when the Werewolf is actually killed, so he/she may not become a vapire until years after he/she was biten)

I agree with Kelly to a point. Lycanthropy is passed on like a disease. Vampires are resistant to diseases and viruses (ever see a vampire with a cold?). Therefore, Wolfman bites Drac, nothing happens.

Now if Drac bites Wolfman and tries to turn him into a vampire, he would. The vampire turning makes Wolfie (un)dead and suddenly disease-free! The lycanthropy won't affect him from then on. Drac bites Wolfman, Wolfman becomes a vampire.
