Or maybe writers and audiences just enjoy familiarity.

nayrt - And maybe ayrt finds sticking to familiar topics uncreative. Ayrt was expressing their perspective, your suggestion isn't mutually exclusive.

True, there could be lots of reasons for fictional hybrids beyond "uncreative writers" and "people like familiarity".

Only to a certain extent. Since even before Dracula, there has been hundreds of different interpretations of Vampires, dating all the way back to the centuries old mythology that created them. There has been so many repeats and rehashes that the only common trait they share is that they drink blood. Werewolves are lesser done, but if not existing as an arch rival to vampire beings, are human 99% of the time. They're either teen angst stories, or form fitted to transforming into a werewolf whenever they want for the sake of entertainment. There's paying homage to something, and then there's grinding it into dust because there is only so many ways you can possibly take any one thing.

Familiarity is something that brings you home, that you can relate to and understand. I don't know about you, but I didn't grow up on Twilight and Teen Wolf, so maybe the nostalgia's just lost to me. Either way, when popculture shifts the definition of what a vampire, or werewolf, actually is, there is very little familiarity left to be found anywhere.
Especially in the context of the secret, by combining two very common supernatural beings, you aren't creating anything new, or something that hasn't been done a million times before. There is so much untapped potential in the realm of mythology, and the world around us, that it'd just be nice to see something new for a change.
