I'm not familiar with witches turning into vampires or werewolves or whatever, that's a new one, and I think you're thinking of a pretty outmoded definition of "witch".
I dont think its a new one. I think there have been stories from the medieval days about witches using wolf skin belts inorder to shapeshift. I thought it was a common thing they thought. And I thought it was witches that did that sort of stuff?
Also here is a link which I thought explained it ok..

Ways to Become a Werewolf: Note: These methods are not created by the author of this website nor are they endorsed by Zerotime Paranormal. These methods are listed as support for the myths and legends of werewolves. I already know that many of these methods do not work, but I will list them anyway because they are part of werewolf history. Do not email me if something on this page offends you personally, religiously, etc., because honestly - I do not care.
3. Use black magick or enter into a pact with the devil. Throughout the medieval ages it was believed that werewolves were people who used black magic or make a blood pact with Satan. It was believed that witches could transform themselves into animals in order to kill their enemies and drink their blood.
And vampires I think Ive read can shift into a wolf as well.. so if a witch can shift into a wolf then a witch being a vampire is not a far leap maybe.

Vampires and werewolves are somewhat similar. Vampires, in older pieces of mythology and folklore, were thought to be able to transform into a wolf or a bat[citation needed], thus giving the vampire bat its name[dubious – discuss]. Most shapeshifters change into an animal, they were believed to only be able to change into an animal, or person that they had seen.
