I actually think that the crossover comes with so much lumping-together of "monsters" in popular culture. I've never seen werewolves associated with the undead in traditional folklore, and in fact, in one case (I'd get my Book of Werewolves by Sabine Baring-Gould out at this point, but it's at home) in Russian lore, I think, werewolves are seen to fight against the undead. Specifically undead that clamber out of coffins and the such. Vampires seem a popular choice for werewolf-snaffling. And that's something that's trickled through to modern day pop culture, too! Look at Underworld and its ludicrous kin.
