A big plot point in a lot of recent films and TV shows seems to be the animosity between vampires and werewolves. We see it in the Underworld and Twilight films and in the TV shows The Gates and True Blood, and presumably we'll probably see it in the upcoming season of The Vampire Diaries (though to a lesser extent because in that universe supposedly the vampires know very little about werewolves). I find this very interesting because there's no such animosity in the DS universe (and I can't really recall it being much of a plot point in the films that were made when I was young). So, I'm wondering if that's because this animosity is a fairly new development in vampire/werewolf lore? Or has it been there for quite some time but DS chose to ignore it or at least overlook it (and when I was young I just happened to miss seeing the films in which it was present)?
