The idea is simple, various monsters, represented as a class. Two that come to mind are the Vampire and the Werewolf. Obviously these would replace simply applying the template to a PC. From WotC, this is what I had for the vampire (warning, very skeletal):

1d8 hit die
armour proficiencies: None
Weapon proficiencies: Simple Weapons
Tools: None
Saving Throws: Wisdom, Charisma
Skills: Choose 3 from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Bluff, Intimidation, Perception, Persuasion, Stealth, and Slight of Hand

Level Prof. Features
1 2 Unarmore Defense (Charisma), Blood Drink, Vampyric Sensitivity
2 2 Allure, Regeneration
3 2
4 2
5 3 Extra Attack
6 3
7 3
8 3
9 4
10 4
11 4 +Cha to attacks,
12 4
13 5

20 6 Die -> Misty Form thing

Blood Drink: When you hit an enemy with a melee attack, you can spend a Hit Die. Add the number rolled to the attacks damage, and gain that many Temporary Hit Points.
Vampyric Sensitivity: When in direct sunlight you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. You gain Resistance to Necrotic and Vulnerability to Radiant.
Allure:
Allure Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
You can have a humanoid creature you can see within 30 feet of you make a saving throw vs your Allure DC or become Charmed.
Regeneration: At the start of your turn, if your Hit Points are below half your maximum, you regain Hit Points equal to your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency bonus.

I love the concept. Is the intent to have "Vampire Wizard" be a multiclass? If you make the class comparable to the fighter, you could easily have subclasses like Eldritch Knight to allow for light multiclassing within the single class by itself.

It's definitely very skeletal right now. You need to decide what is a required ability to feel like that monster and give it out by level 3. The vampire offers a simple progression from Vampire Spawn to Vampire to Vampire Lord from other editions; don't feel afraid to steal them.
