I would like to have Corpse Vampires, Spirit Vampires, Carcass Eaters, Gravehounds, Plaguechanged Ghouls and Juju Zombies adapted to 5e, how would you go about adapting them?

Yeah, but what about adapting monsters from 3e and 4e?
Homebrew.

I'm asking how to homebrew it.
What are you having trouble with?

well, for example how does a Juju zombie compare to a regular zombie in 3rd edition? That may give me an idea of how it would be in 5e.
For a Juju Zombie I would start with a Skeletal Knight (DSotDQ pg 208), give it Resistance to psychic and lightning damage, and maybe add 1d6 psychic or lightning damage to each of its melee attacks. It would be used as a commander of a squad of a couple dozen lesser undead.
Just wing it. Nobody's gonna tell you you're wrong about anything. This is a fantasy game that we play with our imaginations. Monsters can be whatever you want them to be. Whatever's written in the "official rules" is just stuff that somebody else made up.
Let's say you want a Plague Ghoul. Start with a regulat ghoul, give it a couple extra hit dice, it's immune to poison, anybody who hits it with a melee attack takes 1d6 poison damage, and anybody who starts their turn within 30 feet of it has to make a Con-15 save or have the poisoned condition for a minute. Boom! Plague Ghoul!
Just make stuff up.

And for a gravehound, just look up the stat block for the Hell Hound, and wherever it says Fire just cross that out and write in Necrotic. Easy peasy.
