About Dracula

Dracula and vampires have long been fascinating to us. Dram Stoker’s Dracula was written in 1897. It was also created into several movies in the early 30’s and even one in the 1990’s. Dracula’s character is said to be based on Vlad the Impaler an actual being in earlier centuries. It was said that the Impaler hung men he killed from cages as well as sticks in the ground. Vlad the Impaler lived in Transylvania and fought many wars. Of course the man was not a vampire, but it is stuff to make legends from. Vlad was Dracula of Wallachia. During his reign it is said that he killed 20,000 to 40,000 men. This would have been a period of 6 years. He is also thought to have killed 100,000 Turkish Muslims as well.

He is a beast that sucks blood, makes a vampire harem, and can only die when staked and then having his head cut off.
