		Dracula, Count, central character of the horror novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker.
		As Dracula pursues his victims he is, in turn, pursued by Jonathan Harker, a lawyer married to Mina.
		By the time Vlad Dracula was overthrown in 1462, he had killed tens of thousands of his people, primarily by impaling them on stakes, a gruesome way to die.

	Pilot Guides.com: Prince of Darkness: The Real Count Dracula
		Dracula is linked to many places in Transylvania on shaky evidence but there is no doubt that he roamed the forests and valleys of Romania during the 15th century.
		The popular image of Dracula is of a blood-sucking vampire, who snoozes in a coffin and turns into a bat when the sun goes down owes much to Bram Stoker who created this blood-thirsty Nosferatu based on the equally gory heroics of a real Romanian Prince in his novel published in 1897.
		Vlad Dracula was actually a Wallachian warlord who fought against the Turkish invaders during the 15th century.

	Dracula (Transylvania, Lord of the Vampires)
		Dracula was opposed by the unfriendly new Sultan, Mohammed the Conqueror.
		Dracula was born in either November or December of 1431 His early education was in the hands of his mother - either a Transylvanian noblewoman or a Moldavian princess - until he came of an age where his father began to train him in the arts of war.
		Dracula, ever the cunning politician, swore allegiance to Hunyadi and was awarded his father's old Transylvanian duchies of Faragas and Almas in return for swearing to oust Vladislav II from power as soon as the opportunity arose.

	Count Dracula and Vlad the Impaler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is from the Introduction I wrote for the novel Lord of the Vampires by Jeanne Kalogridis (1997), the third in her trilogy "The Diaries of the Family Dracul".
		While there is ample evidence that he himself used the sobriquet "Dracula" (or variations thereof) and was referred to as such in several 15th and 16th century sources, many Romanian historians still insist on using the name "Tepes" (meaning "Impaler"), a hardly flattering nickname first assigned to him by Turkish chroniclers.
		That association is clearly the result of the fact that Bram Stoker decided to appropriate the name "Dracula" for his villainous Count - much to the chagrin of many Romanians who see the novel as a denigration of one of their national heroes.

	Count Dracula's Legend
		Count Dracula, a fictional character in the Dracula novel, was inspired by one of the best-known figures of the Romanian history — Vlad Dracula, nicknamed Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) — who was a ruler of Wallachia (1456-1462).
		The house in which Vlad Dracula was born has a small plaque on the door and now is a restaurant and small museum of medieval weapons.
		Vlad Tepes was born in December 1431, in the fortress of Sighisoara, Romania.

	Bloodless praise of Transylvania - The Boston Globe
		One would expect Transylvanians to capitalize on Dracula's fame, but we were surprised how few places used the count as a tourist draw.
		You will not see ''Cafe Dracula," ''Dracula Hotel," or Dracula paraphernalia hawked everywhere you go, and that is so even in Sighisoara, Tepes's hometown, where a government-backed proposal to carve a Disney-like Dracula park out of a medieval oak forest west of town was defeated by conservationists.
		Surrounded by all that, it was easy to overlook the house where Tepes was born in 1431, now home of the not-so-charming (to me) eatery called Casa Dracula, and the modest statue nearby of the count himself.

	Bram Stoker's Count Dracula (1969) Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom, Klaus Kinski
		Franco's 1969 feature starring Christopher Lee as the Count, Herbert Lom as Van Helsing, and Klaus Kinski as Renfield is a slow, chilling and fairly faithful rendering of Stoker's novel, sans the guts and breasts that have been trademarks of his over-analyzed career.
		On page 255 he also alludes to this scene, saying, "At the castle, the credulity of the Dracula character is tested in one scene where he stands with Harker before a full-length mirror and does not reflect.
		Specifically, the chills hit hard when the three female vampires eye up Harker, only to have their attention diverted by the cries of an infant Dracula has acquired for them, and in the scene where the vamped-out Lucy takes a child from the park (only to end up on a milk canister I guess).

		Count Dracula favored faith based social programs: Late- breaking news from Transylvania.
		The purpose of this essay is to compare Dracula's motivations for his faith-based social programs with the same or similar motivations found in present day "Charitable choice" legislation and Christian faith-based social programs in America.
		One of the vital things that keep our nation free from tyrants like Dracula is our precious heritage of separation of church and state that goes hand-in-hand with democracy.

		Count Dracula is proud, aristocratic, and looks like Bram Stoker's Dracula, although the cobwebs in his castle seem out of place.
		"Count Dracula" was reportedly frustrated by a low budget, but it is nonetheless one of the more memorable adaptations of Bram Stoker's novel and is particularly notable for its first act.

	Báthory Erzsébet - Elizabeth Bathory: Bram Stoker, Elizabeth Bathory, and Dracula (Elizabeth Miller)
		While Dracula was a Woman has its uses as a biography of Bathory, its investigation into the sources for Dracula is a red herring.
		Most notable -- for they were incorporated into his description of Count Dracula -- were the canine teeth, broad hands with hairy palms, eyebrows meeting over nose, and the ability to shape-shift.
		French scholar Jean Marigny asserts that "without a doubt, Countess Bathory served as the prototype for Carmilla, Count Dracula, and all the aristocratic vampires of the literature of fantasy" (Vampires: Restless Creatures of the Night 37).

	Count Dracula, Louis Jourdan, BBC 1977
		This version hews fairly close to the original novel, including a fairly extended version of Harker's adventures at Dracula's castle, Lucy's sleepwalking in the cliffside graveyard at Whitby (apparently shot on location, with the famous long stone staircase of Whitby memorably showcased), and a final chase across the "Transylvanian" countryside.
		However, the usual modern device of tying Dracula to his historical namesake, is only briefly hinted at here by woodcuts of the Impaler's work in the opening credits.
		After being unavailable for many years, Count Dracula has recently been issued in a bare-bones DVD edition by BBC Learning, totally lacking in extras (or even menus for chapter divisions), and with marginally acceptable picture quality.

	Dracula by Bram Stoker - Reference
		The characters of the Count and Van Helsing are written so well that it is easy to see why they are classics, but most of the other characters - especially Johnathan and Mina Harker - are also memorable.
		Based on the bloodthirsty Transylvanian ruler Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as the Impaler because of his practice of impaling enemy prisoners-of-war on stakes, "Dracula" is the tale of an evil count who is a vampire.
		The count seems to have a taste for English ladies' blood, and when he goes after Harker's fiancee Mina, she narrowly escapes, though her friend Lucy was not so lucky.

		The actor gave us an evil vampire, but one who could be pitied, and his characterization was developed out of "the loneliness of evil".
		Interestingly, he wore a ring when in character as the count, one which had been worn by Bela Lugosi when he played the King of the vampires.
