Bram Stoker created the character of Dracula in his novel to tap into Victorian fears about sexuality, foreign invaders, and the unknown.

Where is modern day Transylvania?
This is a mountainous region in the modern, eastern European country of Romania (or Rumania). In Transylvania you can still visit the castle of Drakul - an actual character who lived in Transylvania on which the story of Dracula was based by Bram Stoker. 'Drakul' or Vlad the Impaler, as he was known, dealt with his enemies by killing them, drinking their blood and by impaling them on wooden stakes which is where the idea of a vampire sucking blood and driving a wooden stake into a vampire's heart came from in Bram Stoker's novel.

This man is said to have inspired him for ´his´ book character Professor Abraham van Helsing. - As a playwright and theatre critic, Stoker met Henry Irving, an actor who was very successful at that time.

Who were count Dracula's parents?
Vlad Ţepeş 'Drăculea' (aka Bram Stoker's 'Dracula') parental information." 'Beware of his dark brown eyes, black hair and the frowned busy eyebrows. This man's a devil !!", a rich boyar yelled to the crowd, moments before being impaled by the prince." (fragment from old manuscript)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you think of historic person Vlad Ţepeş aka 'Drăculea' that generated the idea for Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', then one should know his parents were from Transilvania, România. According to Wikipedia (2011), some details are brought in regards of his parents:"His Romanian surname Drăculea (also spelled "Drakulya"), by which Vlad was referred to in several documents, is in reference to his Romanian father, Vlad Dracul, who was a proud member of the monarchical chivalric order for selected nobility with a Latin name "Societas Draconistrarum" meaning the Order of the Dragon.""His mother is believed to be the second wife of Vlad Dracul, Princess Cneajna of Moldavia, eldest daughter of Romanian ruler Alexandru cel Bun. He had two older half-brothers, Mircea II and Vlad 'Călugărul' (Vlad 'the Monk'), and a younger brother, Radu cel Frumos (Radu 'the Handsome')."Thanks Wikipedia for letting us know the truth.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Additional info:In Bram Stoker's fictional book, Count Dracula does not mention his parents in the book, Dracula. He just tells Jonathan Harker that he is from an old family."I myself am of an old family,...."He also discusses the battles his Dacian race had fought in the past, going back over the centuries, but no mention of his family.

Can someone actually be a Vampire?
Many people have become obsessed with the idea and tried to be/pretended to be "vampires", and several serial killers have fit into that category. But they still have a reflection in any mirror. The classic "vampire" is a fictional construct invented by novelist Bram Stoker. So the bottom line answer is "no".
Why are young people so fascinated about vampires these days or is it just the fiction part they like?
We like these movies becasue they are AWESOME and people just naturally love vampires. Like in the Twilight SagaMore information:Since Bram Stoker wrote the first novel about Dracula in 1897, people have been fascinated with vampires because Stoker used the vampire as a very slightly veiled allusion to forbidden sex. People do not love the idea of a monster who crawls out of a tomb to drink their blood. But people get very excited indeed with the idea of a darkly handsome mysterious and vaguely threatening noble who can slip undetected into a lady's bed and satisfy his wicked pleasures on her body, then lure her to a dark, ever-lasting future of forbidden lust.----------------------------------there are alot of people who genuinely love vampires, fictions, monsters, Bram strokers novel , ect. however the majority of people these days don't give a crap ( sorry for the language) about vampire, just the twilight saga.
