Transylvania is an area in Eastern Europe where the legend of the vampire is said to have begun. The vampire myth is probably a result of stories about a Transylvanian nobleman called Vladimir, widely known as Vlad the Impaler. He was a ruthless killer who tortured his enemies and, according to legend, drank their blood. In the early 1900s, author Bram Stoker based his Horror novel, Dracula, on Vlad the Impaler and his reputed powers.
