Nothing. The vampire rumours didn't start until Abraham Stoker made references between vampires and 'somebody that could be Vlad' in the book Dracula. Long after the original Vlad was dead.

Rumour has it that the Germans settlers in Transylvania (his opponents) were those who launched a smear campaign against the Wallah (now-Romanian) Prince. The rumours were helped by the cruel form of capital punishment chosen by Vlad.

Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula, was voivode of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death. He was the second son of Vlad Dracul, who became the ruler of Wallachia in 1436. Note the Vlad Dracula name and Vlad Dracul name of his father. The meaning of Dracul is "devil or dragon". Vlad III impaled his enemies and the blood that resulted may have given the author of the book "Dracula" who loved to drink blood.
