Well Bela Lugosi is considered as many as being the quintessential Dracula, but Gary Oldman did a good job in my opinion. Other than that, Frank Langella did a good job.

He could however disappear. It was in Bela Lugosi's Dracula in 1931 that the first vampire turned into a bat, and also a wolf.

Count Dracula's first name is Vlad. Bram Stoker was inspired by Vlad III - also called Vlad Țepeș or Vlad Drăculea -, a Wallachian prince born in 1431.
Vlad III got the name "
Țepeș", what means "impaler", because he was very gruesome. The prince was known for his very violent method of killing people: He impaled them.
Being a member of Sigismund of Luxembourg's knights order "Order of the Dragon", which had a dragon, the Dracul, as a symbol, Vlad II, Vlad
Drăculea's father, got the name "Dracul". That is why his son got the name "
Drăculea", what means "son of the dragon".
The name "Dracul" is said to come from the Latin word "drago", what means "dragon". Some people say it is also possible that it comes from the Romanian word "drac", which means "devil", but this has never been proved. If "
Drăculea" came from Romanian, it would mean "son of the devil", and "Dracul" would mean "the devil".
Drăculea died at the end of 1476 in a fight against the Ottomans. It is most likely that he was beheaded by a member of his own army.
Actually, the second name of Vlad III was Draculesti.
As I said, Bram Stoker, the author of the 1897 horror novel "Dracula". At first, Count Dracula tells Jonathan Harker, his guest, Vlad III was his ancestor, but soon, Jonathan finds out that they are one and the same person.
[...] Who was it but one of my own race who as Voivode crossed the Danube and beat the Turk on his own ground! This was a Dracula indeed. Who was it that is own unworthy brother, when he had fallen, sold his people to the Turk and brought the shame of slavery on them! Was it not this Dracula, indeed, who inspired that other of his race who in a later age again and again brought his forces over the great river into Turkeyland; who, when he was beaten back, came again, and again, and again, though he had to come alone from the bloody field where his troops were being slaughtered, since he knew that he alone could ultimately triumpgh? They said that he thought only of himself. Bah! what good are peasants without a leader? Where ends the war without a brain and a heart to conduct it? Again, when, after the battle of Mohacs, we threw off the Hungarian yoke, we of the Dracula blood were amongst their leaders, for our spirit would not brook that we were not free. Ah, young sir, the Szekelys - and the Dracula as their heart's blood, their brains, and their swords - can boast a record that mushroom growths like the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs can never reach. The warlike days are over. Blood is too precious a thing in these days of dishonourable peace; and the glories of the great races are as a tale that is told.

Who are the Children of the night in Dracula?
"The Children of the night. Listen to them, what sweet musik they sing."
Dracula to Mr. Harker when they hear Wolves singing in the night.
"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.

'Is Dracula alive in the world?'
Well, that's really a funny question. However, the answer might be: YES. Dracula is still living throughout history. He's flying through our brains, strengthening our blood to become strong and invincible. He's an example of pure justice applied to those that dare to enslave the others. Thus he is to be remembered forever. Dare to ask him for some strength when you're weak, he will be more than happy to share it with you.

Draco's mother, Narcissa, is a member of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. This family believe strongly in pure-blood and that no witch or wizard should ever love or befriend anyone who had muggle blood within their family. Any that believe otherwise were stricken from the family tree. Like most of the family members, Draco's name comes from a constellation that has a connection to many mythological Greek legends. The constellation is said to symbolize a dragon with a hundred heads that Hercules had to defeat in his Twelve Labors. In Latin, Draco translates to mean 'dragon' and in Greek it means 'serpent'. It is believed that Draco's name was also chosen because of the fact that Lucifer, or Satan, is often referred to as a dragon in the Christian religion and Draco belongs to a dark, evil family.
