Where does the legend Dracula come from?

The vampires we are familiar with today are mostly based on eastern European legends. As Christianity spread, so did the belief in vampires. The Catholic Church officially recognized the existence of vampires as agents of the devil in 1215. There was mass hysteria for years; people who died from unknown causes were automatically thought to have been victims of vampirism. Graves were dug up years after burial to check for vampirism.

Bram Stoker combined historical fact with his imagination to create Dracula. He based Count Dracula on a historical figure from the 15th century. His name was Vlad Dracula (Dracul was the family name; the "a" at the end means "son of"), and he was nicknamed the Impaler. He was known for impaling his enemies onto poles and leaving them by the roadside or in their yards. This was done to invoke fear in those who would come against him. He was also known for mass executions, having large feasts in front of the dying, and for scalping, which some believe to be the origin of the Native American custom.

Vlad never actually drank the blood of his victims, but rather painted his face with their blood to emphasize his menace.

Contrary to popular belief, Dracula's castle is not in Transylvania. He was born there (northern Romania) but ruled in southern Romania.

On a side note: At the same period in history as Vlad, Hungarian Countess Elisabeth Bathroy was a blood monger in her own right. By her own testimony, she had over 650 victims, would bite large pieces of their flesh, torture them, and bathe in their blood.
