The Real Count Dracula

True Vampire: The Real Life of Count Dracula

The Real Count Dracula Comparing the Count Dracula of fact with that of fiction.
Count Dracula of Romania is being swamped by a tourist boom. Tourism has overtaken the facts of his spooky life and turned them into fiction. For fans worldwide Bram Stoker's Dracula - as immortalised in the book and countless films of the same name - is the real story of Dracula, teeth and all. But the real Vlad Dracula story, particularly nasty though it is, bears little relation to Stoker's version. He was a minor Count in a different part of Transylvania renowned for impaling his enemies on wooden stakes. The Transylvania Society of Dracula wants to set the record straight. They lead us on a tour of Vlad's home town - complete with the Dracula Hotel and coffin-filled crypt.
