The World's Eternal Favorite Vampire
Ever since Bram Stoker penned his most famous novel way back in 1897, Dracula has been the world's favorite vampire.
There have been countless movies, books, cartoons, articles, and songs, written in honor of this remarkably ageless character.
Please join me in exploring the best tributes to the Prince of Darkness, Dracula and his creator Bram Stoker.
Three Reasons I Love Dracula
1. Dracula offers us eternity, the chance to live forever, and who wouldn't find living forever attractive.2. And speaking of attractive, Dracula is sexy. In fact, I think he's THE most sensual monster of all time. I mean Frankenstein is cool but . . .
3. And best of all, Dracula offered his creator eternity. As a writer I can only dream of creating a character who lives on and on into eternity, carrying my name along with him.

Bela Lugosi
The Actor Who Would Become Dracula
It's impossible to discuss Dracula without adding something about Bela Lugosi. He took his role in the 1931 Dracula movie quite seriously, reprising it on many occasions, and played the part until his dying day.
Read his biography on wikipedia to learn more about this great actor.
Béla Lugosi (20 October 188216 August 1956) was a Hungarian actor of stage and screen, well known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and subsequent film version. In the last years of his career he featured in several of Ed Wood's low budget films.
A Tribute to Bela Lugosi as Dracula
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead - Lyrics
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead - Lyrics"White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead"
This song was featured in the vampire movie, The Hunger, starring David Bowie and Susan Sarrandon.

Vlad Dracula aka Vlad the Impaler
Read up on the inspiration for Bram Stoker's creepy character.
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (c. 1431 ? December 1476), more commonly known as the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad ?epe? ) or Dracula, was a three-time voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462.
Historically Vlad is best known for his independent policy towards the Ottoman Empire, the expansionism of which he resisted[http://www.romaniatourism.com/dracula.html Count Dracula's Legend] and for the exceedingly cruel punishment he imposed.Vlad III (ruler of Walachia)

- You don't know Dracula until you have read th e book, but the history of Dracula movies is pretty cool. The Broadway play was a disappointment to me, though.
As for attractive? All those centuries dead makes for some pretty bad breath. Now Spike, HE is gorgeous.

- The idea of a monster that sucks human blood fascinated me when I was a kid and I've been a fan of Dracula ever since. The scariest Dracula movie I watched as a kid was a Japanese version called "Lake of Dracula." I had trouble sleeping for weeks after that!

- I read the original Dracula story when I was about twelve. I loved it but I managed to scare myself half to death for at least the next six months. Every time a bird or an insect hit the bedroom window I cowered in fear. Hmmm. Maybe I should read Dracula again and see if I've matured any since then.
