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.

Did You Know Dracula was Based on a Real Person? 

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)

In the English-speaking world Vlad III is perhaps most commonly known for inspiring the name of the vampire in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.Dracula
