COUNT DRACULA

While the rest of the world sleeps, one man is awake. He lives in a cold, solitary castle in the mountains of eastern Europe. During the day, he sleeps on a coffin filled with dirt. At night, he wakes up hungry … for blood! He’s Count Dracula, the vampire from Transylvania.
The charater of Count Dracula comes from the novel, Dracula, written by Bram Stoker in 1897. Since then, the character in Stoker’s novel has appeared in many movies and stories, in which Dracula travles around at night looking for victims. When he comes across one, he sucks blood from the victim’s neck. People can protect themselves from Dracula by hanging garlic around the doors and windows of their houses. They can identify him by looking for his reflection in a mirror. He doesn’t have one, and he doesn’t have a shadow, either.
Many people think that Stoker got the idea for his Dracula from a man named Vlad Tepes who lived in Transylvania 600 years ago. Tepes sometimes used the name Dracula, which comes from a word that means dragon or devil. This is probably the only connection between the character Dracula and the real man in history.
Stoker invented his character and story, but some of his ideas came from traditional stories. Around the world there are still myths about vampires. Supertitious people believe the dead can return to the world and suck the blood of living people. Believers close their windows at night to keep out the evil night air – and Dracula.
