Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, released in 1897, terrified audiences worldwide, but its titular character was based on Vlad the Impaler, a ruler of Wallachia in Transylvania. Vlad gained notoriety for impaling his enemies on stakes outside his castle. After Vlad’s death, the history of his descendants became unclear, inspiring Stoker’s creation of Count Dracula.
