| "To this day, Dracula has become a type of symbol associated with the vampire. The chilling account of Dracula was first published in 1897, a horror romance type novel by Bram Stoker who lived from 1847-1912. With Gothic references of gloomy castles and open graves at midnight, its realism and horror captured the reader. Stage plays and movies have been based on the worldwide king of the vampires, with his black formal attire and large cape suggesting his ability to change from human form to a vampire bat at will. |

| "Horrible and sinister tales were handed down over the centuries telling of how the vampires came in the dark of night to claim their victims and turn them into vampires too. During the nineteenth century, a blood chilling legend of Count Dracula, unfolded in the form of journals and letters. He lived in Castle Dracula, as the legend goes, in the province of Transylvania, in Rumania. The castle was surrounded at night by wolves, preventing any person from leaving or entering. Living for centuries on the blood of human victims, the dreaded creature roamed only at night and returned to a coffin by day. The only known method to release the agonized soul of the vampire was to drive a stake through its heart as it lay immobile in its coffin. |

| "The mere mention of Dracula's name caused frightened local residents to scurry to their homes, lock their doors and windows and place a crucifix at any possible avenue of entrance, sleeping with a crucifix or wreath of garlic around their necks to ward off the evil vampire. |

| "The legends of the vampire were best known in the Rumanian sector of the old world and many peasants living there today are still bound by the superstitious fear of the fictional vampire." |
