Count Dracula

Count Dracula is a fictional character from the Dracula fandom, which had entered public domain.

Trivia

 * The character of Dracula was named after Vlad Dracula Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler. Though many historians claim that Bram Stoker was trying to villainize a historical figure, it is far more likely that he simply liked the sound of the name "Dracula". Some adaptations conflate Dracula with Vlad the Impaler and even in those who don't, it's common agreement that "Vlad" is the Count's unspoken first name.
 * Bela Lugosi was not the first actor to depict Dracula on film, as the silent movie Nosferatu shows the character of Count Orlok depicted by Max Schreck, both the movie and the character are considered adaptations of Dracula. However, the character of Count Orlok had established himself as a separate entity after Nosferatu entered public domain as well. Some adaptations even have Orlok be related to Dracula.
