DragonKing Dark: In Search of History – Dracula
This week on DragonKing Dark, I take a look back at a 1996 documentary from the ‘In Search of History…’ on the origins of Dracula.
We will look back at the fact and fiction of tying the real-life Vlad Tepes to the fictional vampire lord Dracula. While Bram Stoker’s Dracula gets his name and much of his home setting from Vlad the Impaler, there is some question of how much the two Draculas have in common. We take a look back at this 1996 documentary and discuss what has changed since then.
