He did impale a loooooot of people though. He also had the title “Dracula”, and may be the source of some of the legends about vampires.
So yeah, it’s never too late to pursue your dreams, but you do still have to get off your ass and pursue the hell out of them. Also it helps if your dad is rich and powerful.
His father was in the order of the dragon. So he was Vlad Dracul, or Vlad the dragon. Vlad is the son of Dracul: Dracula or Vlad the son of the dragon. So basically the vampire is just the son of a dragon, which is pretty metal, but not as metal as the actual dragon.
It is a very metal title, and it’s no wonder Bram Stoker chose it as the name of his character.
I still maintain that vampires = rabies, though.
- Biting - the main way rabies is transmitted
- Weak to holy water - rabies causes hydrophobia
- Snarling faces - rabies causes muscles to tighten, dogs who have rabies are very snarly
- Transforms into bats, wolves, etc - rabies is often spread by these animals
- Feeds on livestock - many “prey” animals primarily exhibit the paralytic form of rabies
- No reflection - in the past, a person was not considered rabid if they could look at their own reflection
Give me any other vampire trope, I think I can relate it to rabies.
Would love to hear garlic and wooden stakes
- Garlic - rabies victims have an aversion to strong stimuli, eg taste, smell, and also light.
- Wooden stakes - in the late stages rabid people are paralytic. They’re still alive, but don’t move. However, if you stab them they might scream.
You say that, but I’m 46 and I’ve never been given the opportunity to impale anyone. Now is that fair?
Maybe you just haven’t really applied yourself.
the opportunity has always been there, your eyes just weren’t open to it yet

Yeah before that he was called “some dude in a weird hat.” I’m glad he found a hobby that he was good at.
So what you’re saying that I’m already half a decade late to start impaling people? Well, fuck…
you know, I always wondered how he impaled people. Like was it belly to back? seems simple and just lots of stabbing. Was it like butt to head? That would be pretty horrifying because you gotta get through bones and organs and breathing Was it limbs? Be a pretty slow death.
Ok, so image a spit roast, except the shaft is a wooden rod the thickness of your forearm and the meat is you. The shaft is forced into the meat, starting at the ass, and carefully inserted as to not damage its surroundings until it comes out the other end, this being your mouth, and then the shaft is firmly placed in the ground so that you are now an example of what not to do. Also, it is said that vlad was so good at impairing people that they would still be alive after the shaft went all the way through, leaving them in pain as they slowly die from either organ failure, internal bleeding, or thirst and/or starvation.
This demon got his head shopped off and impaled (if I recall correctly) outside of Istanbul.
In 1476, while marching to yet another battle with the Ottomans, Vlad and a small vanguard of soldiers were ambushed, and Vlad was killed and beheaded — by most reports, his head was delivered to Mehmed II in Constantinople as a trophy to be displayed above the city’s gates.
He got what was coming to him.
Wait wait don’t tell me taught me he was probably vegan.
There is still time, is what you’re saying…
Also, in those days, that was like 50.
