    Fun fact: The "vampire" the Austrian doctor was supposed to exam was Sava Savanovic, a local celebrity in a Serbian village, who everybody feared. He disproved it and explained the case to Austrians, but the Serbs remained firm in the belief that Sava rises every month. His mill (the mill is an ominous symbol in Serbian folklore on its own) is still avoided by the villagers to this day. It is also a tourist attraction, by day of course

    • @henry1690
      @henry1690 7 лет назад +57

      You do have a good point, and I do think that it would be important to mention that in the video (considering that Florence Stoker is dead and Bram Stoker's great grand-nephew Dacre Stoker was unable to keep creative control of the property for very long). However, Nosferatu began bringing the story into the public eye while the Bela Lugosi version (the first authorized film version of Dracula) was the film that catapulted Dracula into mainstream media, with the novel going into the public domain expanding off of the fame set by the film versions (particularly from Lugosi, whom everyone likes to mimic with his Hungarian accent and widow's peak). Without them, I don't think Dracula would have the fame he now has today, and thus would we not have Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman to carry the torch.

    Vlad the Impaler was known as Dracula and he was what the character was inspired by. Vlad was known for having a tower in his castle that was high up. On the ground below the tower he had spikes planted in the ground. He would take his enemies up to the top of the tower and push them over the edge to the spikes below killing them. Vlad was called Dracula because the translations stands for "Dragon". The current British royal family are actually distant relations of Vlad the Impaler.

    This playlist reminded me of the first serious poem I had ever written; it was for the final project during my high school senior year drama class. I think this poem took me a weeks time, and a lot of walking to write haha.
    A softly tinted candy colored horizon, brings about the end to the first day in a long forever. A cool dawn breeze flows across the endless lakefront. As gulls playfully pass by, you hear a sound close to your heart, yet unrecognizable. You follow the narrow pier but reach its sudden end. Still the sound continues, haunting your every memory trying to recognize the tones of the benevolent falsetto. With tears beginning to swell, you leap into the open waters, and fight the storm of the ocean with no guide but the sweet serenade, drowning out even the crack of waves 20 feet tall. As you near, you begin to hear the faint sounds of the one who saved your life. Rather now this blissful sound has evolved into a bellowing melody of beautiful rhymes and utterance. And soon you learn the goodnight you heard, was the final product of 10,000 words.
    When can true bliss exist? When are we allowed to feel love with complete freedom? When is self-actualization a reality? The hollows of one’s mind may destroy these ideas before we can embrace them. Try as we may, failure and pain are a part of realizing these ideas, and those realties, fearfully may never come. But with withered realities and dreams comes hope. A hero, a warrior, an entity of love. A banner held high with morals of unmistakable value. A shield clashed with the iron clad of failure. And stripes of battles taken by victory. A sword dulled by the slashing of demons, only to be sharpened in preparation for what may be their last quarrel. At night both warrior and weak reflect on the dust settled and which star to follow. But where love is given in recur, its return is curtain. Those saved never forget, as those who fight may never fully understand.

    Despite Dracula being the most famous vampire in history, most people don't really know his debut story. They don't know about the Harkers, or Van Helsing, or Lucy, or her boyfriends, and they're the ones who actually are the main characters of the story.

      For an adaptation that does all of these characters justice, I'd highly recommend the audio drama Re:Dracula, which tells the story chronologically and is adapted straight from the book. The casting is perfect, they do such a good job bringing the story to life!

    Dracula was the quintisential movie star/celebrity vampire. The only one that I can think of that comes close to making the same impact would be Lestat and he still falls short. It wasn't just him having a novel at his back to generate the fame but the character himself was and still is- one of the most fascinating ever created.

Dracula obviously became king and he killed many people and many say he had a "thirst" for blood. Eventually it adapted to other countries.

      Dracula is a fictional character, he may come from wherever the author wants him to come. Stoker was not bad informed, he did read about Vlad the Impaler, and used his story as background, but he chose to place him in Transylvania so that he would make a whole backstory that Dracula was descended of the ruthless Attila the Hun through the Székelys. None of this makes sense in real life, but he was not interested in getting the facts right, he wanted to create a work of fiction which would scare the shit out of people. So saying that the book was misunderstood, or that Stoker was bad informed makes no real sense, since Stoker did not want to write history, he wanted to create mythology.

    are the troubled spirits of the dead rising from the grave. Some
    strigoi can be living people with certain magical properties. Some of
