Vlad the Impaler - Dracula - Bran Castle, Transylvania

Vlad Tepes the Impaler (Dracula), the sadistic Romanian Prince who became the model for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Dracula is not exactly my idea of a Prince nor is he charming considering he loved to impale his victims and perform other hideous acts of torture on them. As a ruler Dracula did have his enemies! However, he was soon able to reclaim his throne and continued slaying the masses, especially those he felt deserved it. From 1456 to 1462 Dracula set his plans into action and committed his most heinous of acts against the human population.

Tales say, in order to kill a vampire one must impale them through the chest with a wooden stake. I'm guessing this derived from Dracula's chosen form of torturing and excuting his victims bt casing them unbelievable pain and suffering?! His need for performing gruesome acts extended to both sexes, of all ages, and was often left on display for all to see.

Check out Weird Encyclopedia for a more sickening version that has all the gory details!
