The real-life dracula – vlad the impaler
Long before vampires haunted fiction, there was **Vlad the Impaler**—the real-life inspiration for Count Dracula. Born in 1431 in Transylvania, Vlad III ruled Wallachia with an iron fist, defending his land from the powerful Ottoman Empire. But what made him infamous wasn’t just his bravery—it was his brutal method of execution: **impalement**.

He once left 20,000 bodies on stakes to terrify his enemies. Some called him a national hero, others a sadistic tyrant.
This is the true story behind Dracula—and it’s more terrifying than the myth.
