Fun With Vlad the Impaler
Imagine if, a hundred years or so from now, the actions of monsters like Slobodan Milovanovic, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Kermit Gosnell, or Ted Bundy get elevated to mythical status and become far more exaggerated, and each inspires fictional characters that themselves become horror icons for centuries. We can argue that this is already happening with some of these gents, such as Bundy being an inspiration for Buffalo Bill of Silence of the Lambs, or Ed Gein being a model for Norman Bates in Psycho (and Buffalo Bill too, for that matter). We can also say that some of these guys, like Hitler, were so bad that no exaggeration or fictionalization is necessary to keep alive the memory of his actions. But none of them are likely to spawn a fictional character as big as the one brewed from the tales of a 15th-century Romanian leader named Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, aka Vlad Țepeș, aka Vlad the Impaler, aka Count friggin Dracula.
Vlad the Impaler, a Romanian ruler who was thought to have dined alongside his impaled victims, was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a character who has already been well-known for more than a century. And since Dracula won’t soon be forgotten, the story of the blood-sucking godfather will string along with it the legends of his model, Vlad Țepeș (a name I like writing because of the Ț and the ș).
It’s been 535 years since Vlady unleashed hell on the Ottoman Empire, long enough for Prince Charles to claim him as a distant relative without inciting a scandal in the British tabloids. The list of Fun With Dracula things would go on forever, so let’s instead focus on the inspiration for Dracula, Mr. The Impaler, and imagine if the modern day psychopaths listed above will one day get etched in this crap, as well:
