First published in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula laid the foundations for what would become horror fiction, and set up most of the vampire tropes you know on one fell swoop.

Crosses and sunlight? That’s a Stoker. Bat transformation? That’s a Stoker. Sleeping in dirt from your homeland? You know that’s our guy Bram. So what better way to cap off our bloodthirsty trilogy of vampire episodes than with a look at the inspirations for – and lasting impact of – everyone’s favorite count who’s a dirty dog sometimes?
