In Search of Dracula

Nestled in the Carpathian Mountains of the Transylvanian region of Romania is the castle that once was the stronghold of Vlad Dracula. Indeed, Dracula did exist, but unlike the blood-sucking monster of popular myth, the real Dracula was a fifteenth century prince who tortured and killed thousands- savagely impaling his victims on sharpened spikes. Christopher Lee (the actor who has portrayed the vampire more times than any other) traces the roots of the Dracula legend back to their horrifying historical origins. Based on the best-selling book by Raymond McNally and Radu Florescu, In Search of Dracula exposes the fictional monster and his real-life counterpart, "Vlad the Impaler," while also showing for the first time on film the infamous Borgo Pass, vampire bats feasting on blood and exorcism rites for the undead.
