Transylvanian Tumbleweeds: Undead Sagebrush of the Old Country - Count Dracula in the Theme Parks
Manage episode 465414490 series 3564222
In part one of our exploration of the Transylvanian tyrant turned tourist trap, we break down some of Dracula's origins. Don't worry, this is not going to be that same old "Dracula is based on Vlad the Impaler" lecture that you've already heard. It's much stranger than that. And much more wonderful.
Then we start to place the good Count into some of his earliest theme park appearances.
Part 2 should be up next week!
