Chilling episode well remembered by fans who were terrified by this as children. Eerie music, direction, and images all combine to tell this tale of how Bram Stoker was influenced by the real life Transylvanian ruler Vlad Tepes, whose reported brutal reign and method of punishment are effectively put across, though his descendants claim that it was exaggerated by his conquerors as propaganda. Disturbing elements of deformity and suffering are simply but powerfully conveyed, and captures a wonderful sense of otherworldliness that is palpable. Also shows pictures of various actors who played Dracula, and much use of the silent film 'Nosferatu'.
