About: Transylvania in popular culture

An Entity of Type: WikicatPlacesInPopularCulture, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Largely as a result of the success of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Transylvania has become a popular setting for gothic horror fiction, and most particularly vampire fiction. In some later books and movies Stoker's Count Dracula was conflated with the historical Vlad III Dracula, known as Vlad the Impaler (1431–1476), who though most likely born in the Transylvanian city of Sighișoara, ruled over neighboring Wallachia.
