PMR544-7 Bran Castle, built shortly after 1377 to protect trade routes and levy tolls, now exclusively associated with the "Count Dracula" stories of Bram Stoker which were perhaps based on Vlad Tepes ("Vlad the Impaler") the bloodthirsty Prince of Wallachia (born 1431), although the latter did not live in Transylvania. Here: the open air museum of traditional Romanian farmhouses in the grounds of the castle; beehives in the foreground. Keywords: Count Dracula, Transylvania, Vampire, Gothic Horror Stories, Bram Stoker, Blood-sucking, Gothic Castle, Spooky, Eerie, Frightening, Bloddthirsty, ghoulish, demonic, devilish, weird, vampirish
