Fun Fact:
This scene from the 1992 film, Bram Stoker's Dracula adapts a real legend regarding the first wife of Vlad Ţepeş, the Wallachian Voivode also called "Dracula".
According to this legend, while Vlad was away from his fortress (Poenari Castle), an arrow message was shot into the chamber of the princess with news of the Ottoman army's attack on the castle the following morning. Rather than risking capture, the princess jumped from the castle tower into the river below. In the film however, she jumps after hearing false news of Dracula's death.
The river in this legend was later named "Râul Doamnei", meaning "The Lady's River". In a later scene in the film, Dracula names the river "Argeș, River Princess". But Argeș is actually the larger river that Râul Doamnei connects to.

✨🧛🏻Happy Dracula Day!!!🧛🏻✨
Bram Stoker's novel enjoyed considerable success at the time of its publication, but the vehicle that really propelled Dracula to worldwide fame was the staggering number of cinematic adaptations.
Dracula is still used as a model for the development of countless characters from the most varied segments. From horror, romance, and even action, Dracula is a versatile figure.
With its pale skin, sharp fangs and pointed ears or a handsome face free of stereotypical features, the bloodsucking monster has persisted as the embodiment of the vampire archetype for over a century.
I wish I could round up all the faces that played him, but that's a big list. So here are some more names that brought Dracula to life:
• Frank Langella (Dracula, 1979).
• Leslie Nielsen (Dracula, 1995).
• Rudolf Martin (Buffy, 2000).
• Gerard Butler (Dracula, 2000).
• George Hamilton (Dracula, 1979).
• Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, 2012).
• Nicholas Cage (Renfield, 2023).
