About Transylvanian Society of Dracula

The Transylvanian Society of Dracula is a non-profit, cultural-historical organization specializing in two main areas of interest:

The vampire myth, particularly that of Dracula (in the West) and the impact of this character on the culture and myths of Romania.

Vlad Dracula or Vlad the Impaler, the 15th century ruler of Wallachia (part of the modern Romania). Since the appearance of his namesake, Bram Stoker's vampire Count Dracula in 1897, the work of an ever-growing number of writers and film-makers has been i nspired by Stoker's creation. This has resulted in an increasing awareness and interest in the fascinating history of Vlad Dracula.

The Society provides a clearing house of information pertaining to the serious study of Dracula and related topics. Its members comprisehistorians, folklorists, literary critics, researchers, students, film enthusiasts - anyone with a serious interest in Dracula.
