Knowledge of Vlad the Impaler as the inspiration for Dracula is widespread today but all of this can be traced back to McNally and Florescu. The two combined to research the background of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) and in particular Vlad the Impaler from whom Stoker took inspiration and the name Dracula. Florescu, a Romanian expatriate who fled the country at the outbreak of World War II, and the American-born McNally were professors at Boston College. In Search of Dracula is a documentary based on the non-fiction book In Search of Dracula: The History of Dracula and Vampires (1972) by Radu Florescu and Raymond McNally. ![]()
