Vampires and Dracula did not originate from the same mythology. The idea of evil undead walking the night and drinking blood arose long before Dracula. The idea of vampires arose from grave robbers opening coffins, and find the corpse perfectly preserved with blood dried around the mouth.

The vampire myth originated in Eastern Europe. Read up on Erzsébet Báthory and Vlad the Impaler. http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/seria… http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/seria… Here is a very interesting documentary about the origin of vampires, you’ll love it. It’s called, Vampire secrets. Also has information on “real” vampires. http://gabback.com/documentaries/index.
