it was bram stoker but the original story (that i know, at least) was that there was this prince named vladislous dracul and he was really evil and whatnot so the towns people made up stories about how he sucked other people's blood.... lovely, isn't it?

Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, and the name of its title character, the vampire Count Dracula.
The Dead Un-Dead was one of Stoker's original titles for Dracula, and up until a few weeks before publication, the manuscript was titled simply The Un-Dead. The name of Stoker's count was originally going to be Count Vampyre, but while doing research Stoker ran across an intriguing word in the Romanian language: "Dracul", meaning "Dragon". There was also a historic figure known as Vlad the Impaler, but whether or not Stoker based his character on him remains debated but is now considered unlikely.

Bram Stoker of Dublin wrote the original novel. I'm quite sure he derived the story from old folk tales.

I think you are referring to Bram Stoker. He got the idea from when he visited Transylvania, and was told the real story of Vlad Dracul, the Impaler, which he later changed to Dracula.
