As I come from Romania I know the Dracula legend way better than anyone. For the beginning Vlad Tepes is the rulers name that inspired the german stories and then Bram Stocker's book. The only real thing in the book is that he leaved on a very sharp mountain and had a castel where he could hide from enamies and from where he could see all the country :) plus he used to impale the turkey enamies and the romanian thiefs.
It is said that he left a golden coup in the middle of nowhere in Romania and no one had the guts to steal it because they new the ruler will find and punish them. He is consider our most honest ruler ever.
I'm proud the leave in the town of Hunedoara. Here he was kept in jail in the castle of Hunedoara in the time of Iancu of Huniade, Romanian ruler and guvernator of Hungary.
:)

watch mythbusters on discovery channel, the show is about urban legends and then it trys to prove whether or not it is possible. the one i am watching right now is the legend about a scuba diver being sucked up by a firefighting plane/helicopter that is fighting a wildfire. the legend goes that they find a guy in full scuba gear in the middle of a forest that was recently burned by fire. the legend is busted, not possible.

One goes like this: A couple awake in the middle of the night to the sound of their car being stolen. They call the police and report it. Soon they look outside and notice that the car has been returned with a note on the windshield. It says "I'm sorry I had to take your car, but it was a matter of life or death. Please take these tickets as a token of my thanks and apologies" and with the note there was a pair of expensive opera tickets. The couple went to the opera, and when they returned, their house had been robbed.

i know one that i real like,Bloody Mary .It's 1969 and Mary Banner is a bookish, unpopular girl who has unexpectedly been invited to the dance by a star athlete. His intentions are less than admirable, however, and after trying to escape from him Mary suffers a long and painful death. It has the film, awesome!!!!
To find more, you can go to Barnes and Noble.com
