Is Dracula, the father of vampires?

Answer 1

Nosferatu
vamps are hot
Oh wait, i pulled up this:
The first Vampire was Lilith, also the first wife of Adam that she eventually left for Lucifer. In short, the bone of the quarrel was that Lilith would prefer to stand over Adam but God wanted the man to rule. Lilith is also the Queen of Death and Demons. She was and is still adored in almost all religions by magicians, sorcecers and witches.

Answer 2

The Vampire legends can be traced from the earliest civilizations. Almost every culture has a vampire of some sort or another. So no, Dracula is not the father of vampires.

Answer 3

Some suggest that the first woman -Lillith- who also turned out to be the first feminist- was the mother of all vampires. In the Torah she was created at the same time as Adam, but when God said that she should be submissive to her husband she said "Oh hell no" or something to that effect, and left to breed with demons in a cave. God then sent an Angel to destroy every demon child that she produced as it was being born. Some say that she seeks the children of Adam and Eve to taint them with her touch and thus create Vampires. But that part isn't in any religious writings or lost scrolls that I know of. Then Adam was granted another wife before Eve, and God allowed him to watch her creation, but he was so turned off by her after watching her be made of dust and becoming flesh and blood, that he turned her away and she fled from eden in tears of sorrow, she is the Nameless One, because Adam did not even give her a name. And that is why he made Adam sleep while he took his rib to create Eve. So Eve was the third woman, and sucessfully submissive which has haunted all of women kind ever since. Dracula had three wives too you know....

Answer 4

Vlad the impaler was considering Dracula was based on him.

Although there have been dozens of living "Vampires" (aka real humans who participated in vampire type activities (drinking blood etc.)) loooong before Vlad was around. However Bram Stoker capitalized on the idea by writing Dracula.

Answer 5

Nope. In fact outside of Bram Stoker and subsequent fiction authors he was never even thought of as such. And don't even mention the whole vampire thing to people in Transylvania (Walachia, Romania) beczasue he is a national hero to them and for those that have studied the history of the area it is easy to see why.

Answer 6

In the world of fiction he was the first of his line (those humans he turned). God cursed him with vampirism for his blasphemy. He was not the first vampire however. Others before becamse vampires through pacts with the devil, created through alchemy, etc. It all depends on what book you're reading and what conditions are set by the author.

Answer 7

But he wasn't a vampire in the true sense, just an impaler

Answer 8

No. But why do vamps have to have a Father? Drac was just one of many famous blood suckers.
Ava, I love the Lilith story. Never heard it.

Answer 9

Actually, it's really believed that Lillith, Adam's first wife, became the first vampire and that she stole Adam's children from their cradles at night.

Answer 10

Prince of Darkness
