I cant think of who was a more brutal leader.

Vlad killed far fewer but generally in a more vicious way. He was more like a mass murderer, while Attilla was a general who invaded many places over many years.

I would say Vlad accounts of his cruelty and blood thirsty nature are well documented.
Accounts of Attila's cruelty often confuse him with other barbarian warlords of that era. For example, In Dante's Divine Comedy, Attila appears in the seventh circle of Hell, immersed in a river of boiling blood, and is called "the scourge of Earth". Dante also charges him with the destruction of Florence, but this is a blunder by the author, who has confused him with the Ostrogothic warlord Totila.

I would give top points to Vlad the Impaler; he had a wicked sense of humor.

How about George Bush? He gets my vote. He has killed thousands directly with all the wars he has started.
