Dracula Exploited! Film at Eleven!

It shouldn't come as any news to you that, once news of ole Vlad the Impaler became common knowledge, the land of his reign decided to make some money off the ole stick-in the-mud.

Note the headline ... we monster kids would've called Dracula an "unnatural" resource, eh?  It disturbs me when this story calls Vlad "a national hero."  He was a nationalist, and he may have kept the Turks out of what was later called Romania.  But a hero?  No matter what the italicized lead-in says, not all of Vlad's victims were "enemies."

This clipping is from the October 2, 1983 Tulsa World.

See you Wednesday!
