Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Dracula is a story that began in history with Vlad Dracula, aka Vlad the Impaler!. Interesting story, but not what you are asking!.!.!. He was the one that inspired the name of Bram Stoker's Dracula!. Since that is where it all began, I would look there to see if there are any restrictions tied to the name!.!.!. I doubt it though considering all the different uses and such!.!.!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

vampires are generic
dracula by name is by bram stoker specifically and the copyright may be owned by the publishersWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nobody owns the right to Dracula!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe even the rights to the name Dracula have since run out!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
