B Frankenstein
C Dracula
Our homepage features a bird’s-eye view of Poenari Castle, high in the Făgăraș Mountains of Romania. Vlad the Impaler made this site one of his main fortresses in the 15th century. He was a ruthless ruler who would become a national hero and the subject of much gruesome folklore, some of which likely inspired author Bram Stoker to call his fictional vampire ‘Count Dracula.’
The correct answer is Dracula.
