Vem var Dracula? (1975)

A documentary exploring the legends of vampires, using books, paintings and early films on the subject.
The blood-curdling truth behind the legendary vampire.
Based on Raymond McNally and Radu Florescu's book of the same name, which explores the historical Vlad the Impaler and his influence on the making of Bram Stoker's "Dracula." The film also makes a detour to cover information from Florescu's follow-up book "In Search of Frankenstein." While not mentioned by name, the alchemist referenced who probably inspired Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein" was the notorious Konrad Dippel. Just as Vlad Tepes has now become essential to the vampire myth, Florescu's research has resulted in Dippel being incorporated into Frankenstein mythology in popular culture.
