    Some people find that Dracul is heroic for he fought against the Turks when they invaded. Others exaggerate his monstrousity by claiming that he drank the blood from his conquered foes. He did, in fact, eat his dinner in the midst of a great number of recently-impaled people. I often wonder how he could eat with such a sight around him- I would vomit. He was, in my opinion, a man (like many others in history and now) who was power-hungry, and went to great bloody lengths to get what he wanted.

    The Countess Bathory, I find, is the most repugnant of the "vampires" for she bathed in blood every day in order to maintain what her mind believed to be a "youthful" freshness. She kept apparently 200 young women locked in an interior room where some were selected every night to be murdered for their blood. Another thing about the Countess was that she never used towels to dry off because they were too rough. Instead, she made some more of her slave girls to lick the blood off of her body.

    It's amazing how sick some people can be. Sick in the fact that they will do things that hurt other people just to sate their own lusts or whatever.



    I love you too much to condemn you.
