- Title Card: They Call Him Vlad The Importer This is a comic allusion to Vlad The Impaler, or Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431-1476). He was also called Vlad Dracula or simply Dracula, and well known for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is perhaps most commonly known for inspiring the name of the vampire in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.
