An episode of the old 1970's show, In Search Of (that was hosted by Leonard Nimoy) that dealt with Dracula.  They were actually allowed to film in then Communist controlled Romania.

I thought Bran Castle was built by Vlad Dracul.

No, the Castle was first built by Teutonic knights.

Vlad Dracula only passed through this castle.

Yes :-)

That's tourism marketing :)

But with Dracula or without Dracula it's still worth a visit :)
