Dracula's castle
Vampire's gothic home
Dracula's castle refers to Bran Castle in Romania, a medieval fortress popularly associated with Bram Stoker's vampire count, though the connection is largely a tourist invention.
The phrase often serves as shorthand for any Gothic, foreboding structure: The abandoned mansion on the hill looked like Dracula's castle.
It evokes crumbling stone towers, bats, and an atmosphere of aristocratic menace.
