help Young Dracula FAQ
Why does Vlad Dracula want to be human in Young Dracula?
Vlad would rather live like an ordinary boy than inherit his father's role as the next powerful Dracula. That conflict drives the early CBBC episodes after the family relocates from Transylvania to Stokely.
Is Young Dracula based directly on Bram Stoker's Dracula?
No. It is based primarily on Michael Lawrence's children's books, while borrowing names and vampire mythology associated with Dracula. Its school comedy and family conflicts are much lighter than Bram Stoker's 1897 novel.
Who plays Vlad and Count Dracula in Young Dracula?
Gerran Howell plays Vlad, and Keith-Lee Castle plays his flamboyant father, Count Dracula. Clare Thomas plays Vlad's bloodthirsty older sister Ingrid.
Does Young Dracula become darker in the later series?
Yes. The show began in 2006 as a broad children's horror-comedy, but later series gave Vlad more serious responsibilities, vampire politics and dangerous enemies. The final episodes aired in 2014.
