Vlad The Impaler

Vlad the Impaler was also known as Vlad Dracula and is probably one of the most ruthless evil people in history. The character of Dracula was loosely based on Vlad, due to his cruel personality and evil acts done to the people of Wallachia, where he ruled as prince three times between 1448 to 1462 and killed about 20% of the population. There’s a reason why Vlad got the monicker “The Impaler” — he impaled lots of people. He impaled the victim through the buttocks till the stake came out of the mouth. His idea of “special” impalement was to insert the spike up the victim’s rectum or vagina, make sure it misses most of the vital organs, and let it come out through the shoulder. The victim will be then put up on the spike in the town square for everyone to see. And death would take a long time to come.
