Count Vladimir "Sam" Dracula (better known as "Grandpa" to his family) is a seemingly immortal vampire with extensive skills in magic and science. He was played by the late comedy actor Al Lewis.
Bio
Count Vladimir Sam Dracula was born in Transylvania in 1367 He has been married 167 times throughout his long lifetime but because of his undead status he tends to outlive each new woman he marries, but despite their deaths, he still visits their ghosts and/or undead corpses quite often and they are all still on good terms. His favorite wife though was his 13th wife, the late Grandma Dracula who he had several children with, notably Lily Munster, Lester Dracula and Marilyn's mother. He also had many other children apparently, as Lily claims that she had a "whole mausoleum" full of brothers and sisters to play with as a child, with these other countless children presumably being the result of Grandpa's many other marriages.
While loving all his kids he thought little of his eldest son Lester, whom he considers a "loser" and a "bum" due to his constant failures and poor financial choices.
He is very old and personally knew several historical figures like Napoleon and Jack the Ripper, but he possibly exaggerates his age since he claims he also knew Nero, King Arthur, and Richard the Lionheart who predate his lifespan. He has the ability to turn into a bat or wolf by using one of his pills that he invented although the effects of his spells are often unpredictable. He has his own laboratory converted from the cellar under the Munster Mansion.
During the mid-to-late 1700s he was friends with Dr. Frankenstein it's implied that he helped him in the experiment that helped create Herman Munster.
Herman Munster would later marry her daughter Lily Munster in the mid 1800s after the marriage they moved to 1313 Mockingbird Lane and Count Dracula later moved there during the late 1890s.
Description
He is an expert inventor, although many of his inventions tend to malfunction or explode leading Herman to call him "a crackpot mad scientist". He has a love for attractive women and cigars.
Trivia
Despite having been married 167 times, Grandpa claims that he has not attended any of his own weddings since his 140th marriage in the episode "Love Comes to Mockingbird Heights". This possibly implies that he stopped having formal wedding ceremonies after his 140th marriage.
