Vhen zhe Classical Movie Vampire became szuch an iconic portrayal of vampires, zuh vay sczhey szpoke also became iconic. In other words, whenever vampires speak, they will inevitably have an Eastern European or Slavic accent. In the novel Dracula, the title character is said to be descended from the Szekely people, a Hungarian-speaking ethnic group still found in Romania. This is one of the many characteristics that serves to differentiate Stoker's character from the historical Vlad the Impaler — Tepes — who was ethnically Vlach and spoke Romanian as his native language. Bela Lugosi, who played the best-known screen Dracula in the 1931 film, was also a native Hungarian speaker born in present-day Romania (Dracula's historical namesake ruled over the kingdom of Wallachia, while the count himself hailed from Transylvania — two different regions of Romania). Also, due to the prominence of Jewish actors in Hollywood, it can also sound suspiciously like Yiddish — which, although a Germanic language, has been significantly influenced by Slavic languages, especially in terms of pronunciation/accent (at least for the Eastern Yiddish dialect group with Galitsianer, i.e Ukrainian Yiddish, and Litvak, i.e. Lithuanian Yiddish). If you're curious: most native speakers of Slavic languages talk that way because they don't have a [w] sound, its closest stand-in being [v]. Hence, they'll often pronounce "w" as "v" when learning English. A large number of vampires in fiction have adopted the same affectations in their speech. As more modern portrayals have been introduced, this has become less common, but it is still frequently used in comedic portrayals. All of vhich ics to szay zat zare are an auful lot of vampires avound who vont to "sohk yu blaohd". Also they tend to say "BLEH!" or "BLAH!" a lot; often two or three utterances at a time. Note that in the original novel, Count Dracula is said to speak fluent English. (In fact, when his guest comments on it, he explains that his pride would never allow him to settle for merely being another foreigner with a funny accent once he visits Britain.) Additionally, Bela Lugosi did not actually make his W's sound like V's. Check out the real deal here.note He does say "it would be vell for you to return" at the beginning, but near the end he pronounces "wolfbane" with a w. Even Martin Landau got this one wrong — compare the original "atomic supermen" speech in ''Bride of the Monster'' with Landau's version in Ed Wood. A case of Small Reference Pools with regards to vampires, and a Dead Horse Trope. As Dracula in the novel never spoke like this (as mentioned above) and Dracula from Hammer Horror didn't do this on the few occasions he spoke, this is something of a Dead Unicorn Trope born of Small Reference Pools. See also Fang Thpeak and Sssssnake Talk. Sister Trope to Japanese Ranguage and Arab Beoble Talk. Compare The Coconut Effect. Related to Fake Russian. This trope has nothing to do with the Vord. Vampires aren't real — and other examples regarding Eastern European accents don't really belong under this trope — so No Real Life Examples, Please! |

Thud!: Vimes remarked that he wanted to tell Doreen that she can use Ws, honestly — just borrow them from the guy who overemphasis his Ws (a real vampire trying too hard not to look like one), and added that her fake fangs rattle when she talks. Showing that the accent (or least Doreen's) is considered highly annoying. This is at least partly because Doreen has come to the conclusion that, as vampires, she and Arthur must logically be nobles, and therefore she stands for a number of things that Vimes find offensive, so his patience with her is probably already limited at best. | |

Reaper Man introduces Arthur and Doreen Winkings, also known as Count and Countess Notfaroutoe, who were mere middle-aged merchants before Arthur received a certain "inheritance" from a "deceased" relative in Uberwald. Oddly, although she has never been turned by him, Doreen is the one who affects a thick Uberwald accent in conversation, most likely due to her class consciousness. | |

Discworld: Repeatedly parodied. The Truth: Early in, William de Worde meets Otto Chriek, the vampire who will become his iconographer, and assumes that he's a vampire due to his thick Ãœberwalder accent. Otto isn't amused, since while, yes, he is a vampire, there are plenty of non-vampiric Ãœberwalders, and William wouldn't have thought to wonder whether he was a vampire if he had had a more "respectable" accent. A later book suggests that Otto exaggerates his native accent deliberately in public; if he acts like a music-hall vampire he's seen as a joke rather than a bloodsucking monster, and people relax around him, which is important in his job. Otto speaks with a cod-Central European accent in the original books to emphasise to an English-speaking and presumed-British readership that he is a Sinister-but-Funny Foreigner from a long way away. This posed a unique problem to the Czech translator of Discworld, who was retailoring the character for a readership who actually lived in Central Europe. Word of God, or at least Word Of Translator, is that for Czechs, Otto was reimagined as a different sort of parasitical bloodsucking alien entity from a far country, a cultural referent they knew well. In terms of accent and personality, Otto Chriek became suspiciously Russian-like for them. Reaper Man introduces Arthur and Doreen Winkings, also known as Count and Countess Notfaroutoe, who were mere middle-aged merchants before Arthur received a certain "inheritance" from a "deceased" relative in Uberwald. Oddly, although she has never been turned by him, Doreen is the one who affects a thick Uberwald accent in conversation, most likely due to her class consciousness. Thud!: Vimes remarked that he wanted to tell Doreen that she can use Ws, honestly — just borrow them from the guy who overemphasis his Ws (a real vampire trying too hard not to look like one), and added that her fake fangs rattle when she talks. Showing that the accent (or least Doreen's) is considered highly annoying. This is at least partly because Doreen has come to the conclusion that, as vampires, she and Arthur must logically be nobles, and therefore she stands for a number of things that Vimes find offensive, so his patience with her is probably already limited at best. Igors also speak quite differently, in a messy lisp; they also appear to be able to dispense with this if they wish to, and occasionally forget to lisp when distracted. Sally is a vampire that doesn't talk like Doreen or John Most-Definitively-Not-a-Vampire Smith, showing that the Vord usage is probably selective. Monstrous Regiment: Whether Maledict is speaking Morporkian is a good question (and difficult to answer). An awful lot of puns don't work if you assume everyone's speaking Borogravian for most of the book, but why wouldn't they be? Carpe Jugulum: None of the vampires use this accent (not even Bela, the old count). The inscription on the organ, however, reads "Hlisten to zee children of der night! Vot vonderful mhusick dey make!" While Moist von Lipwig does not have the accent, he explains to Mr. Pump, his golem parole officer, that the W in his name is properly pronounced like a V. At which point Mr. Pump starts speaking in that accent in an attempt to correct itself. The Fifth Elephant: Lady Margolotta speaks this way to Vimes, but not to anyone else, suggesting that she does it deliberately. She doesn't have the accent in Unseen Academicals, when she visits Ankh-Morpork, but does have it in Raising Steam, at home in Uberwald. Conversely, there are also reformed vampires wwwwho overemphasise their doubleyous, under the impression they're "fitting in". In fact, Vimes thinks that "it shouldn't be possible to roll your doubleyous, but he did it anyway." He's not just overemphasizing them, he is in fact pronouncing them multiple times. Probably just to prove he can. ("He", in this case, is the above-mentioned John "Most Definitely Not a Vampire" Smith.) |

Dracula: One of the reasons the Count keeps Harker alive in his castle so long is that he's trying very hard to shed his own Wallachian accent. Assuming he didn't head off to Britain until he was satisfied that he'd done so, it's likely that the original Count Dracula sounded like a law-schooled chap from Whitby during his English sojourn. Harker even notes the Count's handle on the language. | |

Also, when Van and Trip briefly become vampires in one episode, they start speaking the same way, possibly implying that a bad accent is a side effect of vampirism.

Negima The Abridged Series has Evangeline McDowell speak in a comically thick Eastern European accent with plenty of V's. Yes, Evangeline McDowell. She's faking it to make up for the fact that she doesn't scare people as much as she wants to. Getting kicked in the head or otherwise losing her concentration makes her slip back into a comically thick British accent. | |

Girl Genius: Used with the Jaegermonsters. In the comic's Steampunked Mitteleuropa (where, as historically, German is the language of business and international standard), everyone speaks perfect English due to the Translation Convention... except the Jaegers, who have thick German accents, conveying to the audience the same sort of connotations (a whole semi-species built of deliberately exaggerated Prussianisms) that their dialect conveys to the characters. | |

Carpe Jugulum: None of the vampires use this accent (not even Bela, the old count). The inscription on the organ, however, reads "Hlisten to zee children of der night! Vot vonderful mhusick dey make!" | |

The Truth: Early in, William de Worde meets Otto Chriek, the vampire who will become his iconographer, and assumes that he's a vampire due to his thick Ãœberwalder accent. Otto isn't amused, since while, yes, he is a vampire, there are plenty of non-vampiric Ãœberwalders, and William wouldn't have thought to wonder whether he was a vampire if he had had a more "respectable" accent. A later book suggests that Otto exaggerates his native accent deliberately in public; if he acts like a music-hall vampire he's seen as a joke rather than a bloodsucking monster, and people relax around him, which is important in his job. | |

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Parodied in "The Viper". An old woman who lives alone receives mysterious phone calls from someone who calls himself "the Viper." The Viper tells her that he is coming up to her apartment, repeatedly calling and letting her know he is on his way. At the story's end, there is a knock at the door, and the old woman answers it...revealing a little old man with a bucket and cloth who "vishes to vipe and vash the vindows." | |

The Laundry Files (by Charles Stross): In The Rhesus Chart, a couple of recently-turned vampires attempt to hypnotize a hematologist into giving them blood. They discover that hospitals don't keep large supplies of blood on hand due to the difficulties of storage, just ordering it on a case by case basis. Eventually one of them loses patience and tells her to stick a syringe in her arm. "I am a vampire and I vant to suck your blood!" | |

What We Do in the Shadows: Almost all vampires speak like this, but not all of them, as Nick retains his thick New Zealand accent after he gets bitten (and Petyr does not speak at all). Which makes it a Justified Trope, since the others do originally come from Eastern Europe. | |

Hotel Transylvania: Dracula. Strangely, he's the only monster who has a non-American accent. Even the Egyptian mummy talks like... well, Cee Lo Green (his voice actor). Dracula's daughter Mavis sounds like a typical American teenager (give or take 100 years). However, Dracula is adamant that he has never said "bleh, bleh, bleh" and is annoyed when people who pretend to be vampires do it. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: Downplayed. The only vampire to use this accent is Andrei, an old-world Tzimisce who in all likelyhood actually is Eastern European. The guy who drives the cab (there appears to be only a single cab driver in the entirety of LA for some reason) does it too. He later turns out to also be a vampire, and possibly Caine on top of it. | |
