History Main / Alucard

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' #25 (Gold Key) has the gang helping Sidney Ladacur, a mayoral candidate who says he is kin to Dracula (his great-great uncle was Vlad Dracula of Wallachia) as his name is an anagram for Dracula. Criminal elements with ties to the opposition tries to use this against him with [[ScoobyDooHoax a perp wearing a Drac costume]] and making appearances stating that Ladacur's kinship with the vampire makes him ineligible for office.

* In Victorian literature vampires were only slightly more creative with their aliases. ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' once went by "Draco", while ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' used at least two different anagrams of her real name of "Mircalla".

* Part of ''Literature/TheHauntingOfDrearcliffGrangeSchool'' is set in the now-abandoned house where Dracula lived in London under the alias of Count De Ville. One of the schoolgirl protagonists notes that it's a pretty conspicuous alias for someone with an evil plan; she thinks spelling his name backwards would have been much cleverer.

* Referenced in spirit, if not execution, in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. The script J.D. is constantly working on is for a film called "Dr. Acula". In case you didn't get it, he explains that the movie's ending will involve dropping the period and smooshing the letters together to spell "Dracula." [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Turk thinks that's an awesome ending.]]

** The prologue detils Alucarda's birth to Lucy Westenra, suggesting that she is Dracula's daughter. Later in the film she finds Lucy's casket.

->'''Anderson''': Time the fuck out. If we're doing this - and we ''are'' doing this - I'm not gonna come swinging at ''Dracula.'' I'm killing '''''Alucard!'''''
->'''Dracula''' ... you ''do'' know that it's just my name spell backward-
->'''Anderson:''' Of course I do! ''Shut up and bring him out!''

A SdrawkcabName commonly used by vampires that is definitely a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Name To Run Away From Really Fast]]. It is also something of a ShoutOut to arguably the most famous [[{{Dracula}} vampire of all time]].

* In the animated Franchise/{{Batman}} movie ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'', Dracula uses the false identity of "Mr. Alucard, anthropologist". It doesn't take that long for Bruce Wayne to see through this not-too-subtle disguise.

* In ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'', there's a [[SplitPersonality slight distinction]] between Dracula and Alucard, even though they are the same person. Dracula is polite, friendly, erudite, and [[AffablyEvil incredibly, monstrously cruel]], while Alucard is a cheerful, petty, sex-crazed {{Troll}} who delights in screwing with people. It's a plot point that almost none of their enemies worked this out until the climax, and the ones who did are mildly embarrassed it took them so long to figure it out.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'', Dracula is operating under the alias of Alucard, but Bruce reveals the truth to Alfred (and the audience) by writing "ALUCARD" with backwards letters on a serving tray and holding it up to a mirror.

** In the ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'' canon, Alucard is actually [[spoiler:Trevor Belmont]]. The name "Alucard" is a pseudonym that Dracula gives to him [[spoiler: after he dies by his hand. Dracula (who in this continuity is Gabriel Belmont, Trevor's father) chose it as Trevor had stated that they were "opposites", and he never actually learned Trevor's name before he died.]]
