Alucard

Alucard is an ananym of the name Dracula . This name gimmick was first used in the US film Son of Dracula ( 1943 ) by Robert Siodmak , which is set in the southern states and in which the aristocratic bloodsucker Anthony Alucard is after the beautiful daughter of a plantation owner. Since then, this name twist has been picked up again and again (e.g. in the Japanese anime / manga Hellsing and in the Japanese video game series Castlevania , as the song title of the British progressive rock band Gentle Giant , or in horror films, e.g. at the British Hammer Studios , as well as the character of the children's book author Willis Hall).
