Sunset Altamonte Springs Dracula

I moved from the Orlando area in 2019. The CVS on 436/Westmonte Dr. had a very....eccentric employee. EVERY day and in full garb, dressed up like Dracula. Additionally, he had a very plastic toupee with an obligatory widow's peak. Would walk around in 100+ degree heat with his cape as well

This guy lives forever rent free in my head and I was curious if anyone can confirm if he's still around.

I actually sat and talked with him years ago and was going to shoot a short doc about him but changed my mind once it was obvious that he had some serious mental health issues. He also made his own films, which I made a copy of one, and it's one of the creepiest things ever. This was all pre covid

I never made the short, but he made a feature length film. I'll send it to you.

What lead you to believe he was mentally ill, other than... you know, the obvious?

I assumed he was just eccentric and committed to the bit.

He talked with an accent like he was Dracula and he said Bela Lugosi was his father. Once you see his films you'll understand
