Isn't Grandpa supposed to be the actual Count Dracula?

I just always assumed that since they panned the range of all monsters (including the invisible man and whatever Spot was supposed to be) that Lily was supposed to be the bride of Frankenstein's monster, and no a vampire (no fangs.) Just like Eddie is a werewolf and nothing similar to his parents..

you forget one thing grandpa was a vampire but he was also a mad scientist/magic user i just thought he came up with either a spell that the sun did them no harm or ultrasuper sun screen 1000!
repeat to yourself it's just a show you should really just relax. -

I always got the impression that the character was given to embellishment of his own tales, so as a kid I figured that while he probably is
a
Count Dracula, he probably never was
the
Count Dracula, but maybe a bumbling relative with a high opinion of himself.
It never bothered me about the daylight / sunshine. I just thought as they became nicer and less inwardly monstrous, they somehow got back some stuff which traditonal monsters lost, like reflections in mirrors, and the ability to enjoy the beach. -

Not all monsters lost that ability.
For instance, their relative "Uncle Gilbert" also known as "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" always had the ability to enjoy the beach.

Sunlight destroying vampires was made up by F.W. Murnau for Nosferatu in 1922. From then, it pretty much carried on, combined with the conventions established by Bram Stoker to make what is known as the classic movie vampire.

oh, really? If Grandpa is a so-called Vampire, why doesn't he go to bed at night? I saw an episode on my DVD player where Herman and Grandpa stay up @ 4:00 AM, i can't even do that! Wow!
vaampires sleep in the daytime.
so it makes perfect sense he would be up at night.
