Dracula's accessory is a CAPE, which is a garment that is worn over the shoulders and fastened at the neck. It is usually made of a heavy fabric such as velvet or wool and is often lined with fur or satin. The CAPE has been associated with vampires since Bram Stoker's novel Dracula was published in 1897. In the novel, the vampire Count Dracula wears a long black CAPE to conceal his identity and to protect himself from the sun. The CAPE has become an iconic symbol of the vampire genre and is often used in films and television shows to represent vampires.
