Dead I am the one, exterminating son
Vlad III, commonly known as Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș) or Vlad Dracula; 1428/31 – 1476/77) He was the second son of Vlad Dracul, who became the ruler of Wallachia in 1436.

Slippin' through the trees, stranglin' the breeze Dead I am the sky, watchin' angels cry While they slowly turn, conquering the worm
While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, “Man,” And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.

«The Conqueror Worm (Witchfinder General) and She-Devils On Wheels first hit Chicagoland on July 5, 1968. Frustrated with recent exhibitions of his films, local filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis personally handled this regional distribution of She-Devils with great success—according to his account.»

The Conqueror Worm - Edgar Allan Poe
Lo! ’t is a gala night
  Within the lonesome latter years!  
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
  In veils, and drowned in tears,  
Sit in a theatre, to see
  A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully  
  The music of the spheres.
Mimes, in the form of God on high,  
  Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly—
  Mere puppets they, who come and go  
At bidding of vast formless things
  That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
  Invisible Wo!
That motley drama—oh, be sure  
  It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore  
  By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in  
  To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,  
  And Horror the soul of the plot.
But see, amid the mimic rout,
  A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out  
  The scenic solitude!
It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs  
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
  In human gore imbued.
Out—out are the lights—out all!  
  And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
  Comes down with the rush of a storm,  
While the angels, all pallid and wan,  
  Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, “Man,”  
  And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.
