Where does it get Dracula was 412 from? The book never gives a specific age. If we go by Vlad III, 412 years from his birth would place the book in 1843. The book is actually most likely set in 1893 (based on how dates line up), and definitely in the 1890s.

I don't think Sauron's purported age is correct either, not a Tolkien geek but iirc it's more in the 5000 ballpark. So I assume all numbers in this post are incorrect and exist solely for comedic effect.

Not sure about Cthulhu either, and I've read all Lovecraft.

Some of it is. Like any genre there's good and bad incosmic horror
