Dracula's Castle is a music theme originally composed by Michiru Yamane for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Appropriately, it is heard in the first section of Dracula's Castle, the Entrance. It came to be considered to be Alucard's theme, which was later confirmed by Konami in Castlevania Judgment.
In the game Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition, once all 20 challenges are completed, a stage based off in Castlevania is unlocked as well as this theme, which plays during this stage.
Another theme, also named Dracula's Castle, was composed by Michiru Yamane for Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Not surprisingly, it's the background music that plays while exploring Dracula's Castle.

Trivia
- An electronic-style remix of this song exists as raw CD audio on the US release of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the PlayStation. It is preceded with a warning from Alucard not to play cut (track) #1, as it contains computer data. Amusingly, Alucard adds that the listener "probably won't listen to him anyway" before the song starts.
