I'd like to say that Dracula (the person) was worse than Pol Pot.
You mean the real life Dracula, Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia)? At least some of what he did got embelished, but he reportedly impaled tens of thousands of people. Not just his enemies from foreign countries mind you, but regular criminals and political rivals as well. Again though, how much of this is true is hard to quantify.
He doesn't seem to compare to anyone else mentioned in this topic though. In fact, he is known for his fierce resistance against the Ottoman Empire which made him a folk hero in Romania/Christian circles, although in other parts of Europe (mostly countries west of Romania), he is more infamous for his cruelty.
