Many of the partiers were from the U-S, England and Ireland.
Arriving in fancy dress, the revellers were fortified with a local vodka
known as Dracula Spirits and protected with cloves of garlic.
They danced the night away at Dracula's eery Bran Castle in the Transylvanian
mountains.
Stoker was a theater manager when he wrote the book.
His story of Dracula was loosely based on the brutal life of Romanian Prince
Vlad (Tep-is) Tepes
