Happy Halloween you all! I hope everyone is safe and recovering from Hurricane Sandy this morning!
In honor of Halloween, I thought it would be best to share with you one of the scariest places on earth, Count Dracula's Castle, aka, Castle Bran in Romania. I know there are scarier places out there, but this castle is definitely worth a visit.
1897, and Irish author, Bram Stoker, wrote the horror novel, Dracula about a vampire Count who resides in Castle Bran.
It is commonly thought that Stoker based his story off of the life of Vlad Tepes, or Vlad the Impaler. Vlad was a bloodthirsty ruler who applied the death penalty (by impaling no less) to pretty much anyone who got in his way. Vlad frequently used his father's name, Dracul, which means devil or dragon in Romania... Not sure which is more horrifying, Vlad or Dracula?
