Recently, I finished a book. [Cue gasp]
The book was Dracula. It is about a vampire of the same name and a whole bunch of non-vampire douchebags who decided they needed to kill him after he took a long overseas voyage to London to make new friends (his lonely castle in Transylvania was only inhabited by three annoying whore-vampires that continuously made him fetch babies for them to eat, since they were too lazy to do it themselves).

Last year, we visited four creeptastic venues and this year we invaded five others (though only one merits inclusion here). Here is an account of three brave men who ventured out in search of the ultimate haunted house! (more…)
