Friday the 13th was the night of the Gothic Vampire Party (or Gothik Vampyre Party if you're taking the mickey), and although it's an annual event that been going on seemingly forever (which probably means since the 90s sometime), there was one seemingly obvious thing that had never been done.
Dracula. Bela Lugosi's Dracula
It was hard work getting the costume together, and I still have beeswax in my hair, but I think it was well worth it in the end. I realized when I was putting it all on, that I was a pair of high waisted trousers short of perfection, but I don't think that bothered anybody else. Props to Kat for making the opera cape (and getting it exactly right).
I only lapsed into counting things 5 times. 5 glorious times! (cue thunder, lightening and maniacal laughter)
I spent much of the night staring at women's necks... (photo courtesy of Phil Anderson)

Here Dracula spots Twilight Fan...
... with somewhat predictable results.
... and even more photos
