Halloween in Transylvania

  • Sep. 29th, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Now, as some of you already know, October 31 in Transylvania is the last place on earth you should be in. We are aware that 9 out of 10 Americans do not take Transylvania for real (they believe it is some Disneyland, Utopia or Shambala), but that is not our problem.

The Count wants to attend the 2008 Halloween (the one organized by his Transylvanian Society of Dracula) in the walled town of Sighisoara, and while the wolves will not dare sneak within the walls, the other creatures will, and they are many.

Sighisoara, in the middle of Transylvania, Romania, lies at an intersection of mythological, mythic and historic power-lines of dracularian roots. Sure, Sighisoara is also the best-preserved 15 century-walled town in Europe, the birth-place of Prince Vlad the Impaler-Dracula, the site of many witch-trials, of the school attended by Herman Oberth, inventor of the first modern rockets and developer of the Apollo program, a.s.o. Please add those unfortunate graduates of the Scholomance school who misused their powers and turned themselves into donkeys, rodents, dolphins or apes (the vampire-police are still looking for them).

So, what do you think? Sighisoara is a small walled-town – first come, first served. And, as usual, please dare candidate for “Miss Transylvania”, dear ladies, knowing you’ll be crowned “Countess Dracula” if you win, to be the pair of the Count for one year.
