Dear Vampire fans, Halloween enthusiasts and Transylvania lovers.

It is a pleasure for Transylvania Live, experts in Transylvania, to invite you to a special

party: Halloween Party in Transylvania with Vlad the Impaler!

Transylvania, Romania: The Halloween Party is without a doubt one of the most
remarkable events anyone could experience in Transylvania. The flavour of the
Transylvanian cuisine mingled with the melodious folk songs, unique events and
unexpected surprises will prove that every legend has a little bit of truth in it!

“Transylvania Live company appears to be one of the few that understands the Western
market for Dracula. Transylvania Live’s product appears to be very innovative! For
many Romanians Dracula means Vlad Tepes but for people from the UK, America etc it
means of course the vampire Dracula. I agree with those people who say that Dracula is
a way to get foreign tourists into Romania creating an opportunity to show them all the
other things the country can offer’ said professor Duncan Light from Liverpool Hope
University

The guest’s are welcomed with a traditional Romanian drink prepared especially for
the cold season – a shot of Romanian “water of fire” boiled with pepper will increase the
interest in the delicious mouth-watering traditional dishes prepared for the Halloween
party. The Master of Ceremony, one of Dracula’s many subjects, will introduce the guests
to the programme of the evening making sure every one will meet his fate!

The first event you’ll enjoy is performed by the Transylvanian Knights. The “Witch
Trial” will reveal the medieval rituals of judgment for a witch testing the courage of the
guests. Should anyone dare to handle the sword and fight along with the knights to save
the damned woman, will be anointed as a knight.

There can be no Halloween Party without Dracula; the Count will simply not tolerate
such a thing! His majesty will join you and even make a few confessions about his
wedding. “Dracula’s Wedding” is a show set on stage by a professional band of actors.
This is a non verbal performance. It’s very easy to understand that Dracula did not need
words to charm a girl. The first time they met he appeared as a respectable noble, the
second meeting revealed his true dark nature… Find out if the story has a happy ending.

Since we’re all very familiar with dramas, we’ll then focus on having a fabulous time,
and water better way to do this than dancing! A band of folk singers performing live at
traditional Romanian instruments will introduce the guests to the gypsy rhythm as well as
the melodious and cheerful Romanian songs. The traditional “Scarf dance” will bring
everyone to the dancing floor!
 Close to midnight will all step out to watch the moon and count down the minutes to 12
o’clock, a time of powerful magic when all bad wishes come true! (let’s just say that your
neighbours’ cat won’t bother you anymore). A glass of champagne and the traditional
Rest in Peace song will delight us afterwards.

The culinary event of the evening is the Halloween cake, shaped as a coffin and
delicious as fresh blood. This might just be the first coffin you have tried and you will
like it!

The Count’s witch will be at your disposal. She’ll open her office for you to be able to
purchase After Life Insurances (something will know for sure you will use!)

The Master of Ceremony will reword the ones who really did their best for the
Halloween Costumes! The Best Female and Male Costumes will receive awards
(Romanian genuine handcrafts to remember you of this incredible night). The Count has
also a gift prepared for the Best Howl at the Moon (after a glass of strong red wine boiled
with cinnamon you won’t lack courage or strength!)

The DJ will then take over the party! Devilish dancing to the dawn. The last person
standing will receive a bottle of wine courtesy of the house and Romanian tips on how to
handle the hang over.

If you want to learn the truth, be charmed by the legend and enjoy the best Halloween
party ever, join us along narrow winding roads, deep in the Carpathians, into the heart of
Transylvania for a fascinating holiday! To read a more detailed presentation please visit
