I survived Dracula's castle -- and have the T-shirt to prove it too!

 

I survived Dracula's castle -- and have the T-shirt to prove it too!
 
     I was spozed to go to Dracula's castle on Halloween last month but got talked out of it.  "There's only one thing more scary than Dracula's castle on Halloween," said a local native of Transylvania.  What could possibly be more scary than the ghost of Vlad the Impaler or even Dracula himself?  "Tourists!"  The place is flooded with them on Halloween.  Thousands of them!  Freaky.

     Apparently the famous Dracula novel was written by Bram Stoker, an Irish historian who never went anywhere near Transylvania but only did research at the Trinity College library in Dublin.  But still.  Dracula's castle was totally scary.  Take my word for it.  
 
      There were lots of narrow winding staircases, lots of legendary horror stories about Vlad the Impaler who loved to have his henchmen impale Vlad's victims on poles and then leave them to die a slow agonizing death.  But at least Bibi the Butcher Netanyahu murders all his thousands of child victims in Gaza quickly and painlessly with his quadcopters and drones.

       Could Bibi the Butcher possibly be scarier than Count Dracula?  Duh, yeah.  It's not the Epstein Files that has Donald Trump cowering in terror!  It's Netanyahu's Mossad assassination team!  I'd face Vlad the Impaler any day rather than get hunted down and tortured by those bad boys.  
 
     I shouldn't have wasted a perfectly good Halloween trying to get fake-scared at Dracula's castle.  I should have just gone directly to Gaza (or the White House) if I had really wanted to get me some genuine hair-raising terror.

PS:  Truth be told, Dracula's castle wasn't all that scary.  In 1920, Queen Marie of Romania had set her interior decorators lose on it and then sprinkled it with holy water as well.  Dracula's castle was actually sort of cozy.  And I didn't have all that much trouble fighting off all the other tourists at the souvenir stands in order to score the ultimate spooky T-shirt either.
