People like to be scared. They love reading horror stories and watching horror movies. Some of the most famous horror stories were written by British writers. The first was published by Mary Shelley in 1818 - Frankenstein.Many films have featured Frankenstein over the years.
One of them put two great horror characters toghether when Frankenstein met Count Dracula.
Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula while he was sitting in Highgate Cemetery in North London. Sunlight fell on a crack in the lid of a tomb.
Dracula is so popular that visitors to London can go ona guided Dracula tour.
History:
The bedroom window was wide open and moonlight was shining into the room. Mina was on the balcony and a dark shape was leaning over her. It was Count Dracula!
Te vampire was not drinking Mina's blood. No, it was more terrible than that. Dracula was holding Mina's face to a long cut on his chest. He was making her drink his blood!
The vampire turned his head. His eyes burned with a terrible red light. Blood was dripping from his red lips and long white teeth. The vampire had already taken his meal of blood!
We do like to be frightened, don't we?
