The Dracula Festival sounds like it might have been a hoot and a half. At least from a distance. Lara Parker and KLS attended and were on a panel with a couple of the Hammer actresses. It was either Ingrid Pitt or Yutte Stensgaard who told them that I'm sure that it was a lovely little show that you were on but I never heard of it.
Then there was an interpretive dance by someone who called herself Lady Vlad. She took herself extremely seriously and apparently made Adriana Pena look like Margot Fonteyn. The routine that she performed was a rehash of the Underdog routine that was a staple of costume contests at conventions for several years. I think she also appeared on The Howard Stern TV show.
Also, the convention promoters offered free admission to the Dracula Festival, as well as free airfare and hotel for presenting a skit. It sounded too good to be true, so I passed. While they did provide free admission, reimbursement of travel expenses never came through. I don't know if they did another Dracula event after that. I would hope not.
