Spend Halloween @ Dracula’s Castle!

Wanna spend Halloween where it all started?? What would you say to Dracula if you could meet with him face-to-face? That’s the question you have to answer if you want to have a shot at winning Airbnb’s contest. One winner will fly to Romania to spend Halloween night in Dracula’s castle in Transylvania.

Bran Castle is the real name of the castle and it belonged to Vlad the Impaler from the 15th century . . . he was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.

No one has spent a night in the castle since 1948, but it’s a HUGE tourist attraction that gets more than 630,000 visitors a year.

If you want a shot at staying there, you just have to answer this question: “What would you say to Dracula if you were face-to-face with him?”  And you have to do it in 550 characters or less.

Airbnb will pick one winner and fly you and a guest to Romania to spend Halloween night in the castle . . . where you can sleep in velvet coffins.

Deadline to enter is Ocotber 26th, 2016. Find all the details here https://www.airbnb.com/night-at/dracula
