BUCHAREST, Romania - Romania's former royal family put "Dracula's Castle" in Transylvania up for sale Monday, hoping to secure a buyer who will respect "the property and its history," a U.S.-based investment company said.

The Bran Castle, perched on a cliff near Brasov in mountainous central Romania, is a top tourist attraction because of its ties to Prince Vlad the Impaler, the warlord whose cruelty inspired Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, "Dracula."

Legend has it that Vlad, who earned his nickname because of the way he tortured his enemies, spent one night in the 1400s at the castle.

 

Full Story

 Yeah, I know it's a bit old, but I think it's pretty interesting. I wonder if some of Castlevania's fans would be willing to think about it.

*rummage through my wallet...i got a couple of $20's, alot of $1's i didnt use the other night, and a card for...ok, pretend we didnt see that.

that...must be like a bajillion dollars in romanian money, or did they go with Euro's?

i saw a thing on dracula's castle awhile back, it'd be cool i think. that or cinderellas castle.

I agree we should all chip in and buy it. There should be enough rooms and such for everyone to live there. :D

Then we could cosplay CV! :lol: God, it's starting to smell fruity in here......I might as well wear spandex and watch Richard Simmons. ROFLMAO!!!! :lol:

Seriously though, we should buy that sh!t. We can only dream.... "CUU is being brought to you from the bowels of the Lord Dracula's domicile, right now!".......

Why, throw a big costume party obviously. Of course, we all know what the castle owner's theme's going to be.

I like the idea of buying the Castle ourself and cosplaying as the CV characters that would be awesome :D, some of us could even volunteer to be the bosses defending certain section of the Castle :lol:. e1shw: Man, you must love wearing spandex you seem to have one on everyday :lol:. Gregg: You'll never going to let us forgive that sweet number :lol:, the official dance of the CCU Members :lol:. Hush: That was pretty awesome :lol: some stiff competition between this and the VanDamme Dance :lol:, btw the Green Man look like the mo-cap model in the Smackdown game that demostrated the moves to you. Dejiko: If only it was that easy I wish to be cool too :lol:.

@Serbine, that is an excellent idea.

Gregg could be Dracula up in the keep, due to him being the leader, and the rest of us could play various others and scare any visitors that might arrive. I call Death.

I'm not in the right shape to play Dracula. I vote Semi. I've seen his face, he could totally pull it off.*

So long as I get to play Death, it doesn't really matter.

Maybe we should get DJ to play Drac. XD
