I would totally do this! Yet another reason Halloween is the best!

Bran Castle, better known as Dracula's Castle, is a beautiful structure in Romania that is the former home of the famous 15th century villain Vlad The Impaler. Vlad was a real life prince, and was known basically for killing victims by impaling them with stakes. The story of Vlad later inspired the story of Dracula, which became a classic horror novel by author Bram Stoker in 1897.

According to WJHL, two people will get to spend the night in the castle on Halloween, and will be the first people to do so in nearly 70 years! This is a contest from Airbnb, and the winners will be treated to dinner (chicken paprikash, just like in the novel), and then left alone in the castle. They will even get to sleep in the red velvet coffins! (If they're too afraid to sleep in the coffins they can sleep in beds, but to me that would defeat the purpose of this awesome contest.) Entrants have to tell Airbnb what they would say to Dracula if they had the chance to meet him.

Perhaps the coolest part of this whole contest is that it's hosted by Dacre Stoker, who is a descendant of the author of the book. The rules for the winners are simply no garlic, and no silver jewelry. They also highly discourage mirror selfies!

This is one of the coolest contests I've ever heard of. If I could I wouldn't hesitate to go to Transylvania for a night in the creepiest, most legendary, castle ever! Would you do it?
