After a fine breakfast in the Great Hall of Castle Szentmihalyi, our host told us in exciting detail how Molnar, the fearless vampire hunter, had lured Count Rafis (played in the film by Dwight Love) onto the ramparts of the castle, where the Count was destroyed by the rays of the sun.
All that remained on the ramparts were the Count’s cape, his long black jacket and trousers, which, although they smelled a little of the undead, Molnar had scooped up and returned to the fancy dress hire shop in the village. Curiously, the Count’s undergarments and shoes were never found.
A wonderfully humorous tale, Stephen. An actor named Love plays the vampire; jacket and trousers smelling a bit like the undead. Great imagery to tickle the funny bone! Loved this one.
A beautifully written piece that tapped into my emotions. I couldn’t really understand the clever ending. I couldn’t relate it to the story. If it was a film, yes.
If the famous vampire hunter had got his creature, why did he walk off? So, didn’t make sense. Or, a murder mystery weekend seemed to fit.
Sorry, over analysed before I got to the end of the story. So, read it to a couple of people and it made them laugh.
