Viagra hadn't been invented then, so men just went and killed time down the pub.

I'm not sure if anyone else had this, but I kept being bombarded by the same nicotine product advert every 15 minutes or so. It was a bit of a nuisance and meant I was several minutes behind by the end.🙁

Why didn't they just call it "Dracula has returned with a whip" and have done with it?

It's dark skies season! 🌌

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get out for a spot of stargazing. To make the most of the dark skies, why not get involved in the Cumbria Dark Skies Festival, 24 Oct - 21 Nov, and experience unique night-time adventures.👇

Lee just exudes pure evil very subtly, none of this Vampires are trendy misunderstood creatures nonsense you get in modern Vampire tales.

Many commentators have likened James Bernard's score to Bruckner's 9th symphony - both works with death at their epicentre.

Bernard also worked under Benjamin Britten for a while.
