"A Habsburg heir is hoping someone will take a bite of his offer Monday to sell "Dracula's Castle" in Transylvania. The medieval 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 the ruthless Vlad — who earned his nickname because of the way he tortured his enemies — spent one night in the 1400s at the castle...
In May 2006, the castle was returned to Princess Ileana's son, New York architect Archduke Dominic Habsburg. He pledged to keep it open as a museum until 2009. Habsburg, 69, offered to sell the castle last year to local authorities for $80 million, but the offer was rejected.
On Monday, he put the castle up for sale "to the right purchaser under the right circumstances," said Michael Gardner, chief executive of Baytree Capital, the company representing Habsburg... He predicted the castle would sell for more than $135 million but added that Habsburg will only sell it to a buyer "who will treat the property and its history with appropriate respect.""
135 million dollars is a small price to pay for my love, don't you think? And just think of the parties I could have there! A kegger is like 150% classier if held in Dracula's castle!

This sounds like the perfect set up for a horror movie. Amy Acker, Caroline Dhavernas, shirtless Gyllenhaal, you, Lizzy Caplan, and Lohan go to Dracula's castle.
Lohan dies first. Then the three remaining girls become Dracula's brides and Jake and I are locked in a dilapidated boudoir and the room is flooded with pheromones and we knock this movie's rating up to an NC-17.
Well...then we need more vamp bait. Paris Hilton, Nicolas Cage, Dina lohan, The entire cast of High School Musical...
And the vampire is played by Matthew Broderick, or maybe Queen Latifah. And he's a vegetarian. But blood's not meat! Muahahaha!
