Spook spotlight: Meet the Count

Throughout the month of October, we've decided to spotlight a different horror character featured in the Spirits on Sproat: Gallery of the Dead yard display. It's your way of getting better acquainted with our crew of ghouls, our menagerie of monsters, and our cadre of creatures.

These up-front-and-personal profiles provide a rare but in-depth look at some downright classic horror icons. Each has his or her own unique personality and style.

Case in point: Meet Count Dracula. He practically bleeds charisma. Consider his character traits:

• Nicknames:Vlad the Impaler; Nosferatu; a pain in the neck
• Voted in high school: Most likely to suck-seed in business
• Least favorite restaurant: Stake n� Shake 
• Once sued: Batman and Count Chocula for copyright infringement
