Dracula's Castle, also known as the Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania is being taken over by Heineken-owed Desperados, offering consumers the chance to visit the gothic fortress virtually this Halloween.
The beer branded event will take over the entire castle on October 31st, and consumers are invited to attend virtually. British DJ Eats Everything will be playing a set for the viewers, who will be projected over the walls of the castle, making it feel like the room is full. To make things feel a little more normal, the event will be physically populated by a few actors dressed in Halloween attire. As a result, guests can watch as ghosts, goblins and monsters populate the dance floor.
