Dracula's Guest (by Stephen Fry)

For tonight's countdown to Halloween post (although I already blogged one in French), I thought I'd do something lighter, since it is Monday and all. So here is a monologue of Stephen Fry which parodies Dracula, my favourite horror novel. Apparently, its official title is The Letter, but I have known it as Dracula's Guest and found it at complete random, when I was looking for a dramatization of the short story. Fry mocks with affection the tropes of Gothic horror and vampire fiction, including the epistolary narrative, and it is hilarious.

Trick or treats, the right and wrong ways

A quick video for tonight's countdown to Halloween post. I say this and I will probably post more. Because Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are hilarious and because this is so funny in the funny because it's true kind. Trick or treat is still very controversial in this country, at least for some people.
