Dracula Brought to Life!
A Haunting Night In!
Dracula is the perfect reason to gather your friends for spooky season! This hosting guide has everything you need to pull off an evening to remember.
What Should We Do?
A Dracula night calls for more than just conversation. Here are some activity ideas suitable for any group size.
- Dear Diary (everyone writes part of a diary entry without reading the others, then passes it on)
- Vampire or Villager Game (Dracula-themed Mafia)
- Blood Bar (guess what a selection of red drinks are)
Pick your favorite or play them all!
Friendly Competition
Add a little friendly competition to the night with a game of chance, nerve, and fate that would have been familiar to the characters in Dracula: Roulette. Up the ante by adding themed wagers.
What to Eat
These Dracula-inspired bites will set the tone and keep every guest at your table properly fueled for an evening of shadows and intrigue.
