Dracula's castle will have overnight guests on Halloween, marking the first time since 1948 that anyone has slept in the Transylvanian fortress.

Transylvania has a way of life lost in the rest of Europe. Just in time for Halloween, Darina Allen paid a visit.    

SO IT’S almost midnight.

The Habsburg family today said it wanted to sell a Transylvanian castle famous for its connections to the 15th century medieval ruler who inspired Dracula for €59.6m, to the local authorities, an attorney said.
