Without warning, the thick fog that had dissapated in the graveyard begins to swirl back in around your feet as you come into the castle's courtyard...
You notice that this fog, however, has a weird luminous glow to it. Sporadic flashes of lightning still lance the angry clouds above as thunder pounds the courtyard. A light drizzle begins to fall, drops clinging your best black velvet coat. Ahead, torch flames flutter by the main door ahead of you, illuminating the gargoyle there...

Knowing that your favorite velvet will soon be soaked, you raise your fist to rap on the door, but something stops you... a plaque on the door...
No!!!

Not this!!!

No way!!!!

You say...

It cannot be!!!

Little frightens a goth like you, but the words on the door strike terror into even your hardened heart...

You would rather be at an insurance sales convention...

at a Niel Diamond concert...

Anywhere but standing at the front door of....




Just as you are considering turning away, despite the fact that your eyeliner is bleeding down your face, the door swings open with a horrible grating creak...

Listen...

Cobwebs hang from dust covered columns, illuminated by torches fluttering in iron sconces. The dust and webs cast strange moving shadows across the walls. Cracked and faded frescoes are covered by centuries of decay...
"Very homey!" you muse to yourself, taking in your surroundings.
Suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you see movement...



"Oh please!!!" you say... "That 2-bit haunted house stuff doesn't scare me... you will have to do better than that..."

The floating objects slowly bob away, leaving you alone once more.
Stepping forward, you notice a large rectangular shape on the floor in the center of the hall. A few steps more, and you find yourself looking down at a large coffin...

"Cool!" You think to yourself... "maybe it is a fine vamp who will make me into one!!!" As you stand there wishing that you could find a bathroom to touch up your black lipstick before meeting this fine vamp, you notice the lid of the coffin begin to move, creaking violently as it opens. You take a step forward so as to peer in.

The lid flies back, slamming open, and you look down....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
A horrible shriek escapes you lips...

It is the most terrifiying thing you have ever seen in your life... the world begins to spin about you, you gasp for air, but it is no use... the thing you have seen in the coffin has sucked out your sanity... you embrace the impending numbness as you slump to the ground, a mindless vegetable....


SEE THE ***CREATURE*** IF YOU DARE!!!
