A 'vampire' couple are still coming back down to earth after helping achieve a new world record in a clifftop Dracula Spectacular.
Faye Allison and partner John Ward, from Blackhall Mill in Gateshead, were among 1,369 enthusiasts who travelled to Whitby Abbey in Yorkshire for English Heritage’s bid create the record for the biggest number of vampires gathered in one spot. The event was to mark the day that Bram Stoker’s Dracula was first published 125 years ago in 1897.
The previous record was set on September 30 2011 when 1,039 people dressed as vampires attended an event organised by theme park Kings Dominion in Virginia in the United States.
