My close friend and I visited Dracula's on it's reopening night (10/07/20) after COVID restrictions eased in QLD. We visited the Gold Coast specifically to go to Dracula's, where my friend hadn't been before. The last time I visited was just over 6 years ago.

It's just as I remembered it. Fun, electric atmosphere as you walk through the gates, and eclectic characters out front sheparding you in (it's not as bad as it sounds). These characters boast powerful personalities which can be a little off-putting if you're not used to the whole In Your Face business, but they'll lay off you in search of fresh meat as you wait in the queue to enter Drax's lair.

If you grab VIP tickets (the following paragraphs are from a VIP experience), you'll get to experience the Ghost Train, a small no-thrills coaster, as you head into the lounge. Be prepared for a scare, however.

Inside the lounge, you'll be totally immersed in Vampire-ness. A wonderfully themed room with caskets, a skeleton or two, and most importantly, a bar.

From there, you'll have your photo taken with the option to purchase it at the end of the show, and you'll be welcomed into the theatre.

An entree will be brought to you to devour as remaining guests find their seats, then your main. Be prepared for some heckling from the waiters if you're a slow eater like me.

It's with a full stomach that the show begins! Be prepared for two hours of belly laughs, inappropriate giggles and a nice side dose of blushing. This show is not for the prudish.

The high you feel after leaving the cabaret lasts well into the night as you retell your favourite moments to your converted vampire companions.

In conclusion: if you're visiting the Gold Coast put Dracula's on your To Do list, if you dare. A ghoulish night of fun and fantasy, you won't regret visiting Drax's and his friends.
