As the Full Moon leaves us and with a week to go until the New Moon, when darkness covers London and spirits arise for the Bloodlust Ball – a very special occasion for the wicked.... The Bloodlust Ball VI takes place this year in a magnificent gothic church, built in 1825, One Mayfair. The church is just south from Oxford Street, in the heart of London. There are many alcoves and secret places for vampires to hide as well as a beautiful courtyard. The evening is full of horror, entertainment, exclusive moments and beautiful food to feast on.
As the Darkness Falls on the Castle of Dracula, Beware of the Horrors Awaiting You...
Prince Vlad III Dracula the Impaler, Countess Carmilla Karnstein, Count Orlok Nosferatu and Countess Elizabeth Báthory
Cordially invite you to the 6th Annual BLOODLUST BALL On Friday 28th of October 2011 at One Mayfair Church in London.

Countess Carmilla Karnstein
Carmilla is a vampire who preys on young women, hoping to satiate her thirst and create eternal lovers for herself. "You are mine, you shall be mine, and you and I are one forever!”
Count Orlok Nosferatu
A vampire from the Carpathian Mountains in Wisborg, Germany. He lives in a vast castle high in the mountains, no one who has been there has ever come back. Orlok resembles something between a rat and a spider. He sleeps in soil infected with the Black Death and brings plague and disease with him. He is followed everywhere by rats.
Countess Elizabeth Báthory (1560 –1614)
A Hungarian countess. She is the most prolific serial killer in history and is remembered as the "Blood Countess". Countess tortured and killed over 600 girls and young women. She would fill a bathtub with the blood of her virgin female victims, then soak in it to retain her youth. She remains bricked in to the wall in her castle. Blood Countess still haunts after darkness falls, her thirst for blood is insatiable. Virgins- beware!
