A group of Dracula enthusiast have broken a Guinness World Record in Whitby. The record for ‘the largest gathering of people dressed as vampires’ was broken by 1,369 people in fancy dress on May 26th. The English Heritage record attempt was part of the 125th anniversary of the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a novel inspired by the Whitby Abbey. This gathering was the first in a series of events planned, running until June 5th.
