That night as we drove back home, Dvorak's cello concerto 3rd movement was playing on tape. I remembered that night very well, the smell of the leather seats, the occasional flashes of the orange street lights that shone into the car, and the sound of the cello which had a peculiar character of 'dracula' in it. Listen to it and tell me if it sounds like Dracula's entry theme song!

Dvorak and Dracula
It was my most memorable Halloween, when I was around 6. My family and I were at a family friend's house with loads of other kids, trick or treating parents at their tables with a plastic pumpkin head. Then it was time for a movie, we were told that it was a very funny one - it was the spoof movie of Bram Stroker's Dracula. But as I sat down with the other kids, the horror just crept up to me eventhough I've seen Dracula hit his head on the chandelier as he awoke from his coffin. I simply walked out of the room, I didn't dare watch the rest of it (the movie cost me many fearful nights, and had numerous nightmares for weeks!!!).
