Sexy Vampiress Proves That Salem Is More Than Just Witches

Salem, MA -- July 21, 2004 -- On October 29, 2004, real vampires
from around the globe will partake in an evening of erotic fear and
morbid lusts at The Vampires' Masquerade Ball, an international
gathering of the undead held annually in Salem, Massachusetts. The
Ball is hosted by the Countess Bathoria, who flies to Salem from her
lair in Montreal for an evening of captivating sin. The Lyceum Bar
and Grill, Salem's haunted restaurant, becomes the setting for
Countess Bathoria's ravenous descent upon the Witch City! The
Vampire's Masquerade Ball is part of Salem's Festival of the Dead,
an annual October event series that celebrates death's macabre
customs, heretical histories, and strange rituals. Tickets for the
ball and details of the event are available online at
www.festivalofthedead.com.

Indulgences of the evening include sumptuous hors d'oeuvres, blood
ceremonies, a cash bar for those for whom blood is not enough,
gothic music and dance, ritual flogging, and a cash prize for most
provocative costume.

The intoxicating sacrilege of the evening culminates in a ritual
seduction of the soul, where each guest is offered the choice: kneel
before the dark Countess and receive her Vampiric baptism, or
forever be mired in the mundane world of daylight.
