Last week, I went into the back of my bedroom closet (which haven't done in who knows how long) to put some shoes away on the top shelf. Couldn't do it because have a trunk right outside the door and a high stack of shoe boxes already in there. Was no way of getting the needed leverage on a twisted angle and I didn't feel like yanking things out so box on floor.

Of course, already have stuff sitting in there (because closet needs re-organizing plus cleaning out). While making space, see this black box with 'Dracula' in big white letters on it. Can't remember who, what, when, where and why. Pull it out, and SURPRISE Bela Lugosi Dracula Collector Model (memory kicks in) sister gave me a couple years ago.

Wound up in there because I don't have anyplace to display him. Poor guy will probably be joining my Sandman collectibles up in the attic.

Looking up Dracula (didn't remember how to spell 'Lugosi') in Wikipedia, saw for the first time a pic of Sir Henry Irving. He and Christopher Lee from the Hammer days could be cousins.
