Dracula’s Dungeon Has Been Found In Turkey!
Archaeologists in Northern Turkey, who have been researching Tokat Castle, believe that they have found the dungeon that held Prince Vlad III, the inspiration for “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” for 12 years. The dungeon was found when secret tunnels were revealed during a restoration project.
“The castle is completely surrounded by secret tunnels,” Archaeologist Ibrahim Çetin states. “It is very mysterious. It is hard to estimate in which room Dracula was kept, but he was around here.”
Prince Vlad III, also known as Vlad The Impaler, was held hostage in this dungeon in the early 15th century after being captured by Ottoman Turks. He later reclaimed his throne and is said to have died in battle against the Turks in 1476.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
