The most impressive aspect of Castle Dracula was its appearance from the outside.  Its facade was unique and very immense.  The structure featured a blood filled moat, a drawbridge leading up to the main door, turrets, red glowing windows, two knights guarding the entrance, two griffins supporting flaming oil lamps at the entrance, a cast iron skeleton dangling from one of the turrets wearing nothing but his boots, and a mechanical Dracula who would appear and give a chilling speech (for a couple seasons until it broke and was never fixed).  Also, the beginning of Bach's Toccata and Fugue could be heard outside the castle day and night.
