TIHUTA PASS, Romania
(AP) — Traveler, beware. Bats
and wolves adorn the walls of
these Transylvanian lodgings,
and the hotel cook relaxes in a
coffin.
Its real name is the Hotel Ti-
huta, but guests at the $2-million
mountaintop extravaganza
know it as “Hotel Dracula.”
White-gloved waitresses serve
Polish vodka to local shepherds,
and the concierge’s desk is on
the second floor in a tower.
Radu Varareanu, the cook, is
the resident vampire. He springs
from a coffin to terrify tourists
in the basement “torture
chamber.” The thrill is gone for
Varareanu, who says he’s done
the trick so often he feels like
falling asleep during the wait in
the coffin.
Set in the Carpathian Moun-
tains 31 miles south of the Soviet
border, the hotel resembles a
medieval stronghold. It guards a
3,600-foot pass where crosswinds
swirl among craggy peaks —
and into the lobby.
Seven years in the building,
the hotel opened last year, and
business was not encouraging.
"The hotel is operating up to 70
percent" eapacity. At the be-
ginning it was even worse,” said
loan Pasca, administrator of the
70-room, thr&e-story hotel.
"When construction was started
in 1976, Romania was hoping to
attract thousands of Western
tourists to visit the homeland of
, the legendary vampire. Bram
Stoker’s 1897 novel is set in these

With Carrier's reputation for dependability and value, it's
only natural to think that a Carrier furnace would cost more.
But as you can see, Gprrier costs no more than a Brand X fur-
nace.
You need an Incentive to buy now since the last thing on
your mind is your furnace. But when you buy now, you'll help
the workload that always increases dramatically when
the first cold snap hits.
So buy now before prices go up and the temperature goes
down!

mountains, but don’t count on
finding it in local bookstores:
The novel is banned in Ro-
mania, aS~are Dracula fiifeis, on
grounds they portray a distorted
image of.the real “Dracula,” the
15th-century ruler Vlad the Im-
paler
impaled his Turkish enemies on
stakes.
Vlad is a national hero in a
country that takes its history
and traditions seriously, and of-
ficials are reluctant to link him
with the popular Western image
of the bloodsucking count.
Michael Lassel, who worked
on the wall decorations, said
plans to name the establishment
Hotel Dracula had been vetoed
by the authorities. But other
cliches are encouraged.
“The Dracula issue offers ev-
erybody a loophole of a dream,”
said Lassel.
Visitors may spend the night
in a coffin if they want. They can
also order “Elixir Dracula,” a
heady snifter of plum brandy.
The portrait of a human vam-
pire adorns a wall of the cellar
where Varareanu’s coffin lies, lit
dimly by two flickering candles.
The hotel is looking for 12 human
skulls as further decoration.
Few Romanians know of the
place, because it is new and out
of the way, located in a virgin
forest on the road linking Tran-
sylvania and the northern pro-
vince of Bukovina.
Apart from the “coffin show”
there is little local entertain-
ment.

“But I think that in two or
three years the place will be
crammed,” Pasca said.
“This place lacks a motion pic-
ture room to show vampire
movies,” said Lassel. “But I
doubt they’ll agree to that.”
