Blood Banquet

I have a lot of Blood Banquet pictures to share sometime soon (a full post perhaps?), but I'll toss out two now as teasers.
The man, the myth, the legend: Count Vlad.
These two are absolutely fantastic. There's an awesome dynamic they have going between the two of them that is captured perfectly by this picture.
I'm still not sure you people realize how much I adore Blood Banquet. I'd go back to the park just for this.

I also agree with PK and Zachary. Everything about the banquet was something the park has needed for a very long time.
The food, atmosphere, and entertainment was superb and a great value.
I adore the actor who plays Count Vlad. When he hopped over someone's dropped cupcake and said "Clean up on aisle 5!" I pretty much lost it.
I've added photos on the Howl-O-Scream album here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.231640216989498.1073741846.149401725213348&type=3 Scroll to the bottom.

Yes, these two were awesome, they didn't get much attention but they had this great thing going on between the two of them. One of them even passed us before hand and was still in character for it. THIS is the charm that the park needs but has been struggling to maintain.
Now I'm just playing devil's advocate here...
...but did Illuminights really set a bar?
I realize that not everything will appeal to everybody, but to me, this is the epitome of Scott Gasparich cheese that turns me right off.
:dodgy:

Count Vlad so happy to hear nerds love Feast. Vlad hope you pay again.

I can see that, some aspects of the act did fall fall on it's face. Scott does have a certain style and while a majority of the time it's pretty bad, when he hits something, it can be fantastic. This does have a lot of charm put into it, more so than any thing else in this event. And yes, I fully admit just how bad the park has gotten when something like this is the best thing the park has to offer for the event.
I don't think this has been mentioned, but the inside if the building is probably the best decorated part, it looks fantastic.
I agree too Zachary I did It on Saturday was well worth the money, the food is good, the atmosphere, and of course Vlad. I got really tickled that my fave violin player was there and she game right up to or table. I m anticipating on doing it again, soon as I get pics from my friend I will post. To bad that we all couldn't do it together for an honor for the BGWFANS page
Can park vistors pay in the park to eat at the Blood Banquet or do you have to buy tickets online ahead of time?
You can do either, but people who have reservations and get there at 4:30 get more of a show.
I would have appreciated knowing when the shows start. it looked to start every hour and run for about half an hour or so. The daughter cracked me up. We were getting our plates and she ran up to us and asked us if we play Fruit Bat on the phone, and told us that Angry Bats was so old.
The outfits are awesome. And obviously you guys were not paying attention. It's not Count Vlad.
It's Count Vladtastic!
Oh yea, definitely all cheese, but I enjoy bad jokes.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, Blood Banquet is horribly cheesy, but, like last year's Fiends and Dig it Up, it's a charming cheesy.
Yes, but the actors interact with the guests (pretty well, I might add) a lot aside from the show which adds a lot to the experience.

That is exactly why someone like me should never attend something like this. I like that wall between performers and the audience. Plus, I hate being the center of attention without a dress rehearsal. I tried to arrange my wedding so no one would notice me.
That's fair, I totally understand why somebody wouldn't want to do that. They're never too pushy about it though and they don't really have the guests perform in front of everybody.
Yeah, they never pull people up from their seats or anything- it's all very casual and laid back.
But how did you guys feel about all of the onlookers watching you eat? I might feel a little uncomfortable about that. While I was watching some of the show, I could feel people thinking, "Why is that big guy leering at us?"
EDIT:
I was watching the show as a non-diner; meaning I was just one of the onlookers outside the fence.

i just sat away from the fence and faced the hotel.

Oh man. Even worse. I can't eat at buffets at all, because of this. That scene from Gone With the Wind just echos through my mind.
