Elegance at Halloween -- Vampire Castle

vampire castle at night

This vampire castle has been a part of my imagination for almost two years now. It's finally here for your dark vampire hearts for the 2015 Halloween season! This Gothic castle looks foreboding on the outside, but the interior boasts of luscious fabrics, Gothic red marble flooring, marble grand staircase, the first floor has crown molding set in the ceiling in Gothic purple. It has matching gold and purple walls, and Gothic crushed velvet drapes. The drapes must be opened with a click and they do not automatically close, they must be clicked again to close. This is the same for the second-floor curtains too. The flooring is Gothic red marble and it's on the first and second floors. There is a matching Gothic chandelier on the first and second floors featuring Gothic purple candles.

On the second floor, the wallpaper is the same color on the second floor, but without the gold trim. The color scheme on this floor is Gothic blue. As soon as you walk up the grand staircase, you see the beautiful marble fireplace. It's so big that you can fall (walk) into the fire and still be able to stand up straight. The fireplace has four blood-red marble columns set against white marble. The fire blazes within the fire grate. Above the fireplace is a piece of artwork this is in the shape of an oval and features skeleton cameo, which randomly switches colors. The big feature on this floor is the grand artwork that can be viewed after climbing up the grand staircase as it's right above that on the second floor. This huge piece of artwork features over 50 works of art featuring, Gothic vampire castles, haunted woods, cemeteries, and one sunrise. The artwork cycles on a random basis.The ceiling is set with crown molding and around the molding pieces it is painted Gothic blue. The curtains on this floor are Gothic blue as well.

Space within the rooms on the first and second floor allows our camera angles to be within the walls without zooming in or using mouse look. The opposite of the grand artwork are the balcony doors, they match the entrance hall doors and a heavy Gothic wood doors with iron bands. These doors do not open together, but rather one at a time. They are on a 15-second delay and will automatically shut. If you accidentally click them so that they close on your command, then the door stay opens rather than closes. If this should happen and you're comfortable with editing the doors, use the rotation command on the edit menu until the door is back opening in the correct direction.

roof and balcony views

This is the same for the entrance doors. From the second floor, you can walk out onto the balcony to enjoy your view into your neighbor's yards (shhhh)! If you want you can teleport to the roof, the teleport is set in the gargoyle on the right of the balcony doors, right click and choose sit here. It will put you on the roof. The gargoyle on the roof will return you to the second floor. The balcony wraps all the around the second floor, go out only if it's at night.

The moat for the castle is a pond of molten lava. It flows back to

the rear gate toward the seething volcano that rumbles underneath your home. The castle itself is up on columns so that it won't burn up your home. There are two gates that open and close automatically, click to open and you're treated with a horrific banging as it opens and closes. Both the front and back gates are guarded by gargoyles, spiders run over the front of the arch and

views of the exterior of castle

lions are in the lower half of the arch as if stuck there by magic. The turrets on the second floor and roof match. They are made from blocks of burnt cement. There are round towers in each of the four corners of the castle. This imposing castle will be the talk of the neighborhood and enhance your standing within your community. This castle is set in a rezzer so that it's easy set up and take down. You can move your castle into position using the rezzer box. It's very important to read the instructions in the notecard that is in the packaging box. The castle rezzer is inside of this DO NOT open and copy contents of the rezzer box into your inventory. There is hover text on the rezzer box to remind you to click not open the box. The footprint for this castle is less than 30 x 30 square feet. The build is 250 prim. It's a mix of mesh, sculpt and prims. All the mesh prim equals to 1 prim regardless of what the original mesh says, thanks to a new nifty script I

free with the purchase of the castle

 have! So you actually have 250 prims, but what lovely prims they are! The build is yes copy, no mod, no transfer.

To finish off the fantastic build the vampire castle comes with fantastic Gothic furniture. My favorite one is the casket couch, which is a casket cut in half covered with velvet fabrics and beautiful aluminum legs and backing. This couch comes in three different colors Gothic purple, red, and blue. The castle comes with the Gothic purple casket couch.

vampire throne style 2

It comes with the vampire throne style 2. This is a leather and gold bound throne, with a Gothic red, head, and seat cushion. It's  twin is the vampire throne style 1, which is on the SLX for purchase. The chair has three different sits, relaxed, stern, and informal. The stern sit could also be called formal. The chair fits a pocket avatar of .38th of a meter tall.

The next set of couches are coffin couches with a coffee table. On the coffee table, there is a skeleton bursting from the coffin. They are bound in black and gold studded leather on the back and lower sides with Gothic red for the back and seat cushions. The couches are held together with and aluminum bands. These couches have three sits, to access, click on the back, seat, and lower coffin underneath the seat, (It's the part that has

The last couch that comes with this build is a circular couch that matches the other couches the lower part of the couch is bound int black and gold studded leather. The seat cushion is Gothic purple with luxurious green. blue, red, and purple velvet cushions around the back of the couch. There are four sits in this couch. One in the purple and one in each of the green toss pillows. The last one is kneeling on the big couch at the front of the couch. (Click the purple colored cushion to access this sit.) 

The last free item is a matching amethyst gemstone casket. This casket has a velvet blanket, pillow,

Vampire Mansion & Mausoleum Style 2

mausoleum style 2

Happy Halloween! I hope that you're day is filled with spooky, ghoulish surprise and fun. I'm closing out the 2015 Halloween Season with a Vampire Mansion and Mausoleum Style 2. The only difference between my two vampire mansions are the mausoleums. This mausoleum is styled after the fireplace inside of the mansion (second floor). The mausoleum has Gothic red pillars, red trim around the roof, white marbled cement bricks, and the benches, which sit inside have mini Gothic red columns connecting the seat with the base of the benches.

bench sits

Vampires should always have options in how they would like to live; therefore, I have made a mansion with a graveyard in the back of the property. The main building the cemetery is a mausoleum that is ornate on the outside and simply elegant on the inside with matching benches. The colors of the mausoleum is the same as the fireplace inside of the castle. The doors are set to auto-close at 10 seconds--don't click to close the doors otherwise they will be out of whack and you'll have to re-rez the build.

The mausoleum is style two and sits in a field of blood red tulips, there are matching blood red spider trees sitting in the four corners of the cemetery with spiders hanging from the tree trunk and spewing from the base of the trees. The spiders in the spider web trees make a skittering sound and to turn on/off click. There are trick gravestones with empty graves sitting in the cemetery until your unsuspecting guest clicks on the grave stone and suddenly they are dead and your grave is filled. (The grave stones captures the profile picture of your friends that click on the stone.) 

side view from left

There are urns of fire on all of the corners of the fences touch the urns to turn off, but to turn back on, click on the inside of the empty urn. The torches on the front of the mausoleum and on the first and second story of the mansion are click on and off to turn on and off the fire. 

There are gargoyles at different places and some of them allow you to teleport from the ground to the roof (right of the front doors), from the front to the back (left of the front doors), from the graveyard to the front, by touch the wall on the left of the bridge that connects the graveyard to the mansion. The gargoyle on the right of the balcony doors on the roof, allows you to teleport to the first floor of the mansion, which is on the right of the front doors as you look at the mansion. 

mausoleum style 2

At the front doors, are urns fills with blood that emanate a green fog. These urns are also in the back of the mansion just before walking onto the bridge. The fog moves with the wind. 

The mausoleum has a blood-red cross at the top, the doors open after a 10-second wait will close automatically. The inset on the doors are the same blood-red as the pillars and trim on the roof. You can walk around inside the crypt. This elegant crypt matches the Gothic marble flooring inside of the mansion as well as the balconies. The battlements around the cemetery match those found around the roof, first and second floors.

Gala Opening of the House of Lords BDSM Club

The House of Lords BDSM Club owned by Master Papo Lungu is officially opening on Thursday, July 3 from 5-7 p.m., SLT it is an open invitation to anyone interested in a gothic BDSM Club that is situated on the Isle of Atlantis, which is a volatile volcano in the middle mountain on this little Isle.

The Club features house music when the DJ's are not streaming rock and roll or whatever is requested by our guests and is located on the main floor of the House of Lords Castle. In the gallery above the dance floor is a shopping area so you can shop and dance at the same time!

The dungeons are on the lowest level accessible by stairs or teleporter. The dungeons are separated into two, one being the main play area where not so hard core toys are kept. The other area is where the harder core BDSM toys are stored, separated by a hidden wall. The artwork is on loan from Elven Enchantment Museum and Art Gallery.

On the third floor of the Castle is where the themed rooms are located. We have an Egyptian room that features a bed, throne, and guest chairs made by Exquisite Furnishings. The next room over is the Vampire room featuring the gothic artwork of Outlaw Trading Company also on loan from the Museum.

Outside of these rooms, is a cuddle nook that has contemporary gothic furniture and more vampire artwork. There are four towers on this castle that have been converted into private dance and cuddle areas.

Outside of the castle is the courtyard that seems to have a storm brewing but not quite raining on our parade, featuring 18 stalls for rent by vendors along with the new and improved home of Exquisite Furnishings. If you walk out the courtyard gates, which squeek on their rusty hinges you may observe the river of lava flowing down the mountain and into the sea. On one side is Anarchy Weapons and across the bridge is our sandbox which allows for battle and building all items are returned in five minutes, but this allows you to experiment with the new weapons you just purchased at the store or you can teleport in friends and have a battle royal.

As with many Clubs there are rules, however Master Lungu has only one: respect the collar and those who wear them and have lots of fun at the Club.

Vampire Mansion and Mausoleum -- Style 1

Vampires should always have options in how they would like to live; therefore, I have made a castle with a graveyard in the back of the property. The main building the cemetery is a mausoleum that is plain on the outside but has a coffin on a three-tiered bier on the inside. The walls are decorated after Dagon whose half rotten body hangs from the wall. There are mysterious gears on the walls come from another age.

Graveyard: There are trick gravestones in the cemetery. There are no bodies in the graves, until your

guests activate the headstones and suddenly they're dead. What happens is that the headstone captures your guests profile picture and put it up on the gravestone. Fog emanates from the graves some is thick, soupy fog, but some have faces in them. There are blood-red spiderweb trees in the four corners of the graveyard. They have big and small spiders sitting in the trees. The spiders make a chittering noise and explode from the tree and fly away on the wind. To turn off the chittering touch the trees on/off. The big feature of the graveyard is the mausoleum. This sits in the back center of the cemetery. The door is the shape of a coffin. To open, click, enter, and it closes automatically. Inside is a coffin set on a three tier steps. The interior features scenes from Dagon's Temple. A sacrifice hangs from the back wall above the coffin. There are odd gears on the side walls.
