Me and DraculaMe and Dracula? I guess I've always had a fascination for the supernatural and I've enjoyed since childhood the Hammer Films that featured Christopher Lee (to my mind the finest movie Dracula ever). It was an added bonus to find that Dracula, erm, lived near to my home! Listen to 'Me and Dracula' So, who am I?My name is Alan Moore and I'm a UK based media composer. I live across the Yorkshire Moors from Whitby, hence the website! The drive across the Moors to Whitby has always held a fascination for me. It always reminds me of Conan Doyle's 'Hound of the Baskervilles' (I know, the novel was set in Dartmoor!). Like Dartmoor, I find the Yorkshire Moors National Park has that same bleakness PLUS beautiful country villages and some great pubs (which, you'll be pleased to know, I've researched thoroughly!). The North Yorkshire Moors (and the nearby Yorkshire Wolds) form a scenic background to the coastline, with heather moors, rolling hills, picturesque country towns and historic houses. There is a wealth of scenic variety: open moorland and secluded dales which extend all the way to the rugged coast. A unique steam train links all this together. In short, a fantastic place for a holiday. It's a real privilege living here! The music excerpts, heard throughout the website, are my own compositions. I hope you've enjoyed this added dimension to the site. I've tried to choose music that complements each page and enhances the atmosphere of that page's subject. Please let me know if you think it works (or even if you think it doesn't!). I'm in the process of composing a 'Dracula Suite' which I'll eventually make available from 'Dracula-in-Whitby.com. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about this, again, please get in touch. Let me know what kind of music you like, or dislike. What is your favourite Dracula film soundtrack? Who is your favourite horror film composer? One of my favourites is James Bernard who scored many of the old Hammer Films. He's an absolute genius (his music scares the hell out of me!). I'll be reviewing several Dracula soundtrack albums in the near-future. Well, I hope this has given you a little information about why I created Dracula-in-Whitby. If you want to hear more of my music, I'd be delighted if you'd visit my media music website, where you can listen to (and watch) the music that I've scored for film, TV and the web.
Finally, if you'd like music creating for your project (website, film or video project), let's chat about it. You can reach me from either website. Take care. Alan About this siteI know you came here to find out more about Whitby and the Dracula connection, but I decided to add this section because I get a lot of questions about why I created this site. I've always loved Whitby and the Yorkshire coast and so it seemed a natural extension to create a website about the area, provide valuable information AND entertain at the same time.  I used a web host called Site Build It. It caters to beginners, but is applicable to anyone. I kept hearing the buzz surounding it so I decided to try it out. It takes the fear out of building that first website by providing an action guide, design templates (no web developing experience necesssary), search engine ranking help, etc. More importantly it shows you how to make a little cash with your site. You probably found this site by using a search engine. Well that's what SBI helps me with. It showed me how to build pages that rank high in the major engines so I can get as much free traffic as possible. This site is now in the top 600,000 websites in the world according to Alexa. This is very good when you consider how many millions of websites there are on the net. Better still, I only spend a few hours per week adding new pages and blogging to the Dracula News page. Best of all, I enjoy doing it! Even better still, I'm making money out of the site as well! If you have an interest/passion in travel destinations or any other area of expertise, I can't recommend SBI! highly enough. It is so fulfilling to be recognized as an 'expert' in my small niche and it is beginning to generate "quit your day job" money. I can't imagine a 9 to 5 life and I hope my recommendation helps anyone who feels the same and wants more out of life. A Success StoryHere's a real success story from Site Build It! Elad bought SBI! and created a site based on his hobby and began earning $2,000 per month after only six months.
He was completely new to website building but it proves you don't have to have website building experience to achieve success with SBI! Check out his inspiring video below...
Have a go!If you've got any spare time at all, you should try it. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't use it myself. My advice is to pick a topic that you have a personal interest in. What about your hobbies or passions? Do you have the solution to a problem that can help people? Acne? Make-up? Gardening? Dating? The topic can be anything. Just make sure you are interested enought in the topic to build a useful, informative site - otherwise you'd get bored and abandon it. The host I used, SBI, is completely risk free. SiteSell.com will give you a FULL refund if it's not for you, and there's no "trial period" or any sneaky catches. They can honour a great guarantee like that because they know they've got an outstanding product and the success stories to back it up.
