When Dracula’s Castle Burned Down

Dracula's Castle was an iconic landmark in Wildwood since the 1970s until it was set on fire by a couple of teenagers and burned to the ground. The teens were caught leaving the scene of the crime.

As reported by NBC10 at the time, an off duty police officer witnessed two teenagers leaving the scene. One teenager was 16 years old and the other teen was 15 years old and faced a number of criminal charges.

Over 120 firefighters battled the 6 alarm fire.
