His real break came when he became the Curator of the Edinburgh Wax Museum on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.  Here, he really came into his own, bringing in friends and family as supporting artistes.  Castle Dracula Theatre was launched and Charles enjoyed some of the happiest days of his life and a legend was born.  Working in the Museum  and entertaining visiting dignitaries and stars of stage and screen by day, but when darkness fell Charles took on the mantle of  'Count Dracula'.  It was hard going, working days and nights but it was all very rewarding when the audiences shrieked and screamed as, in complete make-up and resplendent in a red lined long black cloak,  Dracula emerged from his coffin, intoned in a deep resonant voice - and strange powers were effected.

It was a tragic day when the Wax Museum closed in 1989 and all the wax models were disposed of.  The museum had been one of the highlights of the Edinburgh tourist trail and, to this day, taxi drivers still drop off visitors who ask.  The museum is no more but it still lives on in people’s memories and imaginations.   

Life never stood still for Charles Cameron,'The Godfather of Bizarre Magick' a.k.a. Daemon & Count Dracula.
