The illuminations will be accompanied by a live theatre performance in the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
Images of bats are being projected onto Whitby Abbey as part of events to mark the 125th anniversary of the publication of Dracula.English Heritage, which runs the abbey, said a Dracula-themed theatre act will be performed in the ruins each evening.
The organisation said the projection also acknowledges the abbey ruins are home to a colony of bats, a protected species. In the Dracula novel, Whitby Abbey was the location where Count Dracula comes ashore and it is referenced in the journal of the novel's female protagonist Mina Harker. A large dog runs up the 199 steps which lead to the abbey after the ship carrying the count's coffin runs aground.
