Twenty Three - Fright and Living Dead in Vampire Halloween Costumes
Today, vampire Halloween costumes have more variety than they used to. The standard Count Dracula is still very popular, however many instead decide to create their own blood drinker. Popular culture has produced a number of films, novels, and other forms of media that add depth to the old lore. It is easy to come up with your own vampire Halloween costumes.
A little extra effort and you can have the best looking costume, complete with fang teeth fit for the Count himself. Many costume retailers supply vampire-specific merchandise, in a wide range of prices. Certain pieces may be more difficult to make, such as the fangs, however other parts are quite easy and can be created for little or no money.
For an old style vampire from centuries passed, you will probably want to include a dark cloak with your attire. You can spend upwards of hundreds of dollars on a very elaborate back covering, complete with fancy embellishments and expensive material. Obviously, this would be a bit excessive for a single Halloween's spending.
Capes are easily constructed at home. Even a beginning seamstress can quickly stitch up a realistic style. Just cutting a large circle of soft fabric and gluing purchased braiding along the edge will give you a cloak that will swirl around you. When purchasing fabric check out the sales tables in that department and you may find yards of cloth you can use priced at more than 50% off. It's best to buy the widest fabric available to avoid having to add seams if you aren't talented at sewing.
Your home can be a source of accessories and props for vampire Halloween costumes. Is there an old sheet or bedspread that can be cut into a cloak? If the color isn't dark enough a pack of fabric dye will be far less expensive than purchasing fabric.
Get creative and sort through old clothing, the garments you have no intention of wearing ever again. You can collect these and cut them into pieces or strips. Dye them if needed. Piece them together for a grittier, patchwork style cloak. If you prefer, leave some of them in pieces so that the fabric dangles in shreds behind you.
For a sleeker version, use a men's dress shirt in black, red or white covered by a black shiny cape perhaps lined in blood red. A woman dressed in a vampire Halloween costume will wear a long dark dress in a flowing material that trails behind her. Long sleeves that flare into great width at the wrist add to the illusion for the female version.
Don't' forget the fake blood - vampires need a lot of blood. Magazines and websites might have recipes for fake blood you can make at home but the store variety is inexpensive, too. Shopping for next years vampire blood the day after this Halloween will save quite a bit as seasonal items are often sold off for 50% or less of original price. It's a great deal as long as next year you can remember where you stored the bargains.
Vampire Halloween costumes are an old favorite. Add your own twist! Plan ahead and you can save yourself plenty of Halloween dollars, starting with buying clearance items after the season has ended. Saving money may be especially important if you must find costumes for multiple children year after year. Remember the valuable resource old clothing can be, and start there for vampire Halloween costumes before shelling out cash for brand new, store bought ones. Edited by Hetsil Protage
