The vampire is characterized by long, curling fingernails, pale skin and rat-like fangs. It is the embodiment of our darkest and most primeval fears of the dark, the unknown, the grave and the uncertainty of what, if anything, comes after death.

Are you ready to delve into the realm of the undead….just for a night?

Let’s start with the most debonair vampire you’ll encounter…

Count Dracula

Although vampires have existed in every culture around the world, in fiction, the vampire has become increasingly alluring and attractive. Beginning with the film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the vampire was dressed to the nines in formal attire.

Nothing is more befitting a modern day Dracula than the Gothic Vampire Costume. This dashing, fully finished garment is made of rich fabric and includes a burgundy velvet vest with attached white satin shirt, an amazing full length black satin cape, white gloves and a jeweled medallion.

To complete this vampire outfit, you’ll need to add a pair of black slacks, dress shoes, vampire fangs, vampire makeup, and a vampire wig. The ensemble will elicit plenty of compliments and will give you the edge in any costume contest. Pair up with Dracula’s Bride in a gothic vampiress costume and a striking couple you will have.

Dracula’s Bride

Everyone knows that Dracula wouldn’t attend a costume ball alone. He is sure to have a ravishing vampiress on his arm and probably his bride.

The Gothic Vampiress Costume easily matches and makes a great pair with the Gothic Vampire Costume. The vampiress costume is a formal, full length gown with a black loop braid and antique silver gothic buttons. Also included are a jeweled velvet choker and petticoat. You need only add a matching pair of gothic style shoes and, of course, fangs.

Some suggested accents would include the coffin clutch and a gothic vampire wig.

Baron Von Bloodsheed Costume

For a bit of a less formal vampire look that delivers the same amount of fear and intrigue as the traditional vampire costume, consider the Baron Von Bloodsheed costume.

Complete with a black faux leather vest with lace-up front and coordinating black faux leather trench coat, the costume will certainly give onlookers pause before they approach you. With an added pair of black pants, black loafers, a shirt and just the right amount of dark and dreary makeup, you’ll be ready for some mischief on Halloween.

Twilight Twinkle Costume

In fiction, female vampires have been portrayed as both the evil predator and seductress. They are seen as ambitious, manipulative, powerful and cunning. The Twilight Twinkle Costume fits this persona with its biting looks and killer style. This unique vampire outfit includes a dress with a corset style top and layered mini skirt featuring fiber optic lights. You’ll attract plenty of buzz with this look and will not be short of prey.

Also included are a matching red cape, choker and removable shoulder straps. This vampin’ look would not be complete without a pair of thigh high boots. You’ll definitely bring the sexy back in this vampire outfit.

The connection with vampires is as ancient as humanity. Vampires, or creatures like them, have existed in every culture around the world. Although quite often dismissed into the fictional realm, the fascination with vampires persists. In fact, several vampire organizations exist exploring both facts and myths surrounding the undead. However, vampires have become more attractive and alluring with popular shows like The Twilight Saga, The Vampire Diaries and True Blood.

One of the first books published in English about vampires was, “The Vampyre” by John Polideri. This was followed by “Varney the Vampyre” by James Malcom Rymer in 1847. But, the most infamous book about vampires did not appear until 50 years later.

In 1897, the world experienced the birth of Dracula donned in a formal vampire costume. Dracula was conceived by Bram Stoker after having a nightmare about a vampire rising from the grave. It was seven years later that Dracula emerged.

Apart from fiction, history reveals that there were certain individuals who were believed to be real vampires. One of the most infamous was Vlad Dracula (also Stoker’s inspiration for his book). A lesser publicized vampire is Elizabeth Bathory. She was known for slaughtering six hundred innocent young women to improve her complexion and maintain her youth and vitality.
