Dracula Child CostumeAs Halloween is nearing, Vampire Costumes for Kids are being discussed, shopped for, etc. everywhere in order to make for a most creative October night.

Though many costume options are tempting, the old standby would of course have to be a vampire costume. No, not the sparkly vampires Stephanie Meyer has made famous, here I’m talking about the ‘classic vampire’ – like Count Dracula. So, here’s to not jumping on the Twilight bandwagon!

So, let’s get costuming! First of all, no Vampire Costumes for Kids is complete without his cape. Choose to wear a long black cape with red lining (red lining is a must here), with a wide popped collar drawn tight around the neck with a black ribbon or tie.

To help set you child apart from most tuxedo wearing vampires, opt for an old-fashioned white cravat tied in the front, against a dark gray vest (pinstriped if you’re stylin’), and complete the look with a white blouse, and black dress pants and a beautiful medallion on a red ribbon.Gothic Vampire Child Costume

For shoes for the perfect Vampire Costumes for Kids, the only natural footwear would have to be black dress shoes. (Can you imagine a vampire in flip-flops? Sneakers? Boots? No…)

Gloves, at this point, are optional, but if you do decide to go for them, make sure they’re black (or white).

Don’t forget to wear your vampire fangs either – having large canine teeth doesn’t cut it! Fake blood, in my honest opinion, is also optional. (My preference would be none, because I wouldn’t want to have to clean it off later).

Have your child wear their hair cut short and/or slicked back if you’re going for the traditional Count Dracula vampire costume look. If not, put on a wig or tease it out Tim Burton-style. That will impress many a fan, I assure you.

If you’re looking for something artsy to set your childs vampire costume apart from the many other Transylvanian Vampire Child Costumevampire costumes in your neighborhood or at your party then go for large buttons or cuff-links on your vest/blouse, and black or red jeweled rings and other jewelry.

What else? Make sure that for your Vampire Costumes for Kids includes a face that is whitened with makeup, and if your good at it, add a bluish tint to their skin for realism. Use makeup to make dark circles around the eyes; be sure to give the illusion of a hollow face as well.
