3 vampire costumes: Edward Cullen — “Twilight”
- Edward Cullen Wig
This modern-day vampire is an easy and cheap Halloween costume to put together. Everything you need to create the look is probably already hanging in your closet: a gray pea coat, a pair of nice jeans, a button down shirt or plain t-shirt, and a pair of dark-colored sneakers (which vampire skeptics suspect is what makes Cullen run fast and scale trees). You’ll also need some vampire makeup to make your skin pale and if you want the “sparkling in the sunlight” look, add some body glitter or glitter makeup. If your hair isn’t long enough to gel into a messy style, go with this Edward Cullen wig to complete the “Twilight” look.
4 vampire costumes: Count Chocula

Vampire Tips:
*DIY Vampire Fangs — If you are looking for a fun Halloween project, you can create your own custom vampire fangs. Check out this YouTube video from Make Magazine to see how:
*BEWARE — Don’t eat or sleep with your fangs in; you don’t want to swallow them on accident. Also, try to avoid red liquids because they can stain some fangs pink (Ironic, right?).
*Halloween Party Prep — Catch up on your vampire pop culture to keep the conversation flowing:
