Vampire Costume Ideas For Kids

If you have a kid that wants to dress up as a vampire then you have a number of options. There are even vampire costume options for girls. Vampire costumes are fairly easy to put together and are great classic costumes.


Dracula


A Dracula costume needs to have some black slacks and black shoes. A white long sleeve shirt with a vest is also needed. The vest could be black or red. Finish the clothing part of the costume with a flowing cape that ties around the neck. Look for a cape with a high collar if possible. You will also need some makeup to make the kid look pale, some red makeup for blood from the mouth and some fake vampire teeth if the kid is old enough to safely use them.


Girl Vampires


If you have a girl that wants to dress up a vampire, you have a few different options. One option is to go as a Gothic vampire. This look can be achieved by simply wearing a Gothic period costume dress. Black with red or maroon is a good color scheme. A choker and vampire teeth will finish this look. A regular girl vampire or Dracula's girlfriend costume can be achieved with a long red or black dress and a cape similar to that of Dracula. Remember the vampire teeth and makeup for blood droplets from the mouth.


Edward Cullen from Twilight


If you kid is old enough to be a fan of the Twilight series then they may be interested in dressing as Edward Cullen from Twilight. For the costume you will want crazy, tousled hair and the posters of Edward from the movie typically have him dressed in jeans, a dark t-shirt and jacket. However, to make it easy for people to know what the costume is you can make a shirt that reads "Edward loves Bella" that the kid can wear. You will also want to have some of the fake vampire teeth.


Spike from Buffy


If your kid is into the cult favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer then you may want to consider a costume as Spike from Buffy. This costume can easily be achieved with black boots, black jeans, a black t-shirt, a black belt and a black leather jacket. Slicked back blond hair will complete the look. Since Spike's vampire teeth only showed when his face transformed you can get away without fake vampire teeth.
