Here are some spooktacular vampire slayer costume ideas to help kick off your costume planning:

Vampire Slayer Costumes: A vampire slayer is a fictitious that kills vampires, so the more blood and props you use in conjunction with this costume, the better.

  • For men: Wear an all black outfit with metal spike accessories (belt, cuff, ring). Carry fake vampire slaying equipment such as a plastic sword, plastic knife or plastic axe. Make the equipment look even scarier by smearing fake blood on the blades. Additional accessories to consider are things like a cape or a black hair wig.
  • For women: Wear an all black outfit (shirt and pants, skirt optional), black leather boots and metal jewelry (spike choker, spike cuff, hoop earrings). Complete the look with a black wig, gothic make-up and vampire slaying equipment. Some equipment ideas for women include a wooden stake or a plastic axe. Make the costume spookier by using fake blood on the end of the equipment and on your hands.

Vampire Hunter Costumes: The vampire hunter is a character who works to ward off vampires. When putting together this outfit, use items you find around your house.

  • For men: Start with some old work jeans and a big, beat up sweater or shirt in a dark color. Smudge a little bronzer or brown face paint on your face and accessorize with a necklace of garlic cloves strung together with some twine as a way to ward off the predator and a tiki torch to hold as a guide. For the finishing touch, have fake knives or wooden stakes hooked on a tool belt.
  • For women: Wear something very similar but make it more feminine by choosing an old tattered dress or skirt in a dark color. For make-up, smudge bronzer, eyeliner, and mascara on your face to make it look like you’ve been hunting in the wilderness. Accessorize with a garlic necklace, garlic bracelet, garlic earrings and weapons. Finalize your vampire hunter costume with a fake vampire location map and wooden torch.
