Vampire costumes are gaining in popularity.
They've been around before, but ever since Twilight gained such a huge fan base, they're probably the #1 choice of all.
Truth be told, Twilight portrays vampires in a modern kind of way, so certain adjustments may be necessary if that's what you're looking for.
As every Twilight fan knows, Cullens are the good kind of vampires who refuse to suck the blood of innocent victims, but rather choose to soothe their needs by drinking purchased blood for example.
But there are also the bad kind of vampires who are the exact opposite.
These are probably the most reminiscent of Dracula and very traditional in their nature.
Anyway, these are the primary vampire costume components: fangs, eye contacts and some suitable clothing.
Probably some makeup and jewelry too if you want to go into those little details (and I suggest you do, considering you probably want to stand out from the pack).
I'll start with contact lenses first.
If you want to be a Cullen vampire, then get some honey-colored lenses.
If you want to go traditional, then something white, black or red would probably be the most suitable color choice for contacts.
Fangs are really important for your overall look (even though they're really visible only when you smile), so don't leave them out of equation.
But things may get complicated here.
For a temporary solution I would recommend just getting some plastic ones.
There is also a little bit more expensive option of having a dentist install some real fangs in your mouth, but that's only for the hardcore.
Jewelry can look really nice.
You just can't go wrong with anything Gothic and the choice is entirely up to you.
Alternatively, you can make some own jewelry and let your imagination guide you.
Like for example, you can purchase a glass vial and use some form of string to put it around your neck.
With fake blood in it of course.
And that's only one possible choice.
Finally, choosing the right outfit can truly make or break your overall costume.
If tradition is your choosing, then get something dark, classy looking, preferably with a cape.
If if you're going modern, try looking more casual, with a cool looking haircut instead of slit back hair with white stripes.
Outfit colors are important too.
For the most part, try thinking in terms of black with occasional red and chances are you'll hit the spot no matter what you end up choosing.
That pretty much covers the most important vampire costume components.
Hope you had fun reading and I'll see you later!
