Family Friendly Vampire Costumes

The Vampire, long considered the ultimate night stalker amongst the traditional Halloween spooks has been a part of Halloween folklore for hundreds of years. Vampires of old were considered to be rather dark and creepy “undead” beings, feeding on the blood of the living to maintain their subsistence. Unable to tolerate any daylight, vampires lived a nocturnal life, coming out in the midnight hours seeking blood nourishment from humans and sometimes animals.

Over the years, the myth and folklore surrounding the Vampire has evolved somewhat. Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” presented a more civilized and suave incarnation of the Vampire, which in the past had not been presented quite so civilly and refined as he was in this popular monster tale. In today’s day, popular movies such as the “Twilight” series have not only reinvented the Vampire, but have also added even more dimensions to his persona. In Twilight, a new Vampire is introduced that is torn between love and bloodlust and lives in the midst of the torment of being caught in a very conflicting inner battle.

Dressing up as one of the many varieties of a Vampire will always be a traditional Halloween costume choice; it may even make your entire family’s blood run cold - in true Halloween fun and style, of course. Our large selection of Vampire getups, with varying levels of ghoulishishness included, will give every member of your family what they really crave when it comes to creating their own version of one of these bloodthirsty and very undead beings.
