Transcript:Easy Vampire Costume

Hi, I'm Ben Kurtzman for About.com and today I am going to show you how to make a vampire costume.

What You Need for a Vampire Costume

To start, you are going to need black pants, a black jacket and a white shirt. Once you are dressed, you are going to need a cape. Either pick one up at the costume shop, or fashion one out of a blanket and a safety pin from around the house.

Accessorize Your Vampire Look

Even if you do not buy a cape, you want to stop at the costume shop for a few items, including vampire teeth, which are essential. Pick up some white makeup for your face. You could also get some red makeup or some fake blood. The final thing you want to do is use some gel or hair product to slick back your hair.

Involve a Vampire "Victim"

And if your plans include a Halloween date, you want to be sure to plant a fake bite mark on your dates neck, that's the perfect accessory.

Happy Halloween and thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the web at About.com.
