Vampire Costumes For Men: Give Yours a Unique Twist

Posted on August 20, 2011 by spooky

Vampires have become a hot topic in recent years. They seem to be popping up in movies, books, video games–just all over the place.

With all the vampire romanticism you’re bound to see vampire costumes for men at any Halloween party you go to. The good news is that, because vampires are so varied, there’s always a way to personalize your costume and make sure that you stand out from the crowd at any party.

The Classic Male Vampire

The classic male vampire has a long cape, black pants, a shirt and a vest. This is the way Dracula would look, with deep red colors and a frilly shirt representative of the time. Most vampires also come with long fangs for draining their victims, and a touch of blood on the side of the mouth helps to complete the look.

These traditional vampire costumes are fun to wear and can take a lot of work to put together. Thankfully there are a number of readymade options available to buy in stores if you want to save some time. That said, if you are attending a vampire-themed party, you might want to go for something more unique. A more modern vampire, perhaps.

Eric From True Blood

Eric isn’t your traditional vampire. There are no capes involved, and he has very light, blonde hair. Eric tends to favor well-fitted clothing, especially dark leather while he’s working all through the night at Fangtasia. You’ll want to get hold of a blonde wig, vampire fangs and some white face makeup to complete his pale look. And you’ll need a dash of arrogance too if you’re going to play this Viking vampire.

Twilight Vampires

The vampires of Twilight are also far from your traditional vampire image. The Cullen vampires have famous golden or black eyes, which you can replicate with contact lenses as long as you make sure they’re safe. If you want to look like Edward, get yourself a blonde wig and complete the look with dark clothing and small fangs.

The Vampire Lestat

Lestat has gone through a number of costume changes in the movies Interview With The Vampire and Queen of the Damned, so you have a good choice of costume already. In his later years, Lestat became a rock star. If you choose to go with this vampire costume theme you’ll want some leather pants, rock star shades, and a gothic rock star shirt. If you’d rather go for a more traditional look, then opt for Lestat’s Victorian period – full of lace, long coats and frilly shirts.

The only vampire costumes for men used to be strictly Dracula, but today’s new fascination with these creatures of the night has brought about nontraditional, although popular, sexy vampires.

Creating The Perfect Men’s Pirate Costume

Posted on August 13, 2011 by spooky

The men’s pirate costume is such a popular theme at Halloween, even whole parties are based around it! Choosing to dress as a pirate this year doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll end up looking the same as everyone else, though. Here are a few ideas to make sure you get your unique pirates costume just right.

The Elements Of A Pirate Halloween Costume

The classic men’s pirate costume consists of a number of important elements:

The hair – Pirates aren’t known to take the best care of their appearance: they’ve got more important things to worry about! As such, pirate hair is often long and messy, held into place with a classic pirate bandana.

The hat – Pirate hats come in a number of unique shapes and sizes, though they’re usually big and triangular in shape. If you really want everyone to know you’re a pirate then get a hat marked with the classic skull and crossbones.

Clothing – Pirate clothing usually consists of puffy shirts, vests, and pants tucked into their black boots.

Accessories – No pirate would be complete without his sword, so make sure you have one to hand. Other accessories that’ll help you complete the pirate look include an earring in one ear, feathers in your hair, and a parrot on your shoulder.

Some pirates even have missing hands, which they replace with hooks, and missing legs, which they replace with the wooden peg leg. Adding any of these accessories will make sure everyone knows what you’ve come as at this Halloween party!

Famous Pirate Characters

If you want to take your inspiration from famous pirates from the media then there are a few distinguishing features of these pirates you’ll want to include:

Jack Sparrow – Jack wears the traditional puffy pirate shirt and big boots, but his most notable feature is his hair. You’ll need long, dark dreadlocks if you want to go as this pirate at Halloween, with a red bandana and a triangular pirate hat.

Davy Jones – Here’s a unique pirate costume idea! The best thing about Davy Jones is his beard full of tentacles. You can put this together yourself, but thankfully there are realistic masks available if you want to make things a little easier!

Captain Hook – This famous pirate was always after Peter Pan, but could never quite catch him. He has distinctive curly locks, a hook for a hand, and an irrational fear of ticking clocks!

7 Ideas For Sexy Men’s Halloween Costumes

Posted on August 7, 2011 by spooky

Sexy men’s Halloween costumes are just as much in demand as sexy costumes for women! If you’re looking for a costume that’ll get the women swooning, then how about choosing from one of these seven ideas?

1) Firefighter

Who doesn’t like a man in uniform? The firefighter is one of the most popular options for a sexy men’s Halloween costume. He may be fighting fires and saving people’s lives every day, but he still has time to look good! The classic firefighter outfit consists of the pants with a reflective trim, those classic firefighter suspenders, and the yellow firefighter hat.

2) Spartan Warrior

These Ancient Greek warriors have always been admired by the ladies, thanks to the fact that their outfits are sparse to say the least. Spartan warriors are ready for battle in long capes, short wraps and a bear chest.

3) Scottish Kilt

Is it true what they say about Scottish men and their underwear? You can be the judge of that when you don the famous Scottish kilt as your sexy Halloween costume. Men have been known to wear this outfit with nothing on top and nothing underneath!

4) Policeman

Yet another sexy uniform costume, there have been many different versions of the policeman outfit in costume stores. You could go for the realistic costume, or go all out and buy the tighter, shorter and sexier version that’s sure to turn heads!

5) The Borat Mankini

What man dares to don the mankini this Halloween? Any man who wears this swimsuit, made famous by Borat, must have complete faith in this body and a willingness to show almost all of it off at Halloween parties! Probably not the best costume idea if there are going to be children present!

6) Sailor

What is it about sailors and men of the sea that women seem to love? Sailor costumes are definitely a firm favorite among men (and women) for Halloween. There are many different options available, but the most noticeable has to be the all-white outfit complete with necktie and sailor hat.

7) Barbarian

Women find it hard to resist the barbarian man. He may not be civilized, but he normally knows how to fight, and has the muscles to prove it! The barbarian wears little more than a loincloth – choose this costume if you dare!
