It also makes for a brilliant last-minute idea.

Women's Vampire Costume
When you're in a pinch, think of the basics: cape, dress, fangs, and of course, fake blood. Once you've got those items, you're on your way to DIY-ing a showstopping vampire costume. Fortunately, you can get everything quickly on Amazon or at your local party store.
Vampire Makeup
Your costume could also be as simple as reaching into your makeup bag. If that's the case, check out our easy vampire makeup tutorial. For added style, throw on a cape and wear some black tulle.
Easy No-Sew Vampire Costume
One way to achieve this look (without spending all day crafting) is with a convincing vampire-esque collar. Kari of Rad + The Rest created a step-by-step guide to copying her classic DIY vampire look, and all you'll need is black felt, black ribbon, and scissors. Tie it all together with a black dress, white face powder, and some fangs.
Kids' Vampire Costume
More sweet than spooky, this kids' vampire costume is too cute for words. A mini reversible cape and drawn-on fangs (or a mouthpiece) will have them pronouncing "w" as "v" in no time.
Twilight Vampire Costume
For guys who want to use basic items that are probably already in their closet, look no further than this Edward Cullen creation. Dark clothing and a shimmer powder make it easier than ever to copy Robert Pattinson's vampiric style. And remember this costume won't be complete without hair gel.
Bat Pet Costume
In case your pets want to get in on the fun: Your dog or cat will look like they're about to fly off when you dress them up as a bat.
