Classic vs. Modern Vampire Halloween Costume

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to make a vampire costume. Vampires are a huge presence in the world of horror and Halloween. There are a number of ways you can dress yourself up to be a vamp. So many it's impossible to cover them in just one instruction. But for today I'm going to be focusing on two of the more popular looks. The first is the classic Gothic look. This is what you think of when you think of Count Dracula, The Count at his castle. It's more of a refines 17th to the late 19th century look. They don't look like they are from today. They are obviously out of place when it comes to the time they lived in. Now you have capes and gloves and a silly elegant look but of course they are still undead. The second look is more of a modern look. This is kind of bringing vampires more into the 20th and 21st centuries and what I mean by this is, these vampires they wear sunglasses, they wear more modern dress and fashion, they have leather jackets. They're ready to go rip it up all over the town. They act very alive and full of life and some ways perhaps yours despite being undead."
