First off, no, I'm not crazy. For as long as I can recall, I've always had this fascination with vampirism. Not so much the whole drinking other people's blood conundrum, more so the concept of living forever. Throughout time, vampires have been portrayed as this sort of demon-like scary bedtime story. "Dracula," "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," and numerous other fictions only furthered this portrayal.

Fast forward to the introduction of the "Twilight"-era, millennials grew obsessed. Whether it be the prospect of immortality or the sheer amount of hot men that portray these bloodsuckers, the allure of this supernatural figure has without-a-doubt plagued the minds of adolescents everywhere.

As far as my Halloween plans go, I think it’s pretty clear. Here’s why I’m going on my 6th year as a Vampire.

1. Vampire Makeup is Iconic

Nothing says vampire better than the staple canine fangs. Pair that with under eye veins that somehow end up seeming more like a pair of designer bags by the end of the night and you’ve got the look down. Oh and for those Twilight fanatics, don’t forget the blood red eyes. (pun intended)

2. You Feel Like An Actual Vampire

Let’s face it, being a vampire is a rush. Speed, strength, everything is heightened. Life through the eyes of a vampire is extraordinary. Who doesn’t want to feel amazing all the time? Just, please refrain from sprinting down the street, it’s only fictional.

3. Blood

Whether it be fake blood from the store, or some sort of one part chocolate one part food coloring mixture, it just ties the whole look together. The only downside is the pain it is to clean it off the next day. Worth it.

4. Red Eyes

The red eyes are possibly my favorite part of this look. There’s just something so vivid about blood red eyes. You can probably find the contact lenses at most Halloween stores, but if you’re one of the unlucky ones who need prescription lenses, (me) good luck!

5. The Fangs

The fangs are by far the hardest part of this look. The mouthpiece looks horrible, so go for the individual stick-on teeth. Just ignore the lisp, you look badass.

6. The Outfit

It’s pretty straightforward to put this look together once you’ve gotten all the details figured out. Typically, all black paired with a leather jacket will suffice. Just go for dark, mysterious, and — above all — sexy.
