Unless               you               have               been               living               in               a               coffin               for               the               past               year               or               so,               you               will               note               the               extreme               popularity               of               vampires               in               popular               culture.

With               the               Twilight               movies,               The               Vampire               Diaries,               and               my               own               personal               favorite,               True               Blood               on               HBO               being               massive               hits,               it's               no               small               wonder               the               world               has               been               'bitten'               by               the               vampire               frenzy.

With               Halloween               fast               approaching,               we               will               certainly               see               a               vamp               or               two,               or               more,               in               costume,               and               while               the               King               of               Vampires               himself,               Dracula,               is               always               a               favorite               every               season,               I               thought               it               would               be               fun               to               throw               a               few               modern               day               bloodsuckers               into               the               mix               as               well.

By               that,               I               mean               the               vampires               from               the               TV               series               True               Blood!

True               Blood               has               certainly               caused               a               surreal               sensation               over               the               past               summer.

The               series,               which               takes               place               in               the               South,               in               particular               Louisiana,               centers               around               the               supernatural               universe               which               surrounds               telepathic               waitress               Sookie               Stackhouse.

On               the               show,               vampires               have               literally               'Come               out               of               the               Coffin'               so               to               speak               after               the               Japanese               invent               synthetic               blood,               which               vampires               can               live               off               of               without               having               to               prey               on               humans.

Well               as               it               turns               out,               quite               a               few               extraordinary               vampires               and               vampiresses               make               their               presence               known               to               humankind               in               the               True               Blood               universe,               and               I               will               give               you               a               rundown               on               the               fabulous               undead               who               would               make               awesome               costumes               for               Halloween               this               year.
               For               the               Women
               Alright,               ladies,               this               is               truly               your               chance               to               REALLY               vamp               it               up               this               year,               and               I               mean               that               quite               literally!

True               Blood               has               some               very               fun,               sexy               ladies               to               take               cues               from,               but               I               am               going               to               start               out               with               perhaps               THE               vampiest               of               them               all               (and               my               choice               of               costume               this               year),               vampire               queen               Sophie-Ann!

Making               a               very               memorable               debut               in               the               latest               episode               'Frenzy',               Sophie-Ann               is               a               1100+               year               old               vixen,               with               gorgeous               red               hair               and               the               looks               of               a               classic               Hollywood               starlet.

For               this               costume,               I               would               definitely               go               with               a               gold               sequined               evening               gown               and               accessorize               it               with               flashy               costume               jewelry.

Most               thrift               stores               and               vintage               shops               carry               old               prom               dresses               and               you               can               find               all               sorts               of               costume               jewelry               at               a               store               such               as               Claire's.

Be               sure               to               style               your               hair               in               a               1940s               coif               ala               Rita               Hayworth               and               paint               your               nails               a               pretty               cherry               red.

Make               sure               your               make-up               is               extra               pale,               with               lovely               eyes               and               bright               red               lipstick               (again:               1940s               Hollywood               starlet).

Although               you               don't               look               a               day               over               25,               be               sure               to               carry               yourself               in               a               grand,               regal               way               befitting               a               queen               with               a               millennium               of               'life'               experience               under               your               crown.

You               have               seen               the               world               change               in               the               worst               ways,               and               you               must               convey               all               of               your               wisdom               behind               your               fresh               faced               looks.
               Another               very               beautiful               (and               very               dangerous)               vampire               is               Lorena.

Having               found               the               perfect               man               in               Bill               Compton               some               130+               years               ago,               she               is               a               vamp               who               knows               that               she               wants               and               will               stop               at               nothing               to               get               it.

Literally!

Lorena               had               quite               a               few               costume               changes               this               past               season,               as               we               saw               her               life               with               Bill               unfold               in               the               early               20th               Century.

For               Lorena,               I               would               go               with               the               look               she               had               back               in               the               Roaring               Twenties.

Her               outfit               was               a               black               flapper               style               evening               gown               that               came               to               the               top               of               the               knees,               trimmed               with               blood               red,               Art               Deco               style               jewelry               and               long,               black               evening               gloves.

Most               costume               shops               carry               1920s               style               flapper               dresses,               but               again               you               could               probably               find               something               with               that               look               at               a               thrift               store               or               an               antique               store,               along               with               the               jewelry.

Lorena               had               her               hair               cut               in               a               very               stylish               bob               back               in               this               era,               and               again               (and               I               REALLY               stress               this               if               you               are               planning               to               dress               up               as               any               of               these               vamps)               make               sure               your               complexion               is               EXTRA               pale!

Remember,               you               haven't               seen               the               sunlight               in               centuries,               therefore               you               cannot               have               a               sunny,               California               girl               tan.

So               powder               up,               apply               the               eye               make-up               extra               dark,               and               apply               that               blood               red               lipstick!
               Now,               if               these               ancient,               world-weary               vampiresses               aren't               exactly               your               cup               of               tea,               then               I               would               most               definitely               go               with               dressing               up               as               the               young,               doll-like               Jessica.

Made               into               an               eternal               teenager               by               Vampire               Bill,               Jessica               is               as               fresh               as               they               come.

With               her               sweet,               pretty               face               and               gothic               doll               looks,               I               would               go               with               a               sweet               sundress               with               flats.

Any               clothing               store               around               this               time               of               year               will               probably               have               sundresses               on               clearance,               so               you               would               certainly               be               able               to               pick               one               up               for               very               cheap               and               I               would               go               with               a               yellow               one               (like               the               one               we               saw               her               wear               in               the               infamous               episode               where               she               'came               out'               to               her               family               as               a               newly               recruited               member               of               the               undead).

Jessica               has               very               long,               orange               hair,               usually               pulled               back               into               a               ponytail               (a               hair               extension               would               be               really               great               to               use               for               this)               and               I               would               keep               the               make-up               very               simple,               with               minimal               eye               make-up               and               glossy               lips,               certainly               befitting               for               an               eternal               teenage               girl.

Oh,               and               yes,               keep               it               pale!
               Okay,               while               we               are               on               a               roll               with               the               fun,               sexy               female               vamps               on               the               show               that               would               make               great               costumes,               we               most               certainly               cannot               leave               out               Vampire               Pam!

A               popular               fixture               at               Fangtasia,               and               Eric               Northman's               strong,               second               in               command,               Pam               is               an               eternal               party               girl               to               the               nth               degree.

When               Pam               is               off-duty,               we               usually               see               her               wearing               fun,               stylish               ensemble               with               cute               pumps               (although               one               pair               was               sadly               ruined               when               she               went               out               into               the               woods               one               night),               but               when               she               is               working,               she               dons               the               traditional               'gothic'               look               (all               black,               long               flowing               dresses,               leather,               etc.)               so               you               could               really               go               either               way               for               Pam.

Pam               has               been               described               as               'Alice               in               Wonderland               with               fangs'               and               a               deadly               soccer               mom,               and               with               her               long               blonde               hair               and               simple,               yet               striking               make-up               that               about               sums               it               all               up!

Now               listen               up               guys,               if               you               REALLY               want               attention               from               the               ladies               this               Halloween,               I               would               strongly               advise               taking               a               cue               from               the               sexy,               dangerous               male               vampires               in               the               'True               Blood'               universe.

While               most               women               would               swoon               anyway               if               you               were               wearing               a               long,               black               cape,               dressing               up               as               one               of               these               hotties               will               make               any               girl               want               to               become               your               personal               Fangbanger!

               Vampire               Eric               Northman.

Just               his               name               alone               will               make               any               red-blooded               female               go               weak               in               the               knees.

Eric               is               a               1,000               year               old               Nordic               vampire,               and               the               owner               of               Fangtasia.

A               Viking               in               his               human               life,               Eric               is               tough               and               sinister,               although               he               has               been               known               to               show               a               very               sly               sense               of               humor.

Eric               in               the               first               season               of               the               show               had               long,               golden               blonde               hair               (which               sadly               was               cut               short               this               past               season)               but               for               his               look,               I               would               stick               with               the               longer               hair,               as               it               is               more               romantic               and               Viking-like.

Eric               is               usually               always               wearing               head-to-toe               black,               although               in               one               memorable               episode               we               saw               him               wear               a               jogging               suit               (shudders)               but               I               would               go               with               the               all               black               ensemble.

If               you               wanted               to               take               it               a               step               further               however,               you               could               even               don               the               Viking               battle               gear               like               we               saw               him               wear               in               a               flashback               (I've               seen               Viking               wear               for               sale               at               those               costume               shops               that               pop               up               in               empty               shopping               centers               every               year               around               October).

Either               way               you               go,               you               will               be               irresistible               to               any               breathing               human               creature!
               If               you               want               to               go               with               a               very               unique               vampire               look               this               year,               Eric's               maker,               Godric,               would               be               just               the               ticket.

Although               he               has               the               looks               of               a               high               school               sophomore,               Godric               is               over               2,000               years               old.

It's               assumed               the               ancient               teenager               was               turned               sometime               back               in               Roman               times,               and               he               sports               some               very               elaborate,               interesting               body               art.

This               one               might               be               a               little               bit               harder,               as               Godric's               most               memorable               look               on               the               show               was               back               in               the               Nordic               times               when               he               turned               Eric,               and               we               saw               him               shirtless               displaying               his               extraordinary               body               art.

My               best               bet               for               this               one               would               to               be               to               go               online               to               www.true-blood.tv               and               check               out               their               pix               of               Godric.

Pick               up               one               of               those               temporary               body               art               henna               kits               (again               you               can               usually               find               these               at               seasonal               costume               stores)               and               have               a               friend               assist               you.

Although               you               have               the               look               of               an               innocent               schoolboy,               you               have               seen               civilizations               rise               and               fall               thru               out               your               existence.

Be               sure               you               convey               your               knowledge               and               wisdom               with               a               kind               stoicism,               fitting               for               a               2000               year               old               vampire.
               OK,               last,               but               DEFINATELY               not               least,               we               cannot               forget               the               most               crucial               element               to               any               of               these               aforementioned               costumes:               FANGS!

You               ARE               a               vampire               and               therefore               you               MUST               have               the               most               necessary               item.

A               great               place               to               order               some               really               nice               fangs               is               vampfangs.com.

They               sell               a               wide               variety               (including               some               that               even               drip               blood)               but               I               would               go               with               the               classic,               plain               fangs.

Just               don't               get               TOO               carried               away               with               the               spirit               of               your               character               and               actually               try               to               BITE               someone               ;)
               I               have               given               you               all               a               small               rundown               on               some               of               'True               Blood's               most               popular               vampire               characters.

If               you               need               any               more               assistance               or               visuals               to               go               by,               visit               www.true-blood.tv               or               HBO's               official               site               to               look               at               some               pix               of               all               the               aforementioned               vamps.

It               should               also               be               noted,               that               on               September               28th,               you               will               be               able               to               purchase               a               'genuine'               bottle               of               True               Blood               from               HBO's               site,               which               would               make               a               fantastic               finishing               touch               to               your               costume!

I               hope               everyone               has               a               safe,               and               FANGTASTIC               Halloween!
