You'll need more than just fake fangs and a Bela Lugosi impersonation to pull off a convincing vampire.

To complete this How-To you will need:

An elegant outfit
Vampire fangs
White face powder
Red or purple lipstick
Pomade or hair gel
Fake blood
A cape

Step 1: Pick a formal black outfit

Pick an elegant black dress or a formal black suit from your closet, or find one in a used clothing store.

Step 2: Secure fangs

Buy plastic vampire fangs and a rubber bat from a costume shop. Make sure the fangs fit comfortably over your upper teeth.

Tip: Spring for moldable fangs and follow the instructions to make them stay securely in place all night.

Step 3: Whiten your face

After dressing, wash your face and then apply white powder with a puff or brush.

Step 4: Highlight your lips

Highlight your lips by making them very pale with a light dusting of face powder, or very dark with a deep red, purple, or black lipstick.

Tip: To make your face look even freakier, buy colored contacts—especially a disturbing color, like red, or a shade that is the opposite of your normal coloring.

Step 5: Do your hair

Slick your hair back with pomade or gel. If it's long, put it in a ponytail.

Step 6: Use fake blood

Dribble a drop or two of fake blood from the corners of your lips, and dot two small drops on your neck, spaced to look like fang puncture wounds.

Tip: You can purchase fake blood from most costume shops, or make your own with a few drops of corn syrup, red food coloring, and soy sauce.

Step 7: Don your cape

Don your cape with a flourish, and start practicing replacing your Ws with Vs.
