Your Fantasy Costume

Another year and Halloween drawing near (hmm that was quite a rhyme)

With True Blood tv series and other vampire movies Vampires seems to be a hot topic again… I’d say a classic, but waves of popularity comes and go and it seems the vampire trend is back. Thus we’ve decided to make this article about vampire fangs and monster teeth

Scarecrow Vampire Fangs makes the best-selling and most affordable  vampire fangs and theatrical teeth on the market. These affordable custom teeth are designed for realism and wearability. Scarecrow® teeth use a specially formulated, dental grade material for fitting (not over-the-counter craft plastic). The patented approach means there is NO boiling water, NO adhesives and NO unsightly partial plate to construct. You get a tight, rigid, SNAP-FIT without modeling any plastic around your molars. You can find them all over ebay and they also have an official site here.

Here’s a youtube video where you can see how to fit them. Beware they need 10-15 minutes to harden

If you still had any doubt here’s another

Another awesome provider for even more extreme fx, going beyond vampires into nastier and uglier monsters and creatures like demons, werewolves and orcs  is Dental distortions. Made from high quality dental acrylic and designed for ultra-realism, each set is meticulously stained by hand so they don’t look like white fake plastic but dirty enough LOL. No two sets are the same, just like real teeth! Created for Halloween, our products have found a special place in the Hollywood film industry and have been used in a wealth of movies and tv series. Also Dental distortions goes a step further and includes also claws. You can buy Dental Distortions models here

Here´s a tutorial about how to apply Dental Distortions fake teeth

Of course you can go to a dentist, or even try to make a mold of your own teeth to make the ultimate and more realistic effect, there are quite a wealth of tutorials online to do so, but that option is not so affordable. We´ll cover that though very soon.

A final touch! Add some fake blood

Kambriel offers elegant and luxurious Gothic clothing and accessories for men, for men and women, including flowing gowns, veils, priest cassocks, frock coats, capes, Victorian and Art Nouveau inspired
velvet and lace chokers, custom designs, and many one of a kind items.  Mostly nourished by a decadent and vampiric elegance, you’ll find garments and night gowns perfect for a vampiress in spectral white, or bloody red.  There’s also a nice selection of victorian gentlemen’s fashion. The overall impression is a collection that would fit perfectly the characters of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by Coppola. Vampires with a classic romantic air.

I have quite a few garments from this lovely shop that I’ve used quite a lot in my performances. The Dark Angel is an international company that ships world wide exquisite fairytale clothing for women, men and children. It also keeps a regular “bargain or best offers” section which is reason alone to bookmark it. Beside the models listed they also have a couture line that you can ask about for special events like weddings or prom balls. They are actually increasing catalog and working on new models and I’m yearning for their new red “Avalon dress” and the red gothic fairy dress made also in ivory. But for men they keep also a wide range of lovely coats capes and shirts, to give that vampire, poet, or pirate look. As it names suggests The Dark Angel has a spice of Dark into it, and many of the models would switch perfectly that “Interview with a vampire” look.

Below I show some pics of the garments from them I already own and use for my own performances.

Of course they look much better on the model than in me, but still i was so happy to give them use on stage and some photoshoots, Dark angel are very comfortable, even their corsets will not really cinch your waist but put things in proper place and very wearable. My advice is to get even if they are made the actual size, always a size a little smaller than your actual one as they tend to be loose (most of then have though laces or straps to make them adjustable). I have the three gowns posted above, and a few corsets as well but be sure to check the rest of their shop. The white fantasia dress has a lot of fabric and feels heavy in a lovely way and you can see me in a you tube video performing with it here. The damselle dress is a rather simple medieval mood garment but fits like a glove, will make you feel slender, it has really a gracious shape. Below you can see a picture of myself in a photo shoot with the Purple gothic fairy dress that you can watch above.
