Modern vampires

Hi-tech vampire This year Corwin has decided that he wants to go as a vampire for Halloween. But not just any vampire, but one that is properly equipped.

The key sartorial option Corwin was interested in was the plastic fangs. These were absolutely key to the entire ensemble. You can just barely seem them in this picture but he’s wearing them.

Next up was the cape. While we were out shopping for some items for Dad’s costume (he’s indulged himself without restraint this year) Corwin saw the capes and immediately pointed out that vampires wear capes, ergo Corwin needed to have a cape. Despite having to take out the second mortgage, we provided Corwin with the necessary funds.

What I like best though is the bright orange swim trunks. These are the hot new look for modern vampires. I think the idea is to use the cape to conceal the trunks until the vampire is right on the target and then flash them with a mind numbing flash of orange, rendering the target insesenate.

The crowning touch to the ensemble is Corwin’s SpyGear which helps out the vampire when his supernatural senses are not quite enough.
