The story, the myth and the legend of vampires goes back thousands of years and comes in many different forms, depending on the culture where the story originates from. For instance in China, vampires were described as creatures with green and pink hair whereas in Greece they were said to have the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a winged serpent (sounds more like Medusa than a vampire to us, but this is what legend has down...who are we to disagree?).

Known as evil and manipulating creatures that prey on the blood of the living,  vampires have not only been feared  but also idolised for their immortality and beauty. With their strange beauty luring prey can become a lot easier for vampires, and in an appealing vampire costume this can become a piece of cake, even for those who don’t know how to seduce!
