Sinister creeping with the oversize vampire costume!We previously posted a vampire costume guide which included a detailed history of the vampire and their status in folklore. Check it out if you'd like the lowdown on how the vampire has evolved and why it's a GREAT Halloween costume idea. If you'd love to go to your party as a vampire and are looking for the coolest mens vampire costumes around, check out 5 of the best outfits around today:

Vampire Lord costume - For the most powerful, most deadly nightstalker around. If you sit on a vampire council and control the vampiric purse strings, this is the costume for you. It's definitely for purebloods only, and includes black coat with collar and wrists, belt and top hat with attached long black hair.

Grand Heritage Count costume - If image is everything, you won't go wrong with this amazingly noble outfit. If you own a Transylvanian castle and frequently hold masquerade balls with free food and the best blood-based champagne, this amazingly detailed outfit is clearly the best choice. Includes cape with collar, vest with attached sleeves, and jabot.

Drac in a Box costume - Weird, wacky and very unique, the Drac in the Box costume is the bloodsucking equivalent to a 'bad hair' day, for when you wake up and just simply forget to step out of your coffin. Guaranteed to be a quick party talking point! Includes padded coffin with attached tuxedo suit!

Oversize vampire costume - If gruesome is the name of your game, this costume is the only logical choice! It's.. well, it's hideous, and very sinister! Includes long black robe with attached cape, oversized head, and matching hands. You'll scare all partygoers out of their wits!

Slayer Commander Cross costume - If you spend your nights silently creeping round nightclubs, blood banks and underground raves killing as many nightstalkers as possible, this outfit is for you! Includes long half-sleeve jacket made from vinyl, a sleeveless shirt, and a latex gauntlet with blade. Add some shades and you may just be too cool for school.

There's 24 days to go until Halloween, folks! We hope you enjoy these vampire costumes but if you'd prefer to dress up as something else for Halloween, check out our full range of Halloween costume ideas or our costumes for Halloween for oodles of inspiration.
