Count Dracula from Renfield
Count Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage) is the centuries-old vampire who keeps the titular R.M. Renfield in his employ in the horror comedy Renfield. Renfield has been the Count’s familiar for centuries, helping the intimidating vampire secure food and achieve his full power. All is well and good until Renfield decides he’s had enough. Count Dracula’s attire in the film varies, but you can always bet he’s wearing something snazzy and a little over the top. Two of his best looks include a red velvet suit with a golden brooch instead of a tie, as well as an all-black ensemble that includes a fur-trimmed coat and a cane. No matter which look you choose, you’ll need white makeup and blue lipstick to achieve a truly undead look. Accessorize with long nails, terrifying teeth, and plenty of oversized rings.
Draculaura
Draculaura is a character from the Monster High franchise. She is the daughter of Dracula – but she’s a vegetarian! She is sweet and friendly, though a bit sensitive and childish. With dolls, cartoons, and a live action movie, Draculaura has many different styles. Therefore, our costume guide features a variety of pieces to assemble a unique outfit. Stick with pink and black, and aim for a mix of cute, gothic, and spooky. Any nods to vampires are great too, such as bats, fangs, and spiderwebs.
Dracula from Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Dracula is the main antagonist in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Filmed in 1992, the movie features a star studded cast: Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker, Winona Ryder as Mina Harker, Anthony Hopkins as Professor Van Helsing, and Gary Oldman as Dracula himself. As the story always goes, Dracula is the enigmatic owner of a castle in Transylvania, who is really a vampire. He invites Jonathan to arrange his real estate acquisitions in London. Despite the mention of the author in the movie title, director and producer Francis Ford Coppola doesn’t stick exactly to the book. For instance, he gives backstory to Dracula, and makes Mina a reincarnation of his wife.
