I am Dracula.
Count Dracula: Myth and Legend
Blood-Sucking Star of the Silver Screen
Since 1897, the fictional account of the mysterious Count Dracula has haunted our imaginations. Written by Bram Stoker, the tale introduced us to the Transylvania vampire. Since then, our thirst for vampires has never been slaked!In 1931, Bela Lugosi played the infamous Count Dracula in Universal Studio's adaption of Stoker's novel. The dapper count, dressed in a tuxedo and cape, with his gentlemanly manners and debonair style memorized viewers.
Although vampires are a deeply rooted part of pop culture, Count Dracula is pretty much the king of them all. Dozens have portrayed the Count in films and on television. Lugosi originated the role but Christopher Lee, Gary Oldman, and John Carradine have given their own versions of the Master of the Night.
Of course, one of the classic standard costumes at Halloween is the traditional Count Dracula costume!

Tips and Ideas
If you're wishing to go with a classic Halloween costume, why not go as Count Dracula?The modern image of vampires has rapidly evolved, due to films, television and books like Twilight, The Lost Boys, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire: The Masquerade, Angel, Moonlight and many others. But the iconic image of Count Dracula, in his white tie, tuxedo tails, and cape remains one of the classics.
For your costume, find a white dress shirt. Bow tie is optional, as well as a vest. Black pants and black dress shoes are a must. If you want to go all out, find a tuxedo with tails. Find a cape with a high collar. The gold medallion is optional as well.
To complete your look, slick back your hair with some gel. Adding black spray-on hair dye is optional, if you want to go for the Lugosi-style Dracula. Pop in a pair of fake fangs, and voila, instant Count Dracula!
Transylvania accent is optional.

- I'm just one of those people who have never had an interest in Halloween. However, Dracula seems like he would scare enough people.
