Perfect for Halloween, costume parties, or becoming the most legendary vampire on the block.

Why parents love it

"My son built this Dracula head and insisted on wearing it to school for Halloween. The teachers were impressed! Way better than the plastic mask we were going to buy. He kept the fangs on his bedroom door after Halloween." — Rebecca L., mom of vampire enthusiast
