Taking the Fun Out of It

No costume is trendier and easier to pull together this Halloween than the High School Vampire. Just follow these six easy steps:

Step one - Determine the high school student that you have the easiest access to. Depending on your situation this may be a sibling, son or daughter, or neighbor.

Step two - Sneak into selected student's room while they are at school.

Step three - 'Borrow' some of their most vampire appropriate clothes. In general, the darker and moodier the clothes the better. If your selected student isn't appropriately goth or emo, any clothes will do as the modern vampire comes well dressed in plain clothes.

Step four - Allow your skin to become pale. For the vast majority of Massachusetts residents in October this step will already be completed.

Step five - Become a vampire.
Option A - Sit under a picturesque tree at night while writing in your journal and listening to the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack. A vampire will appear shortly to turn you.
Option B - Buy a set of plastic vampire teeth at the local party store. Option B recommended for those who value their time and are willing to spend a little more on the costume.

Step six - Have an angst-y Halloween. Don't forget to return the clothes and thank your High School Student.
