True Blood Halloween: Bill & Eric Costumes

By  |  4 Comments

The modern vampire has it easy. No more swanning around in capes with slicked back black hair. Nope, the new breed of vampires are decidedly modern which makes dressing as Bill or Eric a lot more comfortable this Halloween. Guys, if you’re hoping to meet up with a Sookie this Saturday, pick one of these costumes and see what happens.

Finish off with a nice belt and leather shoes, brush your hair forward to create bangs if you don’t already have them, and of course add a pair of fangs. Practice your smoldering gaze for the full effect. If you add a recycling bin with Tru Blood empties to your costume, we’ll give you mad props.

If you’d prefer to go as a blonde, seemingly apathetic Viking who does not hide his violent streak, have a look at Eric’s wardobe. The iconic black racerback tank top and loose pants are probably his most recognizable look. Add a tracksuit jacket and a pair of fangs, slick your hair back and prepare to look sexy/menacing.
