Cosplaying: A scary vampire
From TaLynn, proving you can do a lot with “Closet Cosplay”: “This is a vampire cosplay. I do a lot of “closet cosplay” and I love corsets. I bought that one with no specific use in mind. The shirt is a work blouse and the skirt I purchased ‘cuz I thought it was pretty. The wig is actually my wedding wig. I repurposed it cuz, why not? The fangs are custom made. There used to be a guy who would come to DragonCon and make them on the spot. They snap on and are color matched. I’ve had them for about 10 years now.”

Cosplaying: Madam Bathory
From Kali, talking about the inspiration for this cosplay, originally published in Gothesque Magazine: “It was a magazine submission with an Elizabeth Bathory theme and I wanted to channel her as a youthful beautiful blood queen based on her history and infamy.”

Cosplaying: Your local witch
From Yakfrost on keeping it simple: “The witch hat was cheap and black and purple and I wanted to make a look based off it with things in my closet. I decided to use a long purple wig and use a black crop top. The makeup I wanted to be dark but cute!”
