Sidebar Poll: Which Twilight Character Would You Like to be for Halloween?
Thanks to everyone who voted in our previous sidebar poll, "Which love theme from the Twilight Saga movies is your favorite?"
Bella's Theme (from Twilight) won with 5 votes (out of 11 total votes)
Jacob's Theme (from Eclipse) came in 2nd with 3 votes
The Meadow (from New Moon) came in 3rd with 2 votes
My Love (from Eclipse) came in 4th with 1 vote.
I'm looking forward to hearing the soundtrack (and love theme) for Breaking Dawn. I hope it comes out soon!
Now on to our new sidebar poll, "Which Twilight character would you like to be for Halloween?" My choice would be to dress up as Rosalie in a wedding gown and red contact lens, but I think it would be too scary for my kids!
Have fun voting!

Twilight Halloween Costume Ideas
If you haven't picked your Halloween costume yet, here are a few Twilight-related costume ideas for you to consider...
Gothic Vampire Costume
Twi-K and I wore this Gothic Vampire Costume to the Vampire Ball at last year's Twilight Convention in San Francisco. This is a high-quality, full-length gown with lovely details like lace trim, antique silver buttons, and a tulle and lace petticoat. I thought it was very soft and comfortable to wear. This costume also includes a black velvet choker necklace with a large red jewel, but Twi-K and I preferred to wear our own necklaces instead.
You can shop around online to find a better price, but I thought it was worth the price I paid (just under $100.) You can buy this "Theatrical Quality Deluxe Gothic Vampiress Adult Costume" from Spirit for $119.99.
Gothic Vampire Costumes for Kids
This is the child's version of the Deluxe Gothic Vampira Costume . This gown costs $71.97 from HalloweenExpress.com. There is also a men's version ($159.99 from Spirit) and a boy's version ($76.46 from CostumeCraze.com) of this Gothic Vampire Costume.
If you're looking for something less expensive for a child's costume, check out this red, hooded Gothic Vampire Costume for Kids. (This costume reminds me of the St. Marcus Day Festival in Volterra in New Moon.) You can buy this costume from Spirit for $19.99.
Rosalie (from New Moon) Costume
I wore this Rosalie costume to the Vampire Ball at the Eclipse Convention in Los Angeles. It's from Bella's birthday scene in New Moon. I created this look using a classic black dress with spaghetti straps (from Overstock.com), black shoes (from Bakers), Rosalie's pendant necklace (from Hot Topic), black chandelier earrings (from Charlotte Russe), and dressy vampire makeup (the Twilight Volturi Makeup Kit from Hot Topic).
Here's the link to the post describing how I put together my Rosalie costume , including where to find these items in the stores.
Victoria from Eclipse Costume
Twi-K wore this Victoria costume to the Vampire Ball at the Eclipse Convention in Los Angeles. It's from the scene where Victoria kisses Riley in Eclipse. Twi-K created this look using a long-sleeved black lace shirt, skinnny black pants, and black (Doc Marten?) boots. It also helped that Twi-K had long, red hair!
Wolf Pack Costume
If you prefer to dress up as a member of the wolf pack, check out my post about how to make a wolf pack mask. If you don't want to buy a wolf suit, you can make your own. First, choose the color of your wolf, then choose a long-sleeved shirt and pants to match your wolf's fur color.
Here are the fur colors of the wolf pack:
- Seth (fur colors: yellow brown, light brown, and light gray)
- Quil (fur colors: light brown and black)
- Leah (fur colors: light gray and dark gray)
- Jacob (fur colors: dark brown and light brown)
- Paul (fur colors: gray and black)
- Sam (fur color: black and dark brown)
- Embry (fur color: light gray and black)
- Jared (fur color: black and light brown)
To add a wolf tail:
If you'd like to add a wolf tail, use a ball of yarn in wolf fur colors (gray, brown, or black). Cut the yarn into about twenty 2-foot lengths. To make the tail look a bit "ragged", cut a few of the pieces of yarn a bit shorter than the other pieces.
Tie the twenty pieces of yarn at one end with a short piece of yarn. You can attach this tied end to the back of your wolf costume using a safety pin. Or you can just tuck the tied end of the tail into the back of you pants so that the tail pokes out from under your shirt.
Rosalie's Wedding Gown from Eclipse Costume
I was really hoping to see more of Rosalie's vintage wedding gown from her flashback scene when she "visited" Royce to get her revenge!
As far as I could see, Rosalie wore a white satin gown with a low, square-cut neckline (which showed off her string of pearls), puffed, long sleeves, a Juliet-style cap and veil, and dangling pearl drop earrings. Rosalie's hair was pulled under in the back and curled to frame her face.
I've also read that Rosalie had a very long train that flowed beautifully behind her gown, but I didn't see that in the movie.
I think the most striking part of Rosalie's wedding gown wasn't so much the wedding gown itself as Rosalie's glowing red vampire eyes and the expression on her face. If you are willing to wear red contact lens and would like to dress up in Rosalie's wedding gown, I bet that would be an awesome Halloween costume!
Have fun with whatever costume you choose to wear, and let us know if you use any of our ideas!
