When you think of a vampire hunter, your mind automatically goes to Van Helsing. There are multiple fictional characters with the same name. Still, all of them are rooted in character from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula, <\/em>often portrayed as a professor with extensive knowledge of the supernatural. As time passes, Van Helsing has evolved into many different versions of the character, frequently as a vampire hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, the modern era has other famous vampire hunters except for good ole’ Van Helsing. Blade from the Marvel comic turned-movie franchise Blade, <\/em>Buffy Summers from the aptly-titled TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, <\/em>and Alucard (Dracula spelled in reverse) from the Castlevania <\/em>anime series. Even Abraham Lincoln was turned into a vampire hunter in that one movie. The former Mr. President was a badass, so who could blame them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re considering a vampire hunter costume, look no further than Googling up their character designs for inspiration. But if you want to step it up further and make it steampunk, then we have the best ideas and guides for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to combine these three categories of costume aesthetics: Gothic, pre-modern era clothing, and steampunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why did I call it pre-modern era-inspired clothing? Well, I couldn’t find a better word for historical costumes before the end of the World Wars. So, any costume inspired by the fashion of the Victorian Era up to the Dark Ages can fit the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a list of what you need to achieve the look for a cosplay event or Halloween costumes of steampunk vampire hunter characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coats and cloaks are almost indispensable parts of a steampunk vampire hunter outfit. Of course, if you are on a high-stakes chase against an incredible supernatural foe, you need to be prepared for long travels and all kinds of weather. Cloaks and coats do the job well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can wear them with or without a hood. Colors should preferably be black, brown, or red–anything bright will probably make others question your seriousness in your profession.<\/p>\n\n\nCloak or trench coats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
