Peypeypeypey Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Dracula is a far more iconic and recognizable costume. I give it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twogunkid Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Dracula is a master of disguising himself even in the original novel. Throw in that Vampires are super popular and a little Dracula hypnotism and suavity to the audience and you have to go with Dracula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklemore Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Dracula is a bit of a boring cosplay cause it's kind of overdone. Jack Frost is the new kid on the block that has something to prove. And he looks cooler than just wrapping a cape around you and calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincento Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Dressing up as funky looking creature will always impress me more than dressing up as fancy human. Also people might already get too used to Vampires as costumes.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twogunkid Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 This is Dracula who's doing the dressing up here. Charismatic, charming, and literally hypnotic and if living through the 2000's taught me anything, do not underestimate the public's love of a vampire.

Peypeypeypey Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I think people are underestimating Dracula a bit here. He's not just a stuffy old guy, he's a charismatic and wealthy Count who has a ton of different options when it comes to dressing to impress. Not to mention if you bring in versions of him that look more beast-like, bat-like, or monster-like. Dracula is an icon for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z451 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Dracula can be done in may different ways from his old Romanian routes based on Vlad Tepes, to his classic Universal role, to the Hammer films, to the 2000's Dracula movies, but all have been done quite too much to be honest. Dracula is a horror staple, and has been the standard archetype for every work of vampire fiction out there. Jack on the other hand is newer, and while I think the cosplay shown above isn't great, if someone were truly dedicated enough, they could make a very unique costume based around him.

Twogunkid Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Is the challenge people dressing as the characters or the characters dressing up themselves? Ā Persona may have it's fans if it is a pure costume contest, but almost everyone knows Dracula. The audience is going for it over a minimalist design like Jack.

JohnnyChany Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think there are plenty of people who enjoy the more unique choices when there is a costume contest. Jack is certainly more unique than one of the most common Halloween costumes around. Of course, this assumes an equal amount of effort is put into both costumes.Ā For Jack that means you would probably have to go full mascot outfit.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twogunkid Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Still don't see a minimalist character design from a foreign game studio will upstage one of the biggest horror icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
