Here is a Vampire theme thread some of us added to last year. There may be some ideas for you on here.

There are also other threads linked there, and some links to member's Vampire theme pinterest boards!

ooojen, I still need to figure out how to make standing candelabras. The ones in the Halloween stores are so expensive and rather cheap looking for the price.

A_Granger's suggestion about photos reminded me. A forum member, Kelloween, altered some vintage photos so the people look like vampires. They are breathtaking. I used some and I altered a photo album for on my coffin table to look like a Vampire family photo album.

If you want the link to Kelloween's album, I can provide you with same. You could upload photos and put them in black or silver frames. That would be gorgeous!

Hilda: How would you go about altering the photos in order to make them look like vampires? I was thinking about getting some of those holographic type changing portraits, but so far I've only seen very small ones so I'm not sure how effective it'd be. So perhaps making my own pictures is the way to go.

Mogwai ~ Welcome to Halloween Forum by the way!!

I don't alter photographs myself. I was inspired by some really neat photographs my talented friend Kelloween did. She was gracious enough to share them here in an album. (I provide link to album below.) I printed them out the size I wanted, and you can use photo paper, but I used glossy modpodge painted over them to give them an old glossy, slightly smeared, look to them.

You can print them and slip them into tabletop frame or hanging frame. Instant 'vampire' feeling in your room.
