Vampire Ball Costume Ideas: What to Wear in 2026

The Vampire Ball takes over Industry City in Brooklyn for two nights, 30–31 October 2026, from 9pm to 5am. The official looks list says it all: vamp chic, fangs and leather, blood-splattered everything, red and black. This is how to dress for it.

The Vampire Ball Is Two All-Night Halloween Parties at Industry City

The Vampire Ball runs Friday 30 October (Mischief Night) and Saturday 31 October (All Hallow's Eve) 2026 at Industry City, Brooklyn, from 9pm to 5am. It's an indoor-outdoor warehouse festival with a blood rave, cabaret and dungeon spaces. Entry is 21+ with government ID, and there's no re-entry.

Brooklyn nights in late October are around 10–11°C (50–52°F), and part of the event is outdoors, so bring a layer you can check or lock.

What to Wear to The Vampire Ball: Vamp Chic, Blood and Red-and-Black

The official looks list includes vamp chic, fangs and leather, blood-splattered everything, Lestat elegance, Blade rave, gothic girlies, Dracula drag and red and black. Gothic costumes like Eternal Vampire and Bloodsucker cover the classic vampire, while Miss Murder brings the blood splatter.

For the dance floor, go for a bat-sleeve Halloween rave set, a floor-length black dress for Lestat elegance, or a red-and-black devil look like Bloodlust Devil.

Couples Looks, Props and Bags

Bloodlust Devil comes in women's and men's versions, which makes an easy couples costume. Costumes are strongly encouraged. Real weapons are banned and fake props must be soft and harmless, so leave hard stakes and swords at home.

Large bags and backpacks must be fully clear, and searches apply. Lockers are available, and premium tickets include coat check.
