🦇 Lord Ruthven Victorian Vampire Costume – 19th-Century Gothic Ensemble for Theater, Halloween & Cosplay
Vampires have captivated and haunted imaginations long before Bram Stoker’s Dracula—and in 1816, a darker figure took the spotlight: Lord Ruthven, the first literary vampire. Introduced in The Vampire by Dr. John William Polidori, Lord Ruthven was inspired by Lord Byron and portrayed as a charming yet sinister figure who helped shape the vampire mythos well before Dracula’s debut.
Our Victorian Vampire Costume draws inspiration from this iconic Gothic figure, combining historical accuracy with dramatic flair. Whether you’re performing on stage, attending a masquerade, or portraying an elegant creature of the night, this refined ensemble allows you to embody the eerie sophistication of 19th-century vampire lore.

Costume is excellent! Exceeded expectations, except the glasses didn’t have nose rests and fit very oddly, so we purchased a pair separately. We accidentally received the incorrect style of shirt, and the seller was incredibly quick to send out the correct shirt — same day! Hat is particularly high quality, I strongly suggest the larger size hat if you are planning to wear a wig underneath. Paying extra for the accessories was worth it!
