Halloween Vampire Capes & Wings

A cape does more work than almost anything else in a costume box. The Base Warehouse stocks 14 Halloween capes from $7.99 to $35.99, in adult and kids sizes, from plain colours you can build on to finished vampire and witch pieces.

What is in the cape range

Plain long capes come in black, red and yellow, with collared and medium lengths as well, which makes them the base layer for almost any character. The finished pieces cover the classics: a womens deluxe red velvet cape, a mens value vampire cape, a 120cm black witch cape, and kids vampire capes in short and medium. Black short capes work well for younger children who would trip on a full length.

Getting the length right

Measure from the shoulder to where you want the hem, not by height. A cape that drags is a trip hazard on stairs and in the dark, which matters on a night of trick or treating. For kids, shorter is always the right answer. A collared cape stands up better in photos than a plain one, and a velvet finish reads far more expensive than it costs. Add fangs and a touch of face paint and a plain black cape becomes a full vampire.
