13 Cosplays of Halloween - Simon Belmont (Castlevania)

Day 7! Today, we'll take a look at the vampire hunter Simon Belmont from the 'Castlevania' series.

Here's a promo image of Simon from 'Castlevania 2.' ^^ Many thanks to Pumpkinate of Listal for letting me use this!

What to use for this:

• A blond wig
• Black tights
• A matching black shirt (use UnderArmor for best results)
• Gray boots
• Matching gray gloves
• Cardboard
• Duct tape in red and yellow
• Aquarium gems (found in the aquarium section of any pet store or the pet section of any store)
• Glue

How to assemble it:

1. Like the Sir Daniel recipe, start by cutting up some cardboard for the armor. Cover up the makeshift armor with red duct tape, then make the designs using the yellow duct tape and gluing on the gems. I highly suggest using standard glue like Elmer's because hot glue will melt the plastic on the tape and ruin the costume.
2. Put on the tights, shirt, boots and gloves. Have somebody secure the armor onto the clothes. Make sure that the armor can come off easy, so kneepads and elbow pads are highly recommended.
3. Get your wig on, grab a whip (or a rope) and now you're ready to vanquish some vampires!

Hope you enjoyed! ^^
