Bloody Good Halloween

Why did I decide to have a nine-person filler image?
Lysander is Dracula. (Bela Lugosi's, for pure icongraphy)
Penny is Vlad the Impaler.
Crispen is Lestat de Lioncourt, from Anne Rice's novels, in his modern rockstar outfit. Because Crispen is a rockstar who keps taking off his shirt.
Kunni is dressed as Elizabeth Bathory. And she's quite unimpressed with Cheryl's outfit.
Rosiline is Spike from Buffy.
Cheryl misunderstood what was meant by "vampire" and dressed as Edward Cullen from Twilight.
Shino is dressed as Barnibus Collins from Dark Shadows.
Paul is dressed as Count Orlock from Nosferatu. This is largely a play on the fact he's the only member of the main cast who isn't pretty. He's hardly a nosterferatu, but he's not weirdly pretty like the entire rest of this comic.
Papillon is being an obsure little whovian. His vampire costume is based off of a McCoy-era adventure, The Curse of Fenric. But seeing as, in my opinion, those are some of the scariest monsters ever to appear on Dr. Who; they can get on this image easily enough. And really, one of the most chilling serials. But that's not here nor there.
They are also just about the only vampires to appear on Dr. Who and not have anyone say, "No, they're not really vampires" at any point.
