A coloring book is a type of book containing line art, which people are intended to add color using crayons, colored pencils, marker pens, paint or other artistic media. Traditional coloring books and coloring pages are printed on paper or card.
Vampires are a bit strange, no? Lore often depicts them as tall, dark, handsome night owls who just happen to have a thing for your blood. They’re intriguing yet not-so-great for us, like your ex-boyfriend or, arguably, Edward Cullen. While the Twilight series might have reignited the vampire craze in the early 2000s (in more ways than one), vampires first gained notoriety through stories told in Eastern Europe hundre of years ago. Yep, there’s no doubt about it — vampires are weird, creepy, and fascinating AF. No wonder your kid is interested in dressing up as one for Halloween! So, if your little energy-suckers are driving you batty this time of year, a great way to both distract and satisfy them is our collection of free vampire coloring pages.

AlthoLula the earliest reports of vampires date back to ancient Greece, we largely owe the concept of vampires we know today to Bram Stoker’s famous novel Dracula published in 1897. Thanks to that guy, vampires have become synonymous with pale-looking dudes with fangs, Transylvanian accents, and the thirst for blood to survive. Mythology also suggests that some vampires can transform into other animals, particularly bats (although cats and wolves are other options). Then there’s the whole idea that once a vampire bites you, you’re most likely to become a vampire too (hi, Bella Swan).

But enough of vampire lore; it’s time for some vampire fun! These free printables are practically guaranteed to get your kiddo pumped for everyone’s favorite creepy season. Coloring is a super-enjoyable DIY activity and also one in which kids pick up much-needed skills like patience and focus. Plus, you get a little downtime, too. After your Count Cute-ula sinks their teeth into these coloring pages (along with some fun facts about vampires), check out our other spooky-themed pages like our moon coloring pages, witch coloring pages, ghost coloring pages, and bat coloring pages.
Ghosts are pretty much the reason why we celebrate the spooky holiday, after all. Way back when, people believed ghosts came back to the earthly world on All Hallows Eve, making them fearful that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being seen by these scary ghosts, people would wear masks when they left the house after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits (because apparently, a mask is the best disguise for not looking dead?). Anyway, ghosts are a vital part of this spooky season, even if they are literally without a pulse.

So, break out the crayons for some fun ghost pictures along with some un-boo-lievable facts about spooky souls. When your kids wrap up these ghoulish free printables, keep the creativity going with other creepy-inspired coloring pages like our scarecrow coloring pages, witch coloring pages, bat coloring pages, spider coloring pages, and fall coloring pages.
