Vampire Canes

For a vampire look, the red orb vampire staff is the cane most shoppers here choose: a translucent red orb in a silver-tone claw, 30.7 in (78 cm) long and only 2.89 oz. If you prefer a classic walking-stick shape, the silver cobra snake cane runs a little longer, about 33.2 in, and suits a villain, aristocrat or pharaoh. All three picks are decorative plastic props that screw together from three pieces. On most adults they reach roughly hip height, so you rest a hand on top for the pose; none of them is made to take your weight.

  1. Translucent red orb in a silver-tone claw; 30.7 in (78 cm), 2.89 oz, three screw-together pieces, decorative only.

  2. Molded silver cobra head on a black shaft, about 33.2 in assembled; the classic walking-stick shape for a villain or aristocrat vampire.

  3. Blue orb held by a silver-color dragon claw, 30.7 in; described for kids and adults as a vampire, warlock or wizard staff.

What to look for

  • Let the topper set the character: a red orb says vampire or blood-magic villain, the silver cobra says sinister aristocrat or Egyptian ruler, and the blue orb in a dragon claw suits a sorcerer or an icy, cold-blooded vampire.
  • Carry it the gentleman-vampire way, tip on the floor a little ahead of your shoe and a gloved hand resting on the top. Rest your hand there rather than pressing down.
  • Never use one as a walking aid. The cobra cane is not a mobility aid, and the two orb staffs are listed as decorative with no load capacity.
  • Going steampunk or Victorian? The silver cobra head pairs naturally with a top hat, waistcoat and pocket-watch chain, while the claw-and-orb toppers lean gothic.
  • Each one unscrews into a topper and two shaft sections, so it rides in a costume bag and goes back together by hand when you arrive.
  • The red orb is translucent and picks up light, so its color shows most in bright indoor photos and under stage lights.
  • For full outfits built around a cobra cane, from vampire noble to pharaoh, see our snake cane costume ideas.

Cane or staff: what length you are getting

A common rule of thumb for a walking cane is that the top lines up with your wrist crease when your arm hangs naturally. These props land near that point on many adults and a little short on tall ones, which is why two of them, though sold as staffs, work as vampire canes. On a child, the same 30.7 in prop sits much higher on the body and reads as a staff rather than a cane, so a kid dressed as a vampire usually looks better holding it upright by the shaft, like a scepter.

Frequently asked questions

How tall is a vampire cane prop?

The two orb staffs are 30.7 in (78 cm) and the cobra cane is about 33.2 in (84 cm) assembled. On many adults that lands near hip or wrist height, the right range for a cane pose; on kids it reads as a full staff.

Can I use a costume cane as a real walking cane?

No. All three are plastic costume props. The orb staffs are listed as decorative with no load capacity, and the cobra cane's listing says not to lean on it or use it for body-weight support.

Which vampire cane is lightest to carry all night?

The red orb staff is listed at 2.89 oz. The cobra cane and blue orb staff are plastic as well, but their weights are not listed, so compare them by length and topper instead.

Do vampire canes come apart?

Yes. Each one separates into a topper and two shaft sections that screw together by hand, which makes them easy to pack in a costume bag or carry-on.

Can a kid carry one of these?

The blue orb staff is described for both kids and adults. At 30.7 in it stands tall on a child, so it reads more like a staff than a cane. Keep play to posing, not sparring.
