Would an ankh look good with a vampire costume?
I’m going to a vampire-themed thing tomorrow, and I’m going as an old fashioned Dracula-like vampire. Would a plain silver ankh look good, or do you think it would throw the motif off?

Vampire Costume
Um…an Ankh is ancient Egyptian and an "old fashioned Dracula-like vampire" is at best Medieval Europe. They are very dissimilar in terms of culture, location, and time period. I mean would it look good? Maybe. But if you are in anyway trying to remain accurate I would stay away. I mean it would kind of be like Wearing a Roman Soldier costume while holding a machine gun…they are just vastly different time periods. The Ankh is NOT a Medieval symbol.
I think it would look awesome! It’s so medieval and mysterious and creepy…
I think that Randy is saying that ancient Romans firing machine guns is a bad thing, which completely invalidates any advice he’s going to give you, brother.
Because an ankh is a symbol of everlasting life and because some vampires are rumored to be thousands of years old, I don’t think that it’s an unrealistic sight, but definitely not one that perpetuates a medieval vibe.
