Dragon Con 2023 Saturday Cosplay Highlights: ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Goes to Con

Dragon Con 2023’s biggest day is always Saturday. Following the convention’s parade, fans flood the hotels for panels, cosplaying, and cosplaying-watching. And this year was no exception! While the Barbie cosplay continues to be the most popular of Dragon Con 2023, there was also a delightful amount of fans paying homage to the hit FX mockumentary series, What We Do in the Shadows. 

For those unfamiliar with What We Do in the Shadows, the series is based on the 2014 film. It follows a group of vampire roommates navigating the challenges of immortal existence amidst the modern world (aka Staten Island). And on September 2, 2023, Team FanBolt, along with our friends from Three If By Space and Shakefire.net (our co-hosts on Nerd Herd Live), put on our finest cosplay garb, and headed to Dragon Con as Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, and Guillermo!

We invite you to share in the joy of our adventures and check out some of the other amazing cosplays we saw throughout the evening, including my favorite, Weird Barbie.
