Founded in 1993, Vampfangs has been part of vampire culture for more than three decades.

What began with high-quality custom fangs grew into a brand known for fangs, dark fashion, couture lingerie, fragrance, tea, ritual goods, jewelry, and immersive vampire events. Today, Vampfangs is led by Benjamin Addam and Alexis Pharae, who have expanded the brand from its fang-making roots into a Salem-based destination for modern vampire style and gothic living.

With deep roots in Salem, Massachusetts, Vampfangs reflects the city’s connection to mystery, history, and magic while serving a community drawn to the darker side of beauty. Whether guests visit the Salem boutique, shop online, or attend an Endless Night New England event, Vampfangs remains dedicated to quality, atmosphere, and the people who continue to keep vampire culture alive.

Vampfangs began in Salem in 1993, when founder Scott Smiledge was working at The Magic Parlor, a local joke and magic shop that still exists today. After a customer came in asking for vampire fangs, the idea for Vampfangs was born.

What started with fang fittings in a pop-up tent during Salem’s Halloween season quickly grew into a larger presence at festivals, conventions, and events. In 1995, Vampfangs launched its website, becoming the original online source for vampire fangs and establishing a digital presence long before most niche brands had found their way online.

For more than two decades, Vampfangs operated primarily as an ecommerce brand, serving vampire fans, Halloween enthusiasts, performers, productions, and customers around the world. Along the way, the company became part of countless film and television projects, worked with major names and brands, and even embraced early fulfillment technologies that were ahead of their time.

In 2017, Vampfangs was purchased by Benjamin Addam and Alexis Pharae. The following year, they opened Vampfangs’ first retail store on Essex Street in Salem, just a short walk from where the original spark began at The Magic Parlor more than 30 years earlier.

From the beginning, Benjamin and Alexis saw an opportunity to evolve Vampfangs beyond its Halloween roots. The goal was not to abandon the brand’s history, but to expand it into something more lasting: a year-round vampire lifestyle brand built around fangs, dark fashion, couture lingerie, fragrance, tea, ritual goods, jewelry, and immersive experiences.

That evolution continued in 2019, when Vampfangs became the official licensed producer of Endless Night events in New England. Under the Endless Night New England banner, Vampfangs directly produces its regional salons, lounges, Vampire Balls, and related community events, bringing the spirit of Endless Night into Salem, Boston, and beyond through its own creative direction, local production, and event team.

From a Halloween-season pop-up tent to a Salem boutique and regional event world, Vampfangs continues to evolve while staying connected to the idea that started it all: giving people a way to step into the vampire aesthetic and make it their own.
