My husband made his own snap-in dental plate fangs. He crafted them to match the color of his own, or a customer's, teeth. A master with them, he could smile a fanged smile at you and, an indistinguishable instant later, start speaking with no fangs visible, having stashed them under his tongue. He was pale, gothed up, and fanged as usual when we stopped by Target for some black hair ties. As he stood, mouth hinged slightly open, inspecting the hair care items, a woman gasped "los muertos!" She grasped her child's arm and dragged her, fleeing, terrified.
