1. A Halloween theme party can mean many things to different people. It can therefore be narrowed down to a smaller party idea or sub-theme.
2. You need to decide early on what kind of Halloween theme party you want. Are you going to have an open theme where people can come as they like or are you going to narrow it down to movie characters, historical figures or the more traditional and usual monsters.
3. For your invitations, get some card and cut out a witches hat, a pumpkin or a zombie etc. State clearly that if anybody doesn’t dress up, they will be charged on the door!
4. For costumes, I will assume you have gone for a traditional monsters theme. There are dozens of costumes and Im sure you’ve seen the many possibilities when out shopping. Some good ones are; zombies, vampires, witches, demons, cats, ghosts, wear wolves, Frankenstein and Freddy Kruger.
5. Fashion some lanterns out of pumpkins and place them on the path and on the trees leading up to your house.
6. Replace all of the light bulbs with green or red ones to add an eerie feeling to the atmosphere. Light plenty of candles and spread them around the room.
7. Get some models or figures of gargoyles, witches, ghosts, demons, vampires, mummies, cats and wear wolves to spread around your venue. Also get some body parts and fake blood to keep all of your guests on edge.
8. For your music, you could play; People are Strange, Monster Mash, Thriller, Beetlejuice, Wear wolves of London and Ghostbusters.
9. To make your Halloween theme party complete, you need to stock up on plenty of sweets. You may after all be getting trick or treaters calling round!
10. Bake a cake and decorate with vampires or zombies. Get an edible licorice spider for the top. Also buy some monster shaped cookie cutters.
