Need Ideas For A Halloween Party Theme?

Halloween is one of those fun mystic nights each year when anything can happen.  Sometimes though the safest thing for everyone is to throw or attend a Halloween party. Whether just for adults or bringing along the kids, here are some great ideas for your Halloween party!

Start the night out right with fun music at your Halloween party! Karaoke machines and CDs with Halloween inspired music are guaranteed hits for any spooky shindig. Hiring a disc jockey? Give him or her a list of popular songs like these and other great frighteningly fun Halloween party music!

  1. "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett
  2. "Love Potion #9" by The Searchers
  3. "Witch Doctor" by David Seville
  4. "The Addams Family" TV Theme
  5. "Zombie Jamboree" by Rockapella
  6. "The Munsters" TV Theme
  7. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" Movie Theme

Fright up the night with a neat assortment of festive foods. If pumpkins are still available, any type of sweet pumpkin treat is a big hit with all ages (just don't tell the children that it's pumpkin!). Blood-colored punch is a Halloween drink so eerie that everyone will thirst for your exotic blend. Make plenty in case a bunch of Draculas attend the party.

A great way to avoid the hassle of cooking and cleaning is by hiring a caterer for your Halloween party! Let your caterer know what direction you'd like to take with the food and watch the creative ideas come to life faster than a midnight zombie.

Encourage a fun evening with a costume party contest! Will it be Marie Antoinette or Frankentstein to take the big prize this year? Who knows! The fun begins with a Halloween costume contest. Letting the guests vote is the best way to ensure a fair contest while giving participants a reason to go all out. Reward participants with spooky Halloween party favors. Once the guests arrive, sit back and watch the fun as you see just how creative your friends can be!

Get guests participating with fun crowd-pleasing games such as Boo-Bing For Apples, Kreepy Karaoke, the Dirty Dracula version of the Christmas game Dirty Santa, and other fun games adapted in rules (and title) to fit the Halloween theme.

Create the perfect atmosphere with Halloween party decorations such as spiced cider and other candles with scents of autumn, ghoulish plates and napkins, hay and gourds for outdoor parties, bonfire material for outdoor parties, and others. Ask friends for tips from previous Halloween parties that really stuck out in their minds. Find your own fun version and run with it!

Oh, and have fun!
