Tips on throwing the best Halloween party

Tips on throwing the best Halloween party

9/30/2015

Finally, one of the most celebrated days is almost here, and you’re ready to throw down the gauntlet and take on the challenge of hosting the best Halloween party of the year. It seems like a straight forward process, doesn’t it? Step one, invite friends; step two, party till the sun comes up; step three, post pictures of the ultimate revelry on Facebook – like.

However, a Hallows’ eve party involves a lot of moving parts and if one is not greased well enough, your figurative jam is going to turn into a literal jam. But don’t panic, we’ve got you covered with this list of the best Halloween party ideas.

Time for interior transformation

When guests enter your home, they must feel a chill running down their spine as their senses are exposed to a dark, puzzling and hair-raising territory where only the intrepid explorer would dare to go. Setting up such a pretty scary haunted house is easy; all you need is cool Halloween décor, including lighting to create the ambiance, and decorations that reflect enough lighting for people to barely make sense of them.

Get flameless submersible lights, vases and red or black water bubbles. Place the prepared bubbles and one light in the vase. This will provide dim, blood colored lighting. You can situate them around the house, especially around areas people are going to frequent, but don’t place too many as this will create too much light. Next, you can hang spider lanterns from the ceiling, placing lights in them as well.

If you can afford one, a smoke machine would be excellent. However, you can also opt for economical LED ice buckets, placing dry ice in each to create the illusion of a modern day cauldron with smoke billowing out. What’s more, you can add glow cups, as they’ll complement the dark and ghoulish atmosphere.

Gross, delicious food that’s not for the faint at heart

Now that you’ve gotten the Halloween decorations down to a T, it’s time to plan the menu. While gross might come across as a word not associated with good food, the contrary can be said about 31st of October cuisine. If you’re not a chef, it’s not the end of the world even if it’s Halloween. There are easy delicacies you can make using ingredients such as strawberry jam, bread, almonds and cream cheese. These include dead man’s finger sandwiches, which don’t need cooking.

Drinks can also have a gross appearance and delicious flavor that will keep guests slugging back drink after drink. You will need ingredients such as lime or apple Jell-O and gummy worms. If this is an adult party, don’t be afraid to experiment with cocktails like Mr. Hyde Potion, Bloody Orange Cocktail or Morgue-A-Rita – the puns are strong in these ones.

The games and music matter too

One of the best Halloween party ideas is theming. Yes, we know, the day is already a theme, but we’re talking about your music and games selection. Your playlist should echo the eerie mood and can include classics such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Rob Zombie’s Dragula and AC/DC’s High Way to Hell. Remember to mix it up and also keep in mind your guest’s age group and preference – you don’t want to scare your grandmother with heavy metal.

If you’re not planning on only dancing the night away, Halloween games are a way to take a break. If you don’t have board games or cards, you can use other elements such as pumpkins and empty soda bottles to play pumpkin bowling. Alternatively, you can also play zombie catch, which is basically traditional catch with an undead twist.

If you’re not too familiar with this game, all you need to do is select one person to play as the infected zombie. Those who have not yet been infected must avoid the zombies, with the last person tagged being the ultimate survivor. Now go forth and party.
