Interesting Halloween Party Ideas for Adults
Well, as far as kids are concerned, Halloween is all about playing fun games, gorging on some yummy party food, and running door to door playing trick-or-treat. At the same time, adults can also look forward to a lot of things on Halloween. Therefore, in addition to Halloween costume ideas, I will also include a few suggestions and ideas regarding Halloween party themes, Halloween party games, Halloween party decorations, etc. Let us have a look at some of them.
Halloween Party Themes for Adults
Halloween is always associated with another 'H' word...Horror! So it is quite common to see that most Halloween party themes are based on creepy and scary ghost themes. And to be frank, quite a lot of them are really enjoyable to say the least. Here are some ideas for Halloween party themes:
- Horror movies
- Famous horror movie characters
- Harry Potter series
- Lord of the Rings series
- Cavemen theme
- Stone Age theme
- Cartoon character theme
- Famous world leaders theme
- Famous historical figures theme
- Fairy tale character theme
- Hollywood celebrity theme
Halloween Party Games for Adults
Halloween games aren't meant for kids or teenagers alone. In fact, this is one occasion when as a grown up, you have the license to bring alive the child in you and enjoy to your heart's content. Here are some party game ideas:
- Costume Contest: Quite a common game but nevertheless, one which can be the perfect way to kick-start your Halloween party. Award a special gift to the person or the couple with the best costume. (At my friend's party the year before, this award went to a couple who arrived dressed up as Fred Flintstone and Hillary Clinton!).
- Karaoke: Another entertainment activity which can suit any type of party; having a karaoke contest or a sing-along session can be a whole lot of fun! Imagine the likes of Adolf Hitler, Captain Jack Sparrow, Michael Jackson, a Stone Age caveman, Napoleon, Batman, Bugs Bunny, Princess Leia, Dracula and George Bush, all under the same roof, singing 'We are the Champions'! Hilarious, isn't it?
- Jack-o-lantern: You can have a pumpkin carving competition for the ladies wherein the objective can be to make the best possible Jack-o-lantern. If you want to add to the fun element, rope in a few guys as well!
- Creepy Charades: Everyone knows what 'charades' is, and how it is played. However, this time round, you can have a special scary version of it, exclusively for Halloween! Include all the creepy horror flicks that you can think of, and act them out. It will leave you in splits, I assure you!
- Scary Story: Have a scary storytelling contest. Include everything from creepies and crawlies to witches and ghosts. Award a prize to the guest who turns out to be the best horror story scriptwriter.
Being a typically spooky affair, candles and dark creepy décor is a must for your Halloween party. Artificial lighting should ideally be kept at a minimal level. Opt for dark orange or even neon light bulbs, instead of the regular ones. Hang a couple of voodoo dolls in a couple of corners. Place oil lanterns and candles at strategically selected places, such that the light (and the resulting shadows) create a typically haunting, creepy effect all around you. Your goal should be to make it a House of Horrors! Buy a few special Halloween decoration items, Halloween crafts and accessories to complete the look. As far as Halloween party invitations are concerned, once again, it entirely depends upon you. You can have specially designed personalized invitation cards, or you can opt to go digital by creating a graphical animated invitation, which you can then email to all your guests.
