Scary Halloween Games for Everyone

Scary Movie
If you have an all adults party, then this one of the creative and scary Halloween party games for adults. Make a few index cards out of paper and write a really scary line on each index card. Ask the guests to sit in a circle in a dark room. Each of the guests picks an index card, around which a storyline has to be developed. The first guest starts making a story with his scary line in it. The second guest picks up the story from where the first one left. He then develops the story around his own scary line. Thus, the game continues, with each guest adding his own story to the original one. At the end you will have a movie script that will put any Hollywood scary movie to shame! If not, you will have some outrageously funny stuff to laugh about!

Murder in the Dark
This scary Halloween game is good for kids or a small group of adults. Make some paper chits and write 'Murderer' on one chit while keep the rest blank. Fold them neatly and put them in a hat. Ask your guests to pick one chit each. Turn the lights off. The murderer puts on a mask and goes out on a hunt for his victims with a flashlight. The players hide away from the murderer. The murderer looks for the other players and whispers 'you are dead' in the victim's ear. The victim then goes and lies down in a room designated as a 'morgue'. All the victims go to this room and lie in rows as they are being caught. The last person to get caught is the winner. This game is not suitable for larger groups of adults as the early victims may get bored.

Total Recall
If you are looking for fun games for small kids, that won't leave them petrified for days, then this one is good. Take a tray and place random objects in it, such as three knives, a skull, two ketchup bottle (resembling blood), a denture etc. Display the items to the kids for half a minute and then put it away. Now ask the participants to recall all the items in the tray along with their count. The kid who gets all the items correct is declared as a winner and gets a prize of candy bag.

Scary Story
A good Halloween game for adults is to have all the guests seated in a dark, eerie room. Start telling them a really scary story with lots of special effects in the background. Then, encourage your guests to come up with their own ghost stories. They may also narrate a particularly eerie experience they had. In the end, when all the guests have narrated their stories, ask them to vote for the scariest story. The storyteller gets a prize of a hat or a goodies bag.

Special effects is the heart of any Halloween party. Hence, hire a sound system and play some spooky music in the background while your guests play games. Decorate your house, so as to give it a haunted look. Ask a friend to make a special appearance in horrifying Halloween costume for a kids' party.
