Halloween Party
16/f
My friend and I want to throw an awesome Halloween party but we don't know where to start. A lot of people are going to be there so it can't be lame. Any ideas?

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Well try some games like Spin The Bottle is aiways fun. When people walk in, creepy music should be playing. Later, watch a scary movie and party favors should be Halloween themed.
Hope I helped!

well, music is a good start . they say music starts a mood for anything. i think once you have the music picked out, everything will branh out from ther, depending on what type of music youve selected.

I think it depends on the age of your guests.
Obviously, you're sixteen - so your party could be more mature, possibly. You don't want to scare anyone too young, too badly.
Well, a definite must is costumes. I'm sixteen as well and I'm going to have a Halloween party this year too. My friends say they won't dress up, but they have another thing coming.
Costumes could always lead to a costume contest.
MUSIC.
You have to have music. Anything from a creepy "Halloween Sounds" cd you can buy at Walgreens (I saw one today) to your very own creepy mixed cds.
I'm a fan of food - the creepier and more disgusting the better. I saw a commerical on tv for this kids toy - it makes candy or whatever, and it looks absolutely disgusting. Something to do with splatter, or something.
As many scary movies as you could possibly put on at one time. (My party will be outside, but I'm thinking of putting a tv in my garage door.)
Ouija board if you aren't religious.
Scary stories. Listen now, this is a big one.
If you're going to have scary stories PLEASE research them before hand. Nobody wants to hear bloody fingers six hundred times in one night. There are a plethora of websites dedicated to such stories that have scared me out of sleep countless times.
Or write your own, BUT DO IT BEFOREHAND.
Unless, of course - you want to have a "scary story add a long."
But, I don't recommend that, because there are always "funny" people.
DRY ICE FOG. I think it's rad, you might not, but I do.
Hope I helped, if even just a little.

*Play a game like spin the spider, where ever it lands you gotta' kiss that person.
*Have shot glasses filled with something that would be off of Fear factor, all green and slimey (but safely edible)
*A costume to get in the door is a must.
*I wouldn't want a scarey song in the beackground because then they'll be nothing to do if there's a boring moment. Have Hellraiser or something like that playing on the T.V. in the background.
*Make a Haunted Section of the house, taking all the furniture out.
*Have a B.Y.O.P. (bring your own pumpkin) party. They can carve pumpkins, have pizza, bob for apples, etc. The pumpkin cutting takes up most of the time, and they have a blast. You could award prizes for funnies, scarriest, most artistic.
(HOW TO MAKE A HAUNTED "HOUSE")
1. Find a safe place large enough to accommodate all the things you plan to do. You can use your house, basement or yard - or if you really want to be extravagant, you can rent a large, vacant building.
2. Draw up a plan. Using a diagram of the space available, figure out what you want to have in your haunted house and where it might go. Plan an entrance and an exit.
3. Do the hard stuff first. Order or construct props, including such items as fake headstones, guillotines and coffins.
4. Put the haunted house together. Make it dark using black plastic trash bags or blankets over windows, then add eerie lighting. Include lots of unexpected scary sounds and sensory experiences to startle visitors. Keep in mind the need for adequate ventilation.
5. Use peeled grapes as eyeballs, placing them where people will touch them in the dark. Use Styrofoam heads from a beauty supply house and turn them into monsters.
6. Spritz visitors' faces with cold water in the dark, or have visitors walk through spider webs made of stretched cotton or wet string.
7. Create a bubbling-cauldron effect with the aid of dry ice. Fill a rubber glove with water colored with food coloring and freeze it, then remove the glove and float the 'frozen hand' in the cauldrons.
LAST STEP: FOOD
*Cut out sandwiches made from wheat bread in the shape of bats and cats; cut out ghosts from white bread.
*Boogers on a stick (Pretzels and green cheese dip)
*Blood and Chips (Any dip you like, and add a few drops of red food coloring)
