"Next Halloween
why not try gearing the festivities toward a subgenre of the
traditional any-and-all scares? Instead of the generic spiders,
witches and pumpkins why not decorate with a more specific scary
theme like haunted ship, house or pumpkin patch. No matter which
one is chosen, makes sure to keep the scare level appropriate to
the guest list. Very young or very mature guests will not
appreciate the very scary party the way that the high school
guests might.
A haunted ship themed party allows for a lot of creative
interpretations. Purchase a treasure chest or make one from a
cardboard box and wood grained contact paper and line it with
velvet. Fill it with party favors like foil covered coins and
candy necklaces. The whole treasure can be found on the party
table as a center piece draped with traditional pirate skeleton
and purchased synthetic cobweb.
Haunted house Halloween
themed parties would be a matter of purchasing decorations
and party goods with a house prominently displayed. A small doll
house or a ceramic haunted house might make a good centerpiece.
If time permits try baking a haunted gingerbread house or
possibly buy one pre-made. Then use candy dishes that feature
the same candies that are used to decorate the house. With
spooky background house sound affects the whole theme comes
together nicely.
What could be easier than the haunted pumpkin patch? Real or
artificial pumpkins are the quintessential fall Halloween
decoration. Just use a few more of them than usual and use
cloth stems and leaves to pull the look together. Ghosts, ghouls
and skeletons can adorn the patch while plastic pumpkins are
filled with candy corn and pumpkins. Orange and black or just
fall leaf motif party goods work well on this themed party
table. Make use of these tips and you're sure to have a goulish
Halloween."
