Halloween is quickly becoming a favorite holiday for both children and adults. Halloween parties are a lovely way to celebrate the season, and there is a party for every style and group of people.

1. Night Garden Party – If you have a patio or deck, you can set up a party for after dark with lanterns or strung outdoor lights. This is great for any number of people.

2. Ouija Seance – Contact the dead and spirits from the beyond with a small group of friends.

3. Scary Movie Marathon – Choose several favorite scary movies to share with each other. Prepare the viewing room for atmosphere and comfortable viewing.

4. Murder Mystery Dinner – Boxed games are available for parties of eight to ten adults. Each person comes in character and you spend the evening detecting “who done it” over a pleasant dinner.

5. Paranormal Party – Set up experiments for your guests to test their paranormal abilities and E. S. P.

6. Monster Bash / Costume Party – What better way to have fun on Halloween than to ask people to come in costumes for dancing and fun.

7. Bonfire and Ghost Stories – Good for all ages. Ask each of your guests or families to come with one ghost story to tell. If someone plays a guitar, ask them to bring it, too.

8. Witches Night – Celebrate the night with magic spells. Ask your friends to bring items they wish to burn.

9. Harvest Party – Have an elegant sit down feast for eight to twelve to celebrate good foods of the season and good conversation.

10. Scavenger Hunt – For adults or children, roaming near or far, for small groups or large ones, scavenger hunts are fun.

11. Haunted House – Get your whole household involved in spookifying your home for guests and playing the roles of vampires, headless murderers, and ghosts.

12. Pumpkin Carving Party – This is a fun activity for families to come together and enjoy.

13. Film a Horror – Have fun with amateur cinematography. If you feel creative, write a short script or borrow loosely from a film you like. Make even shy guests be extras in the film.
