Creepy Halloween Party Decorations For an Adult Halloween Party

When done right, good Halloween party decorations and props can give your adult guests genuine chills they'll remember long after the party. One of the most effective ways to give your decor more psychological impact is to choose a theme. A coherent theme helps set the mood better than a collection of random decorations.

Straight Out of a Horror Movie

If you're a movie buff, this theme will be easy to create. Say your favorite scary movie is Psycho. Set up your entry way to look like the lobby of the Bates motel, complete with guest book. In the living room, dress up a corpse or skeleton prop as the late Mrs. Bates. And don't forget to put the remains of poor Marion Crane in the shower. With the horror movie set theme, details really help. Using the Psycho theme as an example, you might hang a lenticular changing portrait in your living room and label it "Mother."

Haunting Ghosts

Even those who claim they "don't believe in ghosts" still get a little spooked by seemingly paranormal activity when the mood is right. To really rock the ghost theme, don't skimp on your ghost decorations and props. Hanging bed sheets won't cut it. What you want, at least for your most visible ghosts, are specters that look like they used to be human. It's the twisted faces, pale skin and hollow eyes that really creep people out. If you have some room in your Halloween decorations budget, look into a ghost illusion prop. These project semi-transparent, 3-D figures that look disturbingly realistic. Ghost illusion DVDs will get you a similar effect cheaper.

A Night with the Devil

This is another theme that's more about chills than gore. To get the most out of this theme, set up a devil prop that's as life-like as you can find. Place him where your guests will be spending most of their time, whether that's in the living room or outside around a bonfire. To compliment your devil, pick up some ghouls and demons. Decent motion- or sound-activated animated demons can be found for less than $30. Hang up a few winged demons and leave standing ones lurking in dark corners. Placing one outside on a window ledge looking in also creates a nice creepy effect.

Once you have a theme in mind, decorating is just a matter of knowing where to get affordable, quality Halloween party decorations and how to set them up for the greatest impact. Visit HalloweenPartyDecorations.org for cheap decor and props and ideas on setting them up.

Also be sure to have some extra Halloween activities incase a game that you are expecting to take 45 minutes only lasts for 20. And do not forget the Halloween prizes, these can be easily and inexpensively assembled by a quick trip to your local novelty or dollar store or ordered online to be delivered straight to your door.

Step 7: Halloween music and sounds: there is no time then the present to start thinking about what kind of Halloween music you want at your Halloween party celebration. Are you looking for some fun party songs for dancing music, or hauntingly spooky background ghost music for a dinner party, or a collection of sing-a-longs for the kids. Also, you might want to incorporate some Halloween special effects outside with spooky horror sounds as your guests walk up to the front door. There are a lot of special music tapes or CD's available to purchase, or if your try making one on your own - it could be almost as much fun as the Halloween party itself.

Step 8:Halloween Party Favors: party favors add an extra treat of fun to any Halloween party and are a wonderful addition as a Halloween treat for each guest or something they can take home. They do not need to be elaborate Party Favors or costly and can range from a small plastic toy to a homemade individual bundle of snack mix wrapped in Halloween decoration style.

Step 9: Halloween Decorations: decorations for your front yard and house for Halloween can be a lot of fun and again does not need to be costly. You can get a lot of great eerie Halloween effects by experimenting with some horror lighting placed around your indoor and outdoor Halloween decorations. And adding in some Halloween music or ghost sounds can make some of your Halloween decorations come to life.

Step 10: Party Guests Arrival: today is the day - Halloween party Night, and your guests are about to arrive. Have a quick look around to see if all is in order and that your house is a safe setting. Keep a porch light on so everyone sees any steps or other obstacles, and make sure all your guests have a way back home after the Halloween festivities come to an end.

Halloween Party Ideas For Decorations to have a Creepy Ghostly Celebration

When planning a Halloween party it is a lot of fun to plan a theme party. Not only can you plan your costumes and decorations easily, but you can also use the theme to select invitations and help your guests pick their costumes too. Of course, the theme of a party depends on the age of the guests. Here are some suggestions for guests of all age.

For children elementary age and younger, the easiest thing to do is to have a party that will probably allow them to wear the costume they had been planning on all along. These could include a Sesame Street Monster Party, Cartoon Stars Party, and Blues Clues Mystery Party (complete with Handy Dandy Notebooks for all the guests), Monsters, Inc. Party or even a Superheroes party for the boys or a Princess party for the girls.

For older children and pre-teens fun themes may include Goosebumps Party, TV Monster Parties (guests come as one of the monsters or monster family members seen on television i.e., Munsters, Addams family, etc.), Literary Monsters (Headless Horsemen, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Dracula would be just a few of many possibilities).

For high schoolers or adults, possible themes might include: Old School Monsters - you know the ones from way back before color was introduced to television or movies (Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Mummy, Creature of the Black Lagoon, Werewolf, Dracula, Phantom, Thing, Fly, Godzilla, Blob, or King Kong for starters), Science Fiction and B Movie Casting Call (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Rocky Horror, The Blob, The Alien Machine, etc.), Clowns - who doesn't find clowns and mimes just a little on the freaky side? (Bozo, It, Krusty, Ronald, etc.), Fortune Teller or Seance (everyone should bring their fortune telling device of choice be it tarot, magic 8 balls, ouija, etc.), Dead Poets, Musicians, & Author's Society (everyone comes dressed as their favorite dead performer - a karaoke machine and an open mic for poetry recitations will add a unique twist to the night!).
