As we hear the cats crying and wolves howling, we know it’s time to rush to the stores to get the best spooky costume. The 31st of October marks our lives’ most fun day when asking for treats is a tradition. Halloween is that day when people try to take an edge from others by styling up in the desired costumes. Some even go a step ahead of others, and instead of going spooky, choose a simple character’s look. Like Sherlock Holmes in a Halloween Trench Coat to look classy while paying the famous detective honors.
Putting costumes aside, throwing a Halloween party every year is also a ‘thing’ for many people. And by every year means they need new ideas each time, so make your life easier and party quirkier with these exciting decoration ideas!
Create The Scariest Halloween Entry
Give your guests a trailer of what’s inside by decorating the entrance gate with décor pieces’ spookiest. Buy big monstrous eyes and fake bats and paste them on the door around the peephole. Put some pumpkins with the scariest smiles and black lanterns on the sides. You can even hang some brown leaves plant pots to give the autumn vibes. Candles would spice up the entry, too, if the weather isn’t windy. Dim the bulb at the gate to make candles more prominent.
Place some boxes around the garden and put fake doll legs in them in an upside-down position to give the impression as the legs are coming out of the ground. Scary. You can even opt for a spider web doormat that gives chills to everyone with an ‘Enter at your own risk’ warning.
Style Your Hallway As A Walk To Hell
Now, as the invitees manage to enter, make them experience their walk to the main hallway as a walk to death. Decorate the windows and every corner of the house with the remaining décor pieces. Put fake rats, owls, and spiders in between the bookshelves, on the sofas and windows, and don’t let any chance spare to make people scream. You can even put bloodstained cloth and crisscrosses at different places to create a bone-chilling atmosphere.
Place a ‘Trick-or-Treat Table’ on a side and put candy jars and a black lamp on it to match the theme. You can hang some big mirrors of all shapes and sizes. Don’t leave your library and bedrooms ignored and decorate them with witch hats, shoes, or black cats. You can put the spider web table and chair cloths to don’t let people eat in peace for some extravagant outlook.
Make Delicious Festive Cookies And Cakes
When some of the public enters your kitchen, welcome them with spider magnets on the fridge and spider webs on the windows. Bake the best Halloween cakes and cookies to entertain them. For the cake, go for orange and black icing to compliment the theme or bake a rainbow-colored candy cake. Just keep the toppings the same for them, i.e., must always be spooky like fake spiders, bats, and owl faces. You can even opt for strawberry syrups and make it look like blood dripping from the cake.
Apart from these, if you’re looking to put some extra efforts, bake a skeleton, pumpkin, Pennywise, or Annabelle-themed cake. Monster-faced chocolate chip cookies are also a hit. Make them and see people hesitating to raise their hands towards them.
Set Separate Wine And Snack Bars
Put separate tables for drinks and snacks to scatter the people at different spots, hence not making the place look crowded. For snacks, you can put a bowl of marshmallows mixed with eyeball candies. Pizza bombs having olive as eyes and no nose and mouth would give an impression of a ghost. Donuts with creepy smile icing is also an ideal scary yet fun choice.
For drinks, fruit slushes, or beer, having frozen eyes as ice cubes is the edgiest option. People would put a thorough look at the glass before selecting it. Red wine jazz up the Halloween decoration system the most. Set cute tequila shots filled with red wine on the bar and a jug filled with blood-red colored sangria made with the same color of the wine. You can even embellish the cutlery with DIY spider webs, and monster faces on the outside.
Arrange Fun Activities And Games
When people get done with all of the things, let them have a breath of peace. Assemble many Halloween related scary games and activities to keep people entertained. The games can be ‘Candies Stacking,’ where the contestants build a tower with candies, and the one that makes the tallest in the given time is the winner. ‘Pin the Spider’, where a spider is pasted on the wall, and the player has to place the spider made of card sheet on the web. Extra points for the one who puts it in the center.
‘Tin Bowling’ is also a fun game, where steel tins painted with monster faces are used instead of bowling pins, and the rules remain the same as regular bowling. Alternatively, you can watch horror movies dressed in Halloween Celebrity Jackets with the crowd and enjoy the scary scenes. Playing video games with the gamer guests would also keep this gentry engaged. So, organize two separate corners for movies and games and place the latest DVDs there. Follow these ideas if you’re out of ideas this Halloween bash. Slurp on the blood cocktail and have a fang-tastic Halloween party this year!
