I am having a halloween party on Oct. 27 with a medium sized group of friends, I was thinking of having them meet at my house to eat, then leaving and going to a haunted house/woods something like that, then coming back to my house and having some drinks and telling ghost stories, watching scary movies etc. I had also thought of having a costume contest but I don't want to force people to dress up if they don't want to, I also thought of having a pumpkin carving contest but that could get kind of expensive supplying all the pumpkins and such, but anyway please give me input/ideas...Thanks!

The age range of the people at this party will be 19-25 if that helps.

Here's some ideas for you:
- Depending on the group, have a "Bring A Pumpkin To Carve" party.
- Charades (Halloween theme)
- Make festive jello shots:
You'll need Dixie cups, jello packets, vodka or rum, water, and plenty of fridge space.
Follow the normal jello-making instructions that appear on the box, but substitute half of the hot water with the alcohol of your choice. For alcohol, you typically use the basics -- vodka and rum -- and sometimes something more exciting like fruity schnapps or flavored vodka. It's also fun to put little plastic spiders and other freaky gadgets in the jello shots. Fill the Dixie cups about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way full. Any orange (orange, apricot), green (lime), black (black cherry), and red (cherry) flavors are good for Halloween.

No matter the age of the group you should know exactly what you are going to do and have a back up plan as well. Price the scary house first and then come back and eat and watch movies, for older people this would be great. Hang out somewhere where you can get some use of your costumes, be creative with your food and decorate.

Kids games seem to go down well no matter what they age as long as people are willing to have fun.
Last year at a freinds party (similar age to yours) we played the Mummy game. all you have to do is get some roles of cheep toilet role.
Everybody pairs up (or in small groups or teams depending on numbers) one person is picked to be the mummy and one to be the 'undertaker'. Against the clock (say 1 minute or 2) the undertaker has to mummify the mummy with the toilet role. The winner is the one who does the best job and gets a prize (say first pick of the movies) and the looser (the one whos got toilet role everywhere but on his mummy) has to eat something disgusting.

We have a huge Halloween party every year and I always put out a box of "kitty litter". Mix a box of grape-nuts cereal with some green food coloring until it looks like kitty litter. Put this into a new litter pan. Now the fun part - unwrap a bunch of tootsie-rolls and put them in the microwave for a few seconds (15-20) just until they are soft enough to "mold" into turd shapes. Only put a few in at a time or they will harden again before you shape them. If some get really soft and runny it's OK - adds the the gross effect! Put a new pooper-scooper in the pan too. Everybody always gets a kick out of it!

You have already gotten some fantastic ideas here. I just wanted to add that it is so much more fun when people dress up! I'm having a party too, and my invitation says: 'no costume, no entry'. At least that way people make an effort and it looks a lot creepier as well. It's also great to see what people come up with for their costume! Have fun!

Have a punch bowl. Pour water in a clean glove and freeze. This is a cool ice cube for halloween.

Peel some grapes. Refrigerate them in a bowl of water. Blind fold your guests and ask them to take one and eat it.
Grapes without skin feels like eyeballs.
