can some one please help me?!?!?

Question

I know that it is just the begining of the new year but I need to start planning for halloween now because I am having a HUGE party this year and I need to get the stuff now...I am trying to find cool invitation ideas, like one year I did a severed finger thing but I forgot how I did it and I also was wondering about food ideas...I am open to anything so please don't hesitate to tell me...thanx in advance :-)

I have tried google and everything else I could possibly think of, this is my last resort

Answer 1

severed fingers? Fascinating.

Any invitation you have should go with the theme of your party. If you were hosting a murder mystery party, for instance, you'd want invitations to whatever event the 'players' were supposed to attend. Train ride, housewarming, whatever. If you don't plan to have a theme other than 'haunted house', then go with a standard invitation done in garrish colors (oranges, reds, blacks) and use words like "ghoulishly good time" and "devilish fun". Don't waste your time on the invitations. The party itself is where the action and time should be devoted.

As for good ideas, people are usually scared by the idea of close proximity of other people, who appear scary, whom they don't know. The internet videos where you're watching something and suddenly there's a goth girl's face staring back at you, and screaming... that sort of thing. If you don't have an elite cadre of actors waiting to help you out, go with mood setting. Invest in a blacklight.

Food is more important to having a good time than anything you'll do to scare people. Some people will not be scared no matter what you do, and others won't admit it even if they are. But bring out some good food and they'll call it a good party no matter what.

Finally, think about safety when designing props, traps, costumes, and anything else that will be jumping out at people. At a popular haunted house in my area, kids typically swing machetes and axes at their guests, and while no accidents have happened yet, it is only a matter of time. The masters of terror don't have to touch you or threaten you with weapons to scare you because they get you to scare yourself. Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Gees, you love Halloween!

Erm, maybe you could hand deliver invitations dressed as the grim reaper or something creepy (don't let people know it is you, be all silent and they'll think that death has come to claim them or something!)

For food... let me see... You can buy pigs eyeballs and stuff from butchers. If you did a kind of buffet thing, you could have some plates of 'normal' food, and some plates of gross things like eyeballs. Just make sure nobody thinks that they are really realistic looking sweets or something!

Answer 3

an idea for a desert is green jello with gummy worms or get a big caserole dish

first fill a layer with chocolate pudding then

crushed oreos( or any chocolate cookie) then

whipcream (repeat depending on how deep it is)

then on top sprinkle the oreos, to create dirt, then I'm sure you can find some kind of tombstone cookies or something like that, then have gummy worms crawling through it.

note*( you can do this in individual cups or in a caserole dish)

Answer 4

coffin sandwiches
2 slices whole wheat bread
3 slices Oscar Mayer Smoked Ham
1 Kraft Singles
1 Tablespoon Miracle Whip Dressing
1 lettuce leaf
1.Cut bread slices into coffin shapes.
2.Layer with sliced meat, Singles, dressing and lettuce.
3. Spear each sandwich with plastic toothpick to hold it together, if desired.
4.Cut sandwich into coffin shape using coffin template and sharp knife. For an even stronger template, trace the template onto a piece of cardboard and cut out.

Answer 5

Things we did at our huge Halloween parties (that we don't have anymore because they got too crazy).

1. Mannequin in the shower...people go in to pee and come
out freaked when they spot it.
2. Jello molds that are hearts and brains for a complete buffet
table
3. Dry ice around your KEG.
4. Have a contest for best costume with booze prize at the end
of the night (everyone votes at midnight of course)
5. Hire neighborhood college girls to be "shot girls" for a few
hours...they generally work for a great price and are a huge hit.
6. Bonfire with a cooler next to it with weenies and
marshmallows...also a table with roasting forks, buns,
condiments...smore stuff.
7. Have a great selection of party music favorites mixed in with
Halloween songs...Monster Mash, Wearwolves of London
Time Warp, etc.
8. Have the sound turned down, but have horror movies running
on your t.v. all night. Buy them off season when they are
cheaper. Our favorites are Rocky Horror and the classic
Frankenstein as well as the Dr. Frankenstein comedy with
Gene Wilder...but there are so many you can't go wrong.
Maybe Nighmare on Elmstreet or the Halloween movies?
9. If you can afford it have a taxi service from midnight to 2am
for over imbibers....or a basement with a dozen sleeping bags
or so.
10. The best invitations we sent out were handmade. To get them
out of the envelope, first you had to wrestle with a little of that
fake web stuff (paste to either side of the top of the envelope)
Then, when they got it out a bunch of skeleton shaped
confetti came out (place invites open side up).
11. Oh! One year we had a punch bowl with a floating ice skull
in it. I can't find the mold anymore..good luck on that.
12. Another buffet table idea...get one of those writhing rat in a
trap to put by the dip...
13. You absolutely HAVE to have one of the best costumes so
make sure to leave time for that. Hire a make up artist and
a seamstress. They love that stuff and will have a riot
working with you. You will obviously be busy that day so
ask your make up artist to show up an hour before the
party, this will ensure you WILL not wait til the last
minute and cheat yourself out of a great costume.
14. We removed all of our knicknacks and replaced them with
Halloween decor (we have collected quite a bit of jack-o-
lantern ceramics and such over the years..but even the
cheap glittery stuff works on this holiday!)
15. I was at a party where they bobbed for apples. I don't care
for it because I always spend so much time on my costume,
but lots of people loved it.
16. Dim lighting, LOTS of carved pumpkins and try to find one
of those cool picture frames where the head pops out and
says something like "HEY WHATTA YOU DOIN?"
17. Make a traditional food that people will look forward to
(Mine was my KILLER chili) I make it in veggie, hot and mild
I lable which is which and have toppings available like
sour cream, cheese, crackers, chopped onions etc.
One year I didn't do it and got lots of heck for it.


I am so worried I have forgotten to tell you something cool we did (we did this for 7 years before passing the torch)
Have fun. I wish I was coming! Anytime someone puts this much thought into a party it is sure to be epic.
