halloween party activities

we have a big haloween party every year, and i really feel like i need to step it up this year. any ideas for games / activities? we were thinking of getting a karoke machine. it is in our garage (6 car, very large, very decorated) and outside. help! a nemesis is having a party too and mine needs to kick hers a*s!

Re: halloween party activities

  • we did a halloween themed charades a couple of years ago, but the catch was that each word or phrase was inside of a filled balloon, so you had to pop the balloon in order to get to your action. we had teams and you only had a certain amount of time to pop the balloon, act out the action, and get your team to guess. it was pretty hilarious watching some people try to pop their balloons. 
  • Is this party for adults or families (kids)?

    I would try to make your party a theme (Vampire?), or just require everyone dresses in costume! 

    I would def. do a halloween costume contest with prizes, beer pong or cornhole tournaments, ouiji board, love the karaoke idea!  You could also have classic horror movies playing in one room.

  • I like the karaoke idea, especially if you think your crowd will be into it.

    How about stepping it up with props (blow up guitars and mics) and draping some fabric to set up a "stage"?

    Or maybe you can try to encourage Halloween-themed songs: Monster Mash, Thriller, etc.

    Good luck with the nemesis!  Blast the music.  :) 

  • I wanted to add some new elements to my halloween party this year too.  I am doing a costume contest with prizes.  I also wanted to do a horror movie trivia game.  I searched all over for something and bought Horrorrivia but it's just OK.  I was thinking of making my own!
