Themes
Classic haunted house (orange, black and purple) is the most popular and easiest to decorate. Witches and wizards works well for adults. Monsters and creatures is great for kids. A simple fancy dress requirement on the invitation sets the tone.
Decorations
Carved pumpkins (use our free pumpkin labels), cobwebs, battery tea lights and black and orange balloons are the essentials. A dramatic entrance is worth the effort — cobweb door curtains, a wreath and spooky signs set the mood before guests even get inside.
Games
For kids: a sweet hunt, pin the tail on the black cat, and trick or treating around the street. For adults: a horror film quiz, a murder mystery, or a pumpkin carving competition.
