Need ideas for a Halloween Party....Any will help.?

Question

Hi, my husband and I are wanting to throw a halloween party and we would like to have it outside in the garage, but we would like to make it interesting and use the driveway....Any ideas on how to close out (black out) a driveway extended into the garage or how to build a maze in the driveway...inexpensivly???

Answer 1

Wow can I come? I love halloween parties. I would see if first if you have an HOA check to see if it is ok to make additions to your house. HOA's can be a bit tricky at times. If you want to black out your driveway try getting some wooden fence posts to set along side your pavement and then hanging black cloth over the top. Make sure you secure on side and then pull it tight so as no sagging can occur. Try a party planning or rental store they might have arbors that you can modify to accomplish this task. Good LUck. I had a party one time and the neighbors from across the fence had a party also we had a house swapping party, we shared all the guests and food and booze. Their friends ened up at our party as our was better. Also build a man to scare people in the corner. I used old jeans and stuffed them with newspaper and make a mask and knife for him to hold. He really got people as they though he was real.

Hi....a maze in the garage could be hanging tarp off the ceiling. MAke it in a zig-zag motion. Every time someone goes in it, have someone be ready to jump out and scare them!

Perhaps the maze could be more of a graveyard instead of closing it out? We found very easy toepincher coffin directions and tombstones are very easy to make also. Might be an easier option to having to make walls and what not.

We are having a party this year as well. it will be costume but also potluck. I am encouraging all the guests to bring a grisly treat in addition to what we will have on hand.
