Themed Halloween Party Ideas?

Question

My friends and I throw a Halloween party every year at a hall and we all have a theme for our costumes, as a group. We are trying to figure out what to be this year, some of us like the idea of being the cast of Clue (the movie/board game) and then we would like to theme the whole party around it. Maybe even have the guest try to find out who the killer is! So, I just wanted to see if anyone had ANY creative ideas....if so, please let me know. Anything is appreciated!

Answer 1

There is a really creative Halloween party game called "Nightmare".  You can find information about it at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare_(... and buy it on ebay.  It is a boardgame with a video that goes with it.  The game is run by the "Gatekeeper" who interrupts the boardgame at times and gives new tasks to do, while degrading the players by screaming and calling them "maggots" etc. - it's really funny.  Each player has a game piece (witch, vampire, zombie, werewolf, gorgon, poltergeist or mummy) and a color that goes with it.  When I played it with friends, we dressed up like our characters and all played it together on Halloween.  It was a lot of fun!

Answer 2

that sounds like a great idea.. you could have a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed party.. that could  be a ton of fun!  Good luck

Answer 3

Honestly, I don't think I can top your Clue theme.  A whodunit party would be fun and entertaining, and afterwords you could all watch the movie.  But another fun idea would be the characters from Alice in Wonderland.  That story has so many fun characters:

Alice

The White Rabbit

The Chesire Cat

The Jabberwocky

The Queen of Hearts

The King of Hearts

The Caterpillar

The Mad Hatter

The March Hare

The Gryphon

The Mock Turtle

and many, many more.

Happy Haunting!

Answer 4

Dead celebrities.

or narrower theme

Dead Comedians (every one has to do a comedy bit in character)

Laurel and Hardy

Abbott and Costello

Desi and Luci

George Burns and Gracie Allen

Martin and Lewis

Grant and Hepburn (not comedians but did great comedy)
