Top Party Advice

I need some inexpensive scary ideas and special effects ideas and tips. I’m only thirteen and have a limited budget.

Suggestions: Make a graveyard scene – Make some wooden stake crosses, paint them white and write R.I.P. on them. Mound some dirt up to resemble fresh graves and post the stakes into the headstone area.  If you still have some timber left, make ghosts with stakes and pumpkins. Put small sheets over the stakes them and place a pumpkin on top for the head.

Hang a sheet in a tree. Outstretch the arms a bit by tying fishing line to the ‘hands’ and tying them to separate branches. The breeze will make the ghost move. You can do this with black sheets or fabric for a creepy shadow effect too.

Have lots of eerie lighting, black lights, green…spooky and dark. Just buy some coloured bulbs and put them in some lamps hidden under low tree branches or near scary props to give a dim glow. Stay safe. Make sure the lights don’t get wet from rain or dew!

It’s easy to dress up a tall pvc pipe cross to look like a witch or monster.Tie the pipe in a cross shape, drape a sheet or fabric over it, then stick a full-face rubber mask on the top.

You can make a coffin using a huge box. Paint it and stick a dummie hand coming out of it.

Make tombstones out of foam, painted and decorated with funny sayings. Have these positioned up the pathway so people can have a laugh on the way to the door.

For my twelfth birthday I want to have a super cool halloween party. Got any decorating ideas? And what are some fun games and activities we can do?

Suggestions: Twelve years old? I bet you want really scary ideas! Frighten your guests as soon as they arrive. Put a ‘Beware’ sign on your front gate or door. Tape off the whole yard with tape like a crime scene.

Have a smoke machine and creepy noises playing. Black out the windows with black plastic, maybe cut some ghost or bat shapes first. Tape black plastic over the door, with a slit up the middle, so they have to climb through to get in. Make sure the front entrance is dark. Just inside the door, have a stroble light flashing, so they have trouble seeing.  Scream and grab their hand as they enter.

You can get ‘bloodied’ sheets online, or make them yourself using fake blood. Ask mum for old sheets. Hang one on the wall, and use one for a tablecloth.

For games, tell ghost stories in a dark room, and get your mum or someone to frighten the heck out of them at the ‘right time’. Before you get to the spooky stories, burn off your energy with a race to see which team  can wrap their mummy (volunteer person) fastest with two rolls of toilet paper.
