Why should kids have all the fun on Halloween? Adults enjoy Halloween just as much as kids do, believe it or not. Get your friends together to help celebrate the holiday, and be sure to give prizes for the most imaginative costumes and makeup. Serve some scary drinks and terrifying food and you're all set to go.

on 11/5/2007 We have just started doing halloween parties. Last years theme was a haunted funeral. We sent out an obituary of our departed guest Helen Back as the invitation and to decorate we transformed our living room into a funeral parlor. Made a casket out of foam board. The whole house was covered with black plastic and glow in the dark webs and a pyscho bathroom. we had jello shots called suck and blows and test tube shots with eerie names.

on 9/7/2006 I purchased latex gloves and filled them with water and put them in the freezer. When I was ready to put my punch bowl out, I cut the gloves, peeled them off the frozen hand and floated them in the punch...keeps your punch cold and looks great!!

on 8/8/2006 •The Sexy costume contest keeps people coming back year after year.
• If weather permits outdoors, Try "Blood Wrestling". Like mud wrestling, but I fill a kiddy pool with corn syrup and red food coloring. Be sure to offer soap, and a place to hose off privately. Great event if you have a vampire theme.
• Peel green grapes, and dot them using food coloring to give them the appearance of eyeballs. Put toothpicks in them, and stand them up in a vodka martini with a bit of grenadine for color.
• If permitted in the area you live, a bonfire always heightens the atmosphere.
• Fog machines are now commonly sold for less than $25. Two or three on a dance floor (placed so no one will trip on them) will defiantly attract more people. Submersible foggers for pools and ponds are about $50, and look really cool when lit from beneath by pool lights.
• I found some very realistic rubber "severed appendages" in a costume shop. I mix them in with the beer bottles in the cooler.
• Make sure to have sleeping bags, cots, or extra beds. People can get pretty wasted, and there are a lot of police out on Halloween, not to mention children, if not in your
neighborhood, then most likely in the neighborhood your guests are returning to. Keep it safe. Also keep a phone in a quiet place, so guests can call home if they have children.
