Things You'll Need:

• Halloween Makeup Kits
• Adult Halloween Costumes
• Comedic Costumes
• Wigs
• Trick Or Treat Bags
• Masks
• Voicemaster Changers
• Masks

1. Show up dressed in a conversation piece costume. Pin miniature toys around your chest area (toy chest), or dress in white and cover yourself in Styrofoam, white garbage bags and old paper towels (white trash).

2. Spend the entire evening in character, utilizing accents and mannerisms.

3. Create your costume as a lavish theatrical production instead of simply an outfit.

4. Wear a hand buzzer and make a point of shaking hands with everyone.

5. Bring your own bag of candy and party favors. Circulate through the party, distributing goodies to all of the guests.

6. Prepare several eerie ghost stories. Gather small groups of partygoers together throughout the evening and recount the stories as if they happened to you.

7. Talk to everyone and anyone. Halloween costumes are great ice breakers so start a conversation with a costume comment.

Tips & Warnings

• Use people's costumes to make mental notes about their names. People are always impressed with someone who remembers their name.
• Watch your alcohol intake. It's easy to go from life of the party to loser of the party by getting sloppy drunk.
