I'm planning on having a Halloween party at my home on Halloween night, and trying to make it a yearly event with a lot of cool stuff to do. I'm also leaving an open invite to any Freaks or other friends and fiends from around the U.S, should they want to attend.
I'm thinking of making it an all day and night thing, leaving the day open for people who are coming out of town and want to maximize their fun...
But here is my dilemma, having never done this before... I want it to be really cool and have plenty to do. So any ideas for cool things to do at a Halloween party?
I plan on making my backyard the primary hangout place, with a fire pit, beer, lots of lighting/fog machines, food, and music. Hopefully nobody falls in the pit and pulls a Ben Tramer on me.
The living room will be decorated heavily and will show a non stop horror movie marathon with all the requisite classics. I will host a costume contest, which every contestant will donate $5-10 to a pot for the winner. Everyone attending must be in costume, and the top 5 finalists will be given away some free swag for being top dog. Number one guy or gal will get the pot also.
Other than that, I have no idea what to do. Any help would be AWESOME.
And Florida or Freaks from wherever, you guys are more than welcome to come... and you have a place to stay if you do.
I want this party to be EPIC, and to be a yearly thing. Any help is appreciated, and if anyone is wanting to make the trip you will be taken great care of. I wanted to announce it early enough so people could plan to come or plan their costumes. But it should be a damn good weekend, I hope to see you guys there.
If you want to RSVP or pledge your help with anything, just pop me an email at hotmail... which is jchurch49.
