Halloween
Movie Master
How well
do your guest know Halloween movies? Well Shannon create
this game for her Halloween party. Set up different
"homages" (create scenes) to scary movies and
have guests try to guess (as singles or in pairs) what
they were.
Examples: One of my tombstones in the graveyard read
"GAGE" - the kid from Pet Semetary,
A Cianti bottle sitting next to a plate with a piece of
liver and beans on it, - Silence of the Lambs
I had a guest register set up by the door for people to
sign in with the name Marion Crane at the top - she's
the woman from PSYCHO. If possible have 15 -20 movies
represented and have the people who score the most
movies - win a small prize or a gift certificate to
Blockbuster.
Thanks - Shannon
Halloween - What am I?
For
children, pin or tape Halloween-themed pictures on each
guest's back without the guest seeing what is on his or
her own back. Everyone gives subtle hints to each
other and all have to guess who they are (the picture on
their back) from the hints. This can be fun for
adults, too.
Thanks Alixandra O
Halloween Clue
This would be better for adults but you could invite
people to play a real game of clue. The people who live
in the house can set it up and the people that you
invited can try and guess who the killer is. The people
in the house could fake their deaths until someone
figures out who the real killer is. Try these games
Murder
on the Grill , A
Taste for Wine and Murder,
Pasta, Passion & Pistols

Adult - Costume
Scavenger Hunt
Create two or three teams depending on how many
participate in the costume scavenger hunt. Each team
will a video camera to record the scavenger hunt and
they get 2 hours (can be adjusted) to complete various
tasks and get select items.
Here are some task ideas:
Go to a video rental store and find out what year the
the movie Halloween was made.
Go to a grave yard and find a specific name on a tomb
stone.
Take a video with a Taxi or bus driver.
Find a cop in a donut shop and get a video with
him.
Go to a grocery store find out how much a specific item
costs.
Go to a home of someone that know one knows and ask for
a can of blood red soup (Tomato soup). Go to a bar find
out how many brands of beer they serve.
Find a stranger who will let you wrap them up in toilet
paper like a mummy extra points if they along with the
team sings the Monster Mash on video. And so on...
When the teams get back we have the most fun watching
the videos, especially the people who came to the party
that didn't go out on the Scavenger hunt!
Thanks - Brian - Cleveland
Build A Scarecrow Game
Divide your back yard into two sections by yellow tape (maybe 2 rooms or a basement if inside). Before your party, get together 2 sets of 6-10 items that can be used to build a scarecrow. Sample items: Hat, corn stalks, jeans, string... Now hide these items in order to make a scarecrow around each half (one side for each team). For small children you may want to play this game during the day and to make the game harder play it at night. When playing at night send out team member with a pumpkin with a pumpkin light or a candle inside), have one person from each team (starting at same time) go on a hunt to find one item. After all items are found, the team has to be creative and construct a scarecrow, using all items. The team that finishes their scarecrow first, wins.
Thanks Lisa
Have a safe and Happy Halloween! And come back for our
Thanksgiving and Christmas pages!
