‘Creative Grown-Up Halloween Party Ideas’ Nanette Reynolds
Creative Halloween theme ideas
Scary or funny or a combination of both, once you decide on a central theme you can focus your energies on creating decorations in service of the story you are telling, with an eye to where they will make an impact in your space. So whether your party is based on a movie or a fairy tale, a haunted mansion or a spooky graveyard, a real-life crime story or murder mystery novel, your guests will be happily spooked.

I agree that picking a theme is important. We went with the spooky graveyard theme this year, and anything that crawls around in a graveyard. Adults and children can have so much together! This is the one time my kids don’t think I’m crazy for wearing a wig. And we did light candles on the porch but at the far end out of everyone’s reach. I am realizing that we don’t need much in the way of decorations to scare kids. Just the hint of something will send them running!
