First of all you need cool decoarations. I don’t know the setup of where the party is going to be, but here are some ideas.

-Turn your lights very low, make the room eerie. A colored light would be better, like a dark blue. Maybe a fog machine?

-Have fun, scary food decorations like this: http://www.fabulousliving.com/component/resource/article/584/20278

- Put fake spiders and cobwebs around the house/room.

- Play a scary movie in the background

Next you need music.
Halloween by The Misfits. (A must!)
Thriller by MJ, just change it up to fit your style.
Bad Moon Rising by CCR
I Put A Spell On You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
Black Magic Woman by Carlos Santana
The Devil Went Down To Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band
Don’t Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
Somebody’s Watching Me by Rockwell

Activities:
-A costume contest.
- dancing
-karoake of Halloween songs
- silly string fight
- have a dance off with the guests having to learn the Thriller dance
-dance competition. There can be funny categories like ballroom, tango, break dance, and so on. They can pair up with each other according to the costume they are wearing. The more bizarre the pairing the better. A popular vote or a panel can decide on the winners. Prizes like CDs or gift vouchers can be given to the winners.

Hope this helps. ;)

Why Halloween Cake Decorating is Fun for All Ages

Halloween cake decorating is fun for all ages. Halloween is all about haunted houses, carved pumpkins, and edible eyeballs. The spirit to honor the dead and trying to make sense of life after death has found its way into the Halloween spirit.

The American film makers have helped the haunted spirit and spooky figures of the Halloween a lot. Bats, black cats, ghosts, spiders, crows, witches and ghouls, everything that is spooky can be an ides that find its way into the Halloween cake decorating.

Vampires, aliens, zombies, mummies, werewolves, demons and mystical monsters these are some of the popular Halloween characters. But the symbolism in the modern times is inspired by the classic American films. They deal with fictitious characters such as Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, the Mummy and the Wolf man.

When you are baking a cake for Halloween party you can be very creative. You can make the haunted house. If you are throwing a kiddy party then you can bake a chocolate cake. Cover the cake with black icing. You can pipe in white icing to make a spider web. If you can manage a big spider on the top, try or you can go in for artificial spider to complete the picture. The kids will live it.

Halloween cake decorating is fun if you are making a cake for elder children. You can be as graphic as you want. You can use different molds to bake the cake and make them look like human body parts. Use red, orange and black colors to decorate your cake. You can use readymade Halloween figures that are available in the market. Green monsters, spooky looking aliens can also make your Halloween cake decorating all the more spooky.

There are many superstitions in connection with Halloween. Bats and black cats are a major part of superstitions. One of the superstitions is if a bat comes in the house on the Halloween day that means that it is a sign. It is a sign of spirits and ghosts are near your house or they are already in your house and they let the bat come into the house.

If you spot a spider on Halloween it means a dead loved one is watching you.

All these superstitions will help you to Halloween cake decorating. You can cut a flat cake into a bat shape. Use black icing use red color for the eyes and paint white teeth. Put those on the cake.

Halloween cake decorating can be fun to do. There are lots of things particular to Halloween such as the carved pumpkin, lanterns and the popular ghost stories. You can pick up any idea. Bake the cake, at times two or three different cakes using different molds. And you can create the entire spirit of Halloween on the cake. Make use of readymade Halloween figures that you get in the market or just be creative and make some figures yourself. It does not matter they do not look perfect. All the aliens that we see in the cinema or read about in the books are never good looking. The messier the look the better, so just go for it.
