Happy Halloween With Better Party Ideas

As we get older, some of the luster of Halloween diminishes. We no longer labor over costume design for months in advance. We don't go hog-wild on Halloween candy, emptying our sacks out onto the living room carpet to barter and trade with our siblings.

We forgot what it feels like to bob for apples or get truly spooked by a ghost story. Yet there are many ways to rekindle your Halloween spirit and ensure that you have a happy Halloween after all.

You can play a game to have a happy Halloween this year, whether it's a "Halloween" movie/Michael Myers drinking game with your friends or a few rounds of Halloween Jenga and Halloween Twister with the kids. If you're hosting a kids party, then you'll find that there are a number of Halloween themed games you can make right at home using a few simple craft supplies.

More often than not, you'll have just as much fun watching the kids as you would if you were playing! For some kids games, check out www.partygamecentral.com! To entertain your friends, you may even want to try your hand at learning to read tarot cards, or have a psychic visit your party.

Lastly, express your creative side by putting up some Halloween decorations this year. Perhaps your idea of a happy Halloween is sticky window ghosts, a witch on the door and some cobwebs from the chandelier. Or perhaps you can enlist the help of your kids and transform your whole exterior into a spooky haunted house.

By assembling old adult costumes and costume accessories with the help of some basic craft store items, you can really make some amazing dummies to prop in the front yard to astound spectators. You don't have to spend a fortune either. Each year add a few more items and at least one show-stopping prop.

Check www.frightcatalog.com, www.anniescostumes.com and www.orientaltrading.com for some basic decorations and www.thehorrordome.com for some more professional (and expensive) add-ons. To learn how to make your own Halloween dummies, you can get an idea at www.doityourself.com or www.scaryguys.com.
