Just about everyone loves a great Halloween party. Even people who don’t like to wear a costume love Halloween parties because they get to see what everyone else is wearing! However, nobody likes to plan it because picking a theme can be challenging. We’re going to help you by discussing some of the best Halloween party themes around.
While you’re still planning your party, it’s important to remember the importance of great background music. You need to set the tone to help everyone get in the mood to enjoy the festivities.
Here are some of our favorite Halloween party themes, along with tracks of ambient music that will be a perfect fit.
Haunted House
This is an old Halloween theme, but it’s a good one. Let your guests dress up as ghosts, goblins, vampires and bats with a Haunted House theme. They can mirror the vampires from Twilight, the witches from Hocus Pocus or the characters from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or any other scary person (or thing!) you might find in a haunted house.
Super Hero Theme
Many of the most popular movies over the last decade are about super heroes. That puts the super hero theme at the top of any list of good Halloween ideas. Of course, you are liable to see Superman and Batman, but you might also find out who the real comic book fans are when your friend show up as one of the more obscure super heroes.
You can even extend the theme and tell people to come as the person who has been their own personal super hero and inspired them at some time in their life.
The Walking Dead / Zombies
One of the most popular shows on television these days is The Walking Dead, which makes zombies a cool Halloween party idea. You can celebrate the start of the new season of the tv show and the holiday all at the same time with a zombie Halloween party. You know your friends and co-workers have been dying to see what they would look like as a zombie. As an added bonus, you can hire a makeup artist and let people get their faces made up as part of the fun.
Cartoon Characters
