Every child wants their Halloween party to be the scariest, thrilling and chilling. They come up with new motives of dreary decorations and exciting games to give horrible shock to their friends so that the party will be remember for a long time. In this article you will find some important tips on how to arrange a perfect Halloween party.

October brings that bright blue weather poets sing about and it also brings that traditional
night of nights when witches, bats, owls, black cats and goblins are on the prowl in step with the moaning wind in ghostly tree tops.

What could be more perfect on such a night than to have the High School gang in for a Halloween party. No other party is such fun to give with all of spook Dom ready to do your bidding to add to the party atmosphere. And if you make your party a "superstitious" party you can give your games that different touch that will make your party the talk of the crowd for many a day to come. It will start the social season off with a bang.

Trim your house from top to bottom with black cut-outs of witches riding the broomstick, black cats, owls, and grinning jack-o-lanterns. Add to this usual decoration plenty of superstitious symbols to carry your party theme. Cardboard horseshoes can grace the doorways and huge four-leaf clovers decorate the drapes. In one corner suspend an open black umbrella decorated with bright orange streamers that reach to the floor. This colorful canopy will house your gypsy queen when she tells the fortunes of the willing guests.

Set the pitch for your party with invitations inscribed in white ink on black cut-out skull and cross bones:
BEWARE!
Bring your luck with you
Friday night, October 31
To Bob Wyman's at
8.00 P.M. YOU'LL NEED IT!
Be a black cat when you greet your guests at the door and hand each one a rabbit's foot to guard him well as he walks under the tall stepladder arching the doorway. Your black-cat costume need be no more than a black-cat mask and a black rope tail fastened under your belt. If the rest of your clothes are dark it will carry the catty illusion.

Usher the girls into a room so dimly lighted they'll not loiter long to primp. A long, jagged, black crayon mark drawn diagonally across the mirror will remind them that bad luck is loose in the house tonight.

A huge number 13 over the door of the boys' room will warn them of the peril of the night as well as huge black-cat cut-outs taped to the walls.

Before the party type a list of Bad Omens or Superstitions, one to a card. Then cut each card into several pieces. Scramble them and place several pieces in each envelope. Hand an envelope to each guest as he enters. By exchanging pieces with the other guests he can get the right pieces to formulate one complete superstition. Here are some familiar superstitions to use:
1. A broken mirror will bring you seven years of bad luck.
2. If you sing before breakfast you will cry before night.
3. If a black cat crosses your path you will have bad luck.
4. To walk under a ladder is extremely bad luck.
5. You'll never finish anything started on Friday.
6. If you put on a garment wrong side out it's bad luck to change.
7. It's bad luck to sneeze before breakfast.
8. It's bad luck to rock an empty chair.
This mixer will give the guests something to do immediately upon arrival and avoid any stilted, awkward moments.

Next seat the guests on the floor in two lines facing each other. Appoint the first man of each line captain. Give each captain a double handful of Bad-Luck Corn. Instruct him to lay his Bad Luck (Corn) in a pile in front of his neighbor.

The object of the game is to see which team can first pass the corn down the line and back. Any spilled corn must be gathered up and passed along. It's quite a trick to pass this much corn fast without dropping kernels.

Edward Cullen and the rest of the vampires in the Cullen Family along with Bella Swan have created quite a "Twilight Storm" across the country...in fact in many countries around the world.  Twilight has even created a new party theme of the same name.  Twilight party ideas are hot!  Whether it's for a birthday, Valentine's Day, or Halloween...a Twilight party is the way to go.

The Stephanie Meyer's books have created quite a stir around Forks, Washington and the rest of the world.  With over 40 million books sold in 40 countries Twilight is the Tween/Teen hit of the year.  The second book in the Twilight Saga...New Moon...is going to be filmed this year and is due for a Nov. 2009 release date.  This should keep the momentum moving right along at a brisk pace.

The cast of the New Moon Movie is still not decided and all us Twihards wait with breathless anticipation to see who else will join Dakota Fanning, who was cast as the Volturi Vampire, Jane.  Noor Seear has been cast as Heidi and Caius will be played by Jamie Campbell-Bower.   Several of the Werewolves have been cast too.  The Quileute Wolf Pack will be played in part by Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman.  

With the release of the Twilight DVD a couple months ago, our Twi-obssession was sated for awhile...but once again,we need our Twilight fix, and right now, there's not much to keep us in good supply other than the casting leaks from New Moon.

Look for a rush of Twilight movie parties in the near future, along with Trivia games and then come October look again for the Twilight  Halloween Party Ideas to rear their  little heads again.  This is a great Halloween party theme since it has both Werewolves and Vampires, both good and bad...two of our favorite Halloween monster types! 

The Twilight Saga has everything we mere humans get passionate about...The Undead, The bad Undead vs. The good Undead.  The sensitive undead...the forbidden unstoppable romance between the undead and the living...there's even a love triangle!  Take all the battles from within the star struck teen lovers to the outside influences that shape their daily lives...and you've got a hit on your hands.  It's a phenomena that isn't often seen, and when it is, you've got to stop and appreciate it.

The amount of web sites that have sprung up to shower kudos on Twilight is uncountable.  There are forums, reviews and even cake decorating ideas for this topic.
 Even if you don't understand what the big deal is, you have to admit that author Stephanie Meyer has started something.  We all just have to wait now and see where it ends.  If it ends.  And I, like every other Obsessed Twilight Fan, hopes it never does!

Lets have a good look on some of the funny, chilling, thrilling and interesting Halloween party games. These games can be played by all age group. If you are planning to invite all your friends and friends family, then you must surely try out these games.

A "Cat Race" next kept the guests busy. Before the party our sons had cut out of black construction paper two large cardboard cats. A string about twelve feet long was run through the head of each cat. One end of each string was tied to a chair across the room high enough from the floor so that each cat stood on its hind legs.

Then the captains of each team took the loose ends of the strings and by jerking them moved the cats down to the man operating the string. The next man in line jerked the cat back up to the chair. Of course, the first line through won the race. It was a hilarious race that left the jerkers helpless with mirth.

The next game was a relay and the guests were divided into two teams. A big orange cardboard pumpkin with a large opening in one side hung in an open doorway. Suspended inside the pumpkin was a small bell. The first man on each team was given a bean bag and told to ring the bell. Each player had one try and then passed the bean bag to the next player. A scorekeeper reported on which team rang the bell the greater number of times.

Then apples were tied to strings in the open doorway. A contestant with hands behind his back tried for a bite at the swinging apple. In a large archway there is room for five or six apples hung side by side. It is loads of fun for the onlookers to watch the struggling contestants.

The "Rainy Day Race" was really hilarious. Once again we divided the guests into two teams. A locked suitcase and an umbrella were given each side. Each suitcase contained rubbers, a skirt, gloves, a raincoat and hat. At the starting signal the leader of each team opened the suitcase, put on the clothing, went out the front door, raised the umbrella and ran around to the back door through the house to the living room, where he closed the umbrella and repacked the suitcase for the next man on his team. Needless to say the repacking and dressing was done at break-neck speed and afforded no end of fun and excitement
.
After this riotous event the guests welcomed a chance to catch their breath. While they were resting each one was given a clothespin, a Halloween paper napkin, three straight pins, and a yard of string to make a Halloween table favor.

When the favors were finished and the winners chosen, the guests were led to Goblin's den our dining room for the buffet lunch. The tablecloth was black crepe paper. A two-faced lighted pumpkin served the double purpose of centerpiece and illumination. White cut-out skulls and crossbones and large white cat-heads with wide-open mouths and eyes added a lot to the spookiness of the table.

Each guest carried his filled plate to the living room where card tables had been placed. To match the dining table each card table was covered with a black crepe-paper cloth. Scattered over the table top were white cut-out skulls and crossbones. Each table was lighted with an orange candle decorated with a black crepe-paper bow. White grave markers served as place cards. These markers, held erect with stiff cardboard standards, bore such inscriptions as "Here sits spook Tom Jones."

The food too carried out the Halloween idea. Jack-o-lanterns made from red apples were stuffed with tuna-fish salad. Open-faced cheese spread sandwiches with raisin features grinned a welcome. Wedges of pumpkin pie were decorated with skull and crossbones of whipped cream. The children were served glasses of witch's brew (cider) and the adults were given coffee.

After the luncheon all went in to see "Mike" our family skeleton who holds forth in a dark closet on Halloween night. Mike is a life-size cardboard skeleton purchased from the dime store. We painted his bones with phosphorous paint and he glows realistically from a darkened closet.

By all means give a family Halloween party. It is such a good chance to have fun and be completely natural
