Thread: Theme change... ideas needed for Hellbillies

Tweet

Okay, so we have decided to change our theme...again. LOL We were sitting around thinking about ideas and the idea of hillbillies came up. I of course quickly changed it to the Hellbillies. I have many ideas, but I need some more. If anyone has any ideas that I can do to make my party decorations more HELLbilly then just Hillbilly, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Pirate Chris

Zombie hillbilly comes to mind.

Banjos. You should have some banjo music playing somewhere. no teeth, barfoot pregnant brides, groom with cut off sleeves on suit and no teeth, all with a hell like twist of course

Why shoo Pirate Chris you'en just dally on over to my neck of da woods and we's will shows you all da Hellbillies you could ever set your little peepers on for ins=par-ration!

OK, let's see...jugs of moonshine with "poison" symbols on them, a campfire with "something" roasting on the spit, a clothesline, (preferably with the washer outside on the lawn), an old man/woman sitting in a rocking chair with a shotgun across their lap, definitely banjo music (like Deliverance), maybe an old pickup truck with "something" moving moaning and groaning under a tarp in the back...


I keep thinking of the Country Bears exhibit at Disney gone bad!!!

You definitely need a geek! That old sideshow standby that used to eat live chickens. That pretty much defines "hellbilly" for me.

A clothesline with socks, underware, flannel shirts and acid washed jeans all with blood on them. Lots of hubcaps laying around with a Hell Hound tied up next to it foaming at the mouth. You could get a huge refrigerator box and make an outhouse (complete with crescent moon on the door) and some sort of pop out or zombie inside on the hopper. Make a fake moonshine still with some fog around it and a scary zombie hellbilly character guarding it with a gun. Serve all of the drinks out of mason jars. You have to have Spam, bologna, squirt cheese and Vennia Sausages on the menu. For a costume awards you could have the Trailer Park King & Queen or The Double Wide Duke & Dutchess. For party prizes you could give Harley shirts, Jerry Springers Biography, Tabloid Magazines, Cans of Spam.

Well, this is not really my field of knowledge, and maybe I'll sound like a cliché, but I would take inspiration from movies such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre or anything else about Ed Gein ... To me that's what comes to my mind about "Hellbillies": deranged mad country bumpkin!

Im thinking like Texas Chainsaw Massacr meets Wrong Turn. red neck cannabiles.

Hellbillies with deformities, 1 or 3 eyes, arms legs, in the wrong places etc.
