Thread: Halloween 2011 Zombie Apocalypse or Alien Area 51

Tweet

I know that there have been some amazing members on here who have done both themes. I want to do one of them for my party next year. If you have any pictures, ideas , advice about what you did could you post it here?
Cant wait to see them, I am leaning zombie but the Alien area 51 is so cool too.

Zombie Apocalypes would be great in my opinion. You can do so much with the theme. Plus, there is a lot of media support for Zombies now which sparks more interest in the topic. They'll even be in the new Pirates 4 movie. Also there is a Facebook event for attending the Zombie Apocalypes. Hilarious. Anyway, good luck! It will be great to hear all the fantastic ideas from this forum.

I am leaning toward the zombie Apocalypse.. and the facebook event that is funny will have to check it out

There was a thread on here I can't find. It was on everyone who was doing a zombie theme, it had invitations, or pictures of a zombie survival kit. I can't seem to find it.

I remember this thread as having some great ideas...

2010 Party Ideas & Plans

Here's another one: Zombie Attack!

Great Ideas!! love the Zombie Survival cards..

My vote is for the Zombie Apocalypse theme! That sounds like it would be a lot of fun to do. My daughter went to a Halloween party this year as a "Zombie Hunter"....we had a lot of fun putting together her costume....she kind of looked like the "Lara Croft" character from "Tomb Raider".....on safari....!

Ooooh, oooooh!!! Just thought of a twist you may want to consider. Since this is a party then you can be a bit funny with the zombie theme. Halloween Horror Nights had a haunt called, 'Zombiegeddon'.

Here's the explanation from HHN:

In 2010, a zombie outbreak strikes Carey, Ohio. The government then allows private independent groups to hunt down the undead, and one of those militias is ZAP - Zombie Awareness Program.

Sounds serious right? Well, it's a comedy haunt. As you wait in the queue line there is a video playing showing the ZAP guys in a training video. But, they are like nerds but they think they are cool. Think "discount". Anyways, they take themselves very seriously but they are goofs. You walk up to the entrance of the haunt their 'training center' is a crappy building with their junk bus in front draped in flag rope.

You walk in and they start to 'train' you using their captive zombies but then as you progress into the haunt, the zombies break free and it gets a bit more serious.

It was a fun and scary haunt and could be perfect for a Halloween party. Make a video like they did playing on your house in a loop to help set the mood and tease people in the invites of attending your Zombie Awareness Program.

I got a quick shot of the 'Training' video I talked about at HHN and the entrance. It's at time stamp 2:10:
