Thread: Ideas needed for Haunted Luau/Beach Party!

Tweet

Hi everyone. We are doing a Haunted Luau and Beach Party for our annual Boo Bash this year. I have a few ideas, but I figured I would reach out to all of you creative "evil" geniuses for ideas.

We usually have about 35 to 40 people at our annual BOO BASH and change the theme every year. Beyond the usual tiki carvings, skeletons with grass skirts, etc, what would you do if throwing a Haunted Luau/Beach Party Halloween Bash? I build a lot of my own props, but I am not into pneumatics...yet.

How about a twist on the eating sushi off a naked persons body. Make a stone sacrafice alter
that looks like it's near a valcano opening ( doctored up baby pool ) Fog, ad some skimpy cloths & maybe some Hawaiian food? Fisrt thing that came to mind. Thats bad isn't it?

check out Unorthodox's (I believe it was that haunter) "I'll call him Jim" thread... looks beach like to me.

For one area you could play off the "burying someone in the sand" game - either a skeleton head, arms and feet poking up out of the sand, or else an entirely buried (unmoving? slight struggle?) body shape under a mound of sand, with sand shovels and an overturned bucket abandoned nearby. Or with evil red-eyed children or zombie babies still in possession of the sand shovels.

lots of skull tikis.

Here is a link from last year.
Ideas needed for Haunted Luau

I have a fair amount of luau music, by the way, from our non-haunted luau/beach party. If you'd like some, let me know. It is straight-up cheerful though, not spooky. "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns" for the win!

Although actually, I bet there are a number of summer, beach-y songs out there with lyrics that could become very ironic in the right context... hmm...

Plus "Zombie Jamboree" works for both, of course. And Ben Vaughn's P-S-Y-C-H-O. And maybe Shel Silverstein's "Killed by a Coconut." Oh, and definitely Lunch!'s "Late Night Halloween Beach Party".

Oh, and you could have a pig's head on a stick, like in Lord of the Flies.

This thread has great ideas in it -> Hosting a Haunted Luau for my Birthday!

Thanks for the great ideas and links. I was thinking of converting my animated pirate captain into a skeletal "Gilligan" at the helm of the wrecked Minnow. With a decomposed Skipper on the floor next to him. I have a lot of building to do, so hopefully I can get a jump start on this in July. There is a lot of potential here. Thanks again for the feedback and suggestions.
