Great ideas...keep'em comin'. I'm gonna have the BEST Halloween party this year....Thanks All.
HeatherEve I love the barbie idea's thanks!

I've always like the idea of dressing up skeletons like "The Grateful Dead"(the actual band) and using animatronics to have them actually "play" and "sing"..um something like "Touch of Grey" or something else.

howlatthemoon...That would be GREAT!!! Would Love to try and do that but dont know if I could pull it off.

I actully had a famous dead person Birthday party, it was so much fun my friends all dressed up the list included Ghandi, Hitler,Jesus,Lone Ranger, Kenny from south park cause he always gets killed, Janis Joplin,Lizzy Borden,Bonnie and Clyde,Ted Bundy ,Jimmy Hendrix
we had a fire, and some played Bacche on the grass, nothing like watching Hitler and Jesus playing Bacche. Played music from Dead artists

If you google "weird celebrity deaths" you get a lot of fun ones. i.e. the actress who played Aunti Em put a bag over her head, Elvis died on the can, etc.

super easy, but really made a big impact.

I was at Party City yesterday (MN) and they had a fair amount of "Hollywood Party" stuff in the clearance section. Also some Halloween left, some casino/card party (good for Alice in Wonderland parties).

Everything looked great! Very good ideas. Loved the hollywood sign idea.

Ihauntu...I'm excited you had a successful party!! I'm hoping jesus and hitler will be stoping by ...LOL

A red carpet is a must, just looks good, but add chalk body out lines and dried up blood spots.
You could also alter some movie posters, photoshop skulls over the actors faces...cheap and easy. I think you could make a trophy case with a "dead Oscar," a bone Emmy, or a ear for a Grammy.

For food you could make tombstone shaped sugar cookies and put the names of famous dead people on them: Marlyin Menroe-The Black Dalhia extra

Good ideas everyone! I like the oscar cookies, very cool! You can still use the traditional Halloween party foods too, like the dead head deli meat platter. Graveyard cakes. Poisonous punch.
