Help! I need so party games that are related to Halloween?

try doing a google search

You can even do a search here. There are lots of threads with game info. Tempt you Fate is a very popular one.

Hi, we always play games at our adult halloween party, I am also looking for some new ones, but here's a brief description of what we already play:

1) Who am I? When folks arrive, I pin a name of a Halloween related person (Dracula, Frankenstein, Zombie, Ichabod Crane, etc) to the back of their costume. They are then allowed to ask one yes or no question of each other person in the room in their attempt to figure out who they are--first one who guesses wins a prize.
2) the string relay: I have the guests line up in two rows. I have two spools of white kitchen twine to which I tie a large bead or jingle bell to the end of each. This game is a race--the string goes down the first person's costume then up the next persons costume then down the next and up the next, etc until it reaches the last person and then it must work it's way back up to the first person in the opposite direction it went before (if it went down your costume in the first direction, it will have to go up on the return trip)--the first team that finishes wins--the catch is that the string must not be broken and must be continually fed through everyone's costume. It makes for a great photo opportunity--even more so if everyone has imbibed a bit of alcohol already. I usually cut the team members apart after the game.
3) Eyeball rally: Two teams line up at one end of the room. At the other end are two small cauldrons (about 10-12" across). Each team member must place an eyeball between their knees (the pingpong type you get at the halloween store) and then walk/run with the eye between their knees and drop it into the cauldron--if you drop the eye or miss the cauldron, you have to go back to the beginning and do it over. First team finished wins. this is also a fun photo op! You can also make this more competitive by only having one cauldron that the eyeball carriers have to compete to get to first.
4) Pass the Orange/apple (Blinking spider ball at our house). Two teams line up man/woman/man/woman. Objective: pass the orange from under your chin to next person in line under their chin--no hands! Our rules require that you must finish the transfer before the blinking stops, but it doesn't really matter. (we used to play "suck and blow" and transfer playing cards, but unless you know everyone really well, the germ mixing might freak some people out, so now we use an orange/blinking ball under the chin). This is fun to play, especially when the drinks are flowing!

We've also done Halloween Pictionary (make your own cards), Halloween Charades (lots of choices). I purchased a Zombie Christmas Carol book last year and I think we might sing a couple carols this year.........

I usually buy lots of misc halloween prizes, some inexpensive, some a few dollars, then wrap them in black tissue paper and put them all in a large cauldron so the winners can reach into the cauldron and pick out a prize. The prizes can be as simple as a pez or chocolate bar, kitchen towel, pot holder, to a nice candleholder or travel mug--whatever you can find.

Hope this helps--our guests really love the string game, we've been playing it for years!

Bella, I love the idea of the prizes in a cauldron. I am having my first Be WITCHY party on Saturday and I am going to use this!!!

Since we have our annual Boo Bash two weeks later and a lot of the females will overlap both parties, I want to have different things.

I also will be using the Eyeball Rally.

Bobbing for apples. Bobbing for doughnuts. Truth or Dare. Pin the grin on the Jack-o-lantern? That really all depends on your age group. It's hard to find themed ideas for adults. Kids like that game where you fill bags with all kinds of unsavories nd tell them that it is something else. Like that peeled boiled eggs are eyes.

Scavenger hunts can be fun but need to be VERY different depending on your age group.

For adults you can try different board games. We used party Jenga. Table Topics. Bobbing for Apples. A costume contest. Darts. Karaoke.

If you live where it's warm enough, as I do not, Croquette is a surprisingly fun outdoor game for drunk people and sober adults alike. Many children older than 8 get a kick out of this game. For a spin on this for Halloween buy yourself some fluorescent spray paint and spray all of the balls, mallets, and wickets. Then add a couple fluorescent lights to the playing field and you've got yourself "Glow-In-The-Dark Croquette."

Never done it but lazer tag and many other dark games might be a fun addition to the holiday.

We are doing a Name that Spooky Tune game at the WITCHY party tomorrow. I have a great CD that has the theme songs from many horror shows. I made up a sheet with the title and a graphic of Frankenstein and some monsters and printed it out on orange paper. I made 20 blanks and will do the game by playing a little of each of the 20 (several are on another CD). Everyone will have an opportunity to write down the show. The one with the most wins a prize of a movie.

I also have a Witchy shows game with a cute graphic and I will give a set amount of time---one or 2 minutes for everyone to write down as many shows with witches in them that they can think of. This can be television, big screen, cartoons, plays, etc. Again a prize to the one with the most.

Mummy Wrap
Monster's War
Random Death Contest
Monster Freeze!
Monster theme trivia
Who am I?
Bones Picker
Doughnut Bobbling
Any questions what these are or something ask me or PM me. I do alots of trivia. Years of researching the computer for something to use for the Halloween party.

Would you be willing to share your trivia?? I would really love to save myself some time!

Do a search for "horror movie poster quiz". Basically guess the horror/scary movie by identifying the altered movie poster. Or you can get some posters from my member site in the album. http://www.halloweenforum.com/membersheatherr.html
