Hi Everyone,

We are in the midst of planning out the props and effects for our 15th Annual Halloween Party. For the last 2 years, we had a haunted hotel themed party, with a "steam-punk" infusion for 2014. This year, we are changing it out for an "UnNatural History Museum" theme along the lines of the Ben Stiller films, combined with Raiders of the Lost Ark, the cable show Oddities, etc. One of my friends already has dibs on coming to the party as Teddy Roosevelt.

Looking for some ideas if you have 'em to share. Decor, Props, Gags, Games, Foods... We appreciate any and all suggestions and experiences that you may have!

You could do a room/wall of pictures with name plates and all and include these so some appear to have come alive

You could do a statue exhibit using maniquins (with heads) or busts and have a projector set up doing the "singing ghosts" routine (u could even use duct tape to make body forms for the statues if u can't get maniquins. ..and if u want a head on the statue just use a wig form).

And my last idea, Dinosaur exhibit...make the Dino footprint out of great stuff foam (see link) and paint it brown to resemble dirt. Place two or three in your front yard and have a roaring Dino audio playing...as if the Dino has escaped the museum

Here's some pics of the print, just outline the dinosaur foot shape with great stuff foam and paint to look like soil

Ohmygosh I have got to quit hijacking this thread...anyway I just saw this and thought it would b a great after party souvenir. ..all u need is some quick photo shopping skills (I'd do it with a night sky instead of daylight...and have your guests pose outside)...u can even add the date and party theme and border so it looks like a postcard
