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!

I love this idea! Are you planning to set up some kind of diorama for each room? Perhaps Mayan and Egyptian rooms, Cabinet of curiosities. Your best bet is to check out some museum websites for their exhibits. http://www.si.edu/ http://www.britishmuseum.org/

It would be cool if you could take skeletons and make your own kind of Body Worlds exhibit http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/exhibitions/current_exhibitions.html

Those Unliving Portraits would be a touch of class for a museum themed party. Great idea!

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

Your guests really made your party! It's wonderful when your friends get into the theme. Looks like it was a fabulous time for all.
