I had a vampire masquerade two years ago, so blood and related things everywhere.
I concentrated on this gothic-victorian-blood-theme in decorations and food, and our outfits.
I had blood-filled glass cupcakes, blood in syringes, bloodsalsa for batwings, blood-eyeball punch etc. Loads of led-candles, masquerade decor (masks, fabrics etc), I had glass bottles filled with blood from different victims and labeled them as such (Girl, 15, virgin, y.1456), I made "ancestor" busts from old rubbermasks and paverpol, handed out little vials of blood as a party favor. I also built a spider room, in our bathroom, I made a huge 2m wide spider to hang from the ceiling, lots of small ones underneath and on the walls, cocoons and a severed hand cover in web, red lighting. One of my friends couldn't go pee bc it was too much spiders!
(Luckily we have other bathrooms as well).
