So with the season and the build slowly coming to an end I can't help but think about clearance sales and next year's theme....

We're still on the fence if we will be hosting a party next year, but thanks to so many great inspirations this year we definetly have our imaginations in overdrive.

Heres our 2015 options, in no particular order.....
1) Deadwood Haunted Saloon & Casino
2) Addams Family Dead and Breakfast
3) Dia de los Muertos


What's your theme???

Pumpkinpie, would the Deadwood Haunted Saloon & Casino be a Western theme by chance?

We are pretty set on a Freaky Tiki theme next year.

 

[pumpkinpie]

It would, and I bet if u think real hard you'll figure out who we are inspired by

I love the freaky tiki...I keep saying that's on my to do list but Missouri weather is too unpredictable and I want it to be outside....maybe I can do it in summer lol

 

[Hilda]

(fingers crossed) Mad Scientist's Laboratory!! I can't wait!

 

[pumpkinpie]

Love that theme Hilda!!! U will knock it out of the park I'm sure

2) Addams Family Dead and Breakfast

If you do...
I saw a fun Cousin It prop somewhere.
Grab those Dollar Tree grass skirts when you see them this summer. You need a bunch!!

 

[pumpkinpie]

I saw that too, btw did u ever get him finished???

 

[pumpkinpie]

If I do I also want to do a paper mache marlin and try to attempt a paper mache standing bear...

hahaha I thought you saw him. Yes. I did.

BTW, I am going to sell off many of my Western accessories after Halloween, so let me know if there is anything of interest. Would certainly set it aside for anyone here.

I usually go to the annual high school and church rummage sales around here to find stuff all year. Already hit the Freaky Tiki jackpot when there was what looked like a whole huge pile of Luau party items being sold at the high school sale. I bought almost all of it. That's one reason to have that theme next year, rather than keep storing it. Planning on using lots of DT grass skirts too!

 

[pumpkinpie]

He looks fabulous!!!!

And yes, excellent reason to pick the theme...I'll keep an eye out for your sale in case we go western

i am trying to decided what to do for 2015

maybe no certain order
pirates
dark wizard of oz
gypsy would love to create a gypsy wagon or whole village

are some of the ideas throwing around nothing has hit me like thats it and this next year we are going all out on what ever we do .

 

[Paint It Black]

The gypsy idea is really different. I like it.

 

[DarkhavenManor]

Definitely Addams Family. You could get pretty creative with games and decorations with a theme like that!

 

[Saki.Girl]

The gypsy idea is really different. I like it.

ya that is what i was thinking i am leaning toward just cause i have never seen it done and could see what cool creations i could make

oh just had a thought could have gypsy town that then leads to the dark gypsy town and use my grim reaper teller i have kinda like like and dark if that makes sencne lol
or maybe Gypsy Caravan Theatre
ok brain storming in action lol
or a gypsy carnival

 

[pumpkinpie]

Though I would love to see the wizard of oz...I'm thinking gypsy would be fa~boo~lous.... all the beautiful fabrics, the music...and y am I thinking there's a movie with an evil gypsy who puts a hex on someone....

K now u need to have someone fashion some wheels and turn that playhouse into a gypsy wagon

 

[printersdevil]

Have you seen the post on the Fortune Teller's Thread in PARTY IDEAS about the gypsy musical? All the songs and everything are there!! I also got a kick A$$ CD in my first Reaper gift of gypsy music plus some gypsy violin music form another member here.

We alternate years, even years are "theme heavy" (this year is Voodoo on the bayou), odd years are "theme light", where we pick one simple focus. Next year we'll probably do ghosts.
