Shebear1, I love the idea of Marie LeVeau cabin!

Milesaway 52, I wish I could do Calligraphy. I am doing a Conjurer's Consortium and wish that I had some alchemist looking charts or scrolls. Be sure to post some pics for us to see.

Now I just need a way to make my nice wine glasses a little edgier - because the plastic black ones are just not going to cut it this year,...

Can't wait!

I had good results with those potion bottle labels on my wine glasses. They are pretty popular right now, so I'm sure you could find some that aren't as bright and cheery as the ones I used.

No theme for us this year, although we're doing Lip Sync Battle as a big party game and my yard decorations are going to be Star Wars themed.

I'm going to do some more research on the symbols and terminology of alchemy, I want it to be authentic and creepy. I just bought a bunch more bottles. I'll be sure to post whatever I make

Party Like a (dead) Rock Star!
Still early in the planning stages, so I'd welcome any ideas. Looking through old threads & getting ideas from other Dead Celeb themes + someone's fantastic LipSync Battle instructions.
Debating decor... creepy haunted, ethereal heavenly, or CBGB/Whiskey a Go-Go vibe...

We are doing a Spooky Speakeasy - Ghostly Gatsby 1920's Theme. Gonna have fun with this one!

We opted out of a themed party this year. When we were still planning on hosting a party we were going to do Day of the Dead. Last year we did a Freaky Tiki and I had loads of fun with it. My favorite themed year was when we did a Freak Show themed party.

The public library I work for on the 5th year of annual Halloween parties and this year is a circus.

Have been trying to find a way to incorporate all of my past themes in to one party (cut down on costs...hopefully). Am doing a bunch of different themed rooms (clowns/carnevil, spiders, bugs, asylum, drowning/underwater) so thought of going with a generalized "scary theme". Just sent out the save the date invite yesterday, so stoked!

MissMandyLion,

I wanted to let you know that four years ago, we hosted a huge neighborhood costume party, but to make things even more interesting, we used all of our collection of Halloween props and decorations to spread out throughout the house and yard in little vignettes and individual props. Then as the guests arrived, they were given a numbered piece of paper and a pen, and were told that they had 30 minutes to go throughout the house and grounds and name as many of the Halloween/Sci Fi movies they could figure out from the decorations. We had set up 58 different movies from the 1950's camp film "Them" to "Children of the Corn", "Arachnophobia", "Alien:, and everything in between. Everyone had a blast and now we get asked every year when we are going to do that again!

We're shaping ours around the theme Murder House, based on the first season of American Horror Story

Invitations done!! Front, Inside & Back

 

[Hollows Eva]

I was going to do Serial killer theme, with inspiration from famous killers, and shows/movies like CSI, Criminal Minds, Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Dexter etc. Right now, it looks as though the party may get cancelled tho I was going to do killroom style decoration -a lot of plastic and a lot of fake blood, and a winking murder game, and some creepy details for the decorations and table. here is the invitation I made.

 

[printersdevil]

Hollows Eva, that is great. I hope you are able to work out and use the building on another date and have your party. Good luck!

 

[B Scary]

Hollows Eva -- love the video! Great work.

"London Nightmare" for me !
I will make the dark area of Whitechapel, there will be a street in Victorian times where there is a dangerous Jack the Ripper! There will also be a pharmacy where Dr. Jekyll realizes his experiences ... I started the decoration

 

[Spookerstar]

Hollows Eva I love the video! hope you get to have your party. I would be too scared to come
Xode I love your elaborate scenes. Great work!
This year our outdoor theme is arachnophobia. It is always hit or miss with the weather. Hopefully all of the web can stand up to snow

 

[Xode]

Thank's !

 

[Mystic Moon Hollow]

]Xode: Your set designs are awesome! I am currently reading a book centered around Thomas De Quincey and the Ratcliffe Murders. Very spooky stuff!

 

[dhall79]

Last year zombies.

This year is skeletons in the graveyard.

Next year, maybe sasquatch.

This is all wonderfully done; I'm anxious to see what the finished product looks like!

I'm hopeful for a full-blown thread to detail the entire display after The Big Day...thanks for sharing.
