Richard asks…
Halloween birthday party ideas?
My sister’s birthday is on Halloween, and she wants to have her birthday party that night.
She’s turning 15.
It’s a costume party.
We’re looking for game ideas, food ideas, prizes that would be cute for best costume, winner of games, etc.

Tip: Serve pizza, mixing 6 tbps. Of parmesan cheese with ten drops each red, green and yellow food coloring and put over pizza for a “moldy” look. Also serve punch in a witch’s cauldron with dry ice, and dessert, such as pumpkin pie or pumpkin ice cream with candy corn sprinkled on top.
Drinks: I searched on google and could only find alcoholic drinks, but I have a few original suggestions for you. Make 5 – 10 pitchers of blue (or your preferred) kool-aid, and put it in a witches cauldron. Put dry ice in it to add a ‘steaming look’. Put a caution on the witches cauldren to alert that there is dry ice in there, so watch out. Also keep a variety of sodas on hand.

-Carve a pumpkin, take out the goop and ONLY cut the top , if you want, cut the pumpkin in half, and put some fun black confetti in it, or candy. Then if you want, draw with black permanent marker on it. Make this the main centerpeice.
-Games. Keep Games handy, keep it spread out in a certain room of the house.
-Movies. Keep 1 movie on the whole night. That way if someone wants to chill, they can.
