Grim Graveyard
If you’re looking for a simple theme to intrigue your guests at your Halloween party, a grim graveyard theme might be up your dark alley. If you decide to become the grave keeper, gravestones are of course the primary decorative element to your night with your pals. Feel free to commemorate your childhood cat Fluffy or your failed youth soccer career by painting some cardboard with the name and the date of its lifespan. A hidden fog machine will add ambiance to your graveyard and lanterns throughout may add some murky mood lighting.
Willy Wonka’s Candy Factory
You’ve sent out the Golden tickets to the best Halloween party of the year with bright and whimsical décor made of candy and everything that is sweet. Just put on the best fuchsia power suit and top hat and call yourself Mr./Ms. Wonka! Candy Jars filled with delectable Wonka treats such as Nerds, Pixy Stix, Runts, and Everlasting Gobstoppers will have your guests feel like they are in the factory—minus the potential of messing up and getting dragged out by Oompa Loompas.
Mad Scientist’s Lab
BOOM! The explosion is hopefully not from your kitchen, err—science lab, but from your mind after realizing how great and easy this theme is. Bust out the lab coat and safety goggles for when you use plastic beakers and graduated cylinders to measure out the perfect amount liquor and mixers for fun cocktails! Bring out the test tube rack for the best test tube shot concoction you’ve made in your lab and don’t worry that the bowl filled with hunch punch (tested for taste before guests come, in the name of science) is steaming, that’s just the reaction it’s making with dry ice.
Harry Potter at Hogwarts
I know you’re still probably mad that your letter to Hogwarts is still missing in the mail, but don’t worry! During your Halloween party, the Sorting Hat will place you to where you need to be—with your friends of course! Cauldrons of fun punch, chocolate frogs to munch on, “floating candles,” and a Quidditch pong setup will make you feel like you’ve never missed your time in Hogwarts. Make your mug of Butterbeer and test out the best recipes for you and your fellow pupils before they come for the night!
Vampire’s Lair
If red satin and silk, avoiding sunlight and garlic, and sleeping for what seems to be years is your thing, this theme is perfect for you! Celebrate Halloween with one of our favorite Halloween Party Theme Ideas by adding black and red elements in a dim room with coffin cookies, vampire bite cupcakes, syringe shots with bloody red drinks like wine or cocktails using grenadine! Beware of the guests dressed up as vampire hunters!
Creepy Carnival
Clowns and skull décor under dimly lit big top theme? Personally, I’ll be shaking walking into this party, but I’ll be there for the popcorn, cotton candy cocktails, and caramel apples! Add a fortune teller crystal ball and floating balloons with glow sticks for an eerie glow and you’ll be the ringleader to the creepiest Halloween party on the block.
Ghost Gala
With all white outfits, you have the power to have guests be as casual or as dressy you’d like for your Halloween party theme as ghosts! White colored snacks such as vanilla cupcakes, white chocolate pretzels, popcorn, sugar cookies, and queso blanco dip will add to the cobwebs and skulls décor of your home! Drinks such as white wine and clear spirits will make this Ghost Gala a true Halloween party!
Through the Decades
Have you and your guests dress up as a particular decade for this awesome Halloween party theme! Create a playlist of tunes from various eras and if there’s a mix of different decades, have sides of the room display different times. Such as the 20s prohibition with whiskey and fancy cocktails, the 50s classic diner look with burgers and shakes, or the 80s by having bright candy table and neon Jell-O shots!
Heroes vs. Villains
This fun Halloween party theme requires everyone to be dressed up as either a hero or villain! Have green crystal rock candy labeled as kryptonite and comic themed cocktails or punch, such as a purple Joker drink or a green Hulk drink! Having an area for photos could be DIY with fun signs such as “POW” and “KA-BOOM” as a few ideas.
Alice in Wonderland
Have your guests fall down the rabbit hole with this popular Halloween party theme! Another clever idea could be a tea party theme, whimsical forest, or the Queen of Heart’s card theme. Have signs that say “Eat me” around the snacks, like cupcakes or cookies shaped like cards and “Drink me” placards for cocktails, take shots out of teacups, have Long Island Iced Tea poured out of a teapot!
