Halloween Party Planning 2013

[Gingerbug]

I'm starting to think Fall....and that means Halloween....

Last year I had two parties....a small dinner party called a Ghoul Friends dinner

and my larger Halloween party which was a "witch hunt". Similar to a murder mystery party but we were hunting for a witch.

This year I already know my smaller dinner party is going to be Wigs and Wine....(everyone has to wear a wig and we will have wine tasting!)

But I haven't thought of a theme for the larger party....any ideas??

umpkin:

Ginger, you always have such interesting themes!!
I've been thinking something about H.Potter... or Halloween movies.

What about a "dead man walking" party? There could be one of two approaches:
1. There is someone who is the "target" to be killed
You can appoint assassins, but the person who is the target does not know they are.

or

2. Someone who is the murderer who will be caught and convicted. It could be based on the game of clue.
