At an adult Halloween soiree, there was a costume contest. One woman dressed as a wicked witch with the most amazing makeup. She had green skin and a long crooked nose. She won the contest hands - down. People were in awe of how detailed her costume was. She had even made her own broomstick which added to the authenticity of her look.
A friend told me about an adult Halloween party where they had a 'haunted maze' in the backyard. It was made out of old sheets and cardboard boxes. People would walk through it and actors dressed as monsters would jump out. One guy got so scared that he ran right through the maze, knocking down part of it.
At one Halloween party, everyone was dressed as their favorite movie characters. There was a girl dressed as Hermione from Harry Potter. She got into a friendly debate with a guy dressed as Dumbledore about which spells were the most useful. It was really fun to watch them quote lines from the books and movies. Then, there was a group who did a spooky dance performance inspired by 'Thriller'. The whole party was filled with laughter, great music, and lots of creative costumes.
One classic ghost story is 'The Bell Witch'. It's about a spirit that haunted a family in Tennessee in the early 19th century. The witch would torment the family, making strange noises, moving objects, and even attacking family members. It's a spooky tale that is sure to send chills down the spines of party - goers.
A scavenger hunt can be great. Hide Halloween - themed items around the party area and give guests a list to find them. Also, a pumpkin carving competition. Provide pumpkins and carving tools and let everyone create their own spooky or funny pumpkin design. Then vote on the best ones.
A group of friends held a Halloween party at a rented cottage. In the middle of the party, one of the friends went to the attic to get some extra decorations. There, he saw a little girl's ghost sitting in the corner. She was crying silently. He ran back downstairs in terror. After some research, they learned that a girl had died in that attic many years ago. The presence of the party might have stirred up her spirit, making her visible on that Halloween night.
One adult Halloween story is about a group of friends who decided to have a spooky party at an old, abandoned mansion on Halloween night. As they were exploring the mansion, they heard strange noises coming from the attic. When they finally mustered the courage to go up, they found an old diary that told a tale of a tragic love affair that had taken place there decades ago, and they swear they saw the ghosts of the lovers that night.
For a more modern take, 'The Raft' by Stephen King. It's a short but intense horror story. The description of the situation and the horror that unfolds is really vivid. Reading it aloud at a Halloween party would create a great sense of unease and fear among the listeners as they can easily picture the scenario in their minds.
At a Halloween party, I participated in a mummy - wrapping race. Teams had to wrap one of their members as a mummy using toilet paper as quickly as possible. It was hilarious. My team was so disorganized at first, but we managed to catch up and almost won. Everyone was laughing so hard that some of the mummies started to unravel. It was a really great and chaotic experience.
It depends on the context and the couple's values. In some social circles or in a more liberal and festive environment where Halloween is known for elaborate and sometimes risqué costumes, it might be seen as part of the fun. However, from a more conservative or relationship - respect perspective, it could be considered inappropriate as it may make the partner uncomfortable or send the wrong message to others.
