I am so excited! LOL It's about all I can think about right now - I love throwing parties, and Halloween is such a great tie to throw them.
Meliz - Please do share the idea. I actually got the idea from these silly, and a bit stupid, dancing dolls at Kmart - the Newly Deads. We were there looking for a cape for hubby, because we were just going to do a witch and wizard (I have a fantastic witches costume), but when I saw that doll, I fell in love with the idea.
I'd love to hear about the "Body Shop" party - we plan on having a Halloween party every two years, so themes are needed.
Some more ideas I've had:
Bouquet - We're going to buy some cheap flowers from the dollar store, and spray paint them black for my bouquet. Actually, we're going to make two bouquets - one to throw, and one for me to carry.
Garter Belt - yep, we're gonna do that too! When B pulls the garter belt off, he's going to dip it into a bowl of something wet and red, so that whoever catches it gets "bloody" hands.
Apple heads! - I love apple heads. We're going to make a bunch of them into taper holders for the buffet table. With black tapers of course. We're also going to dangle several of them from the ceiling.
Hanged Fairy - Lots of people hang a dead man from a tree, so that idea isn't very original - so we just decided to make it a bit weirder. We're going to make our hanged man a hanged fairy, with wings and all.
Mel - I love that tree! It would be perfect for our party. I'm going to make a couple of them, lol.
C - You could do an "Evil Laboratory" theme, and that should be fairly simple. Just get a couple of white lab coats, add some blood to them, and whatever else would be neat, and you have costumes. You can get a bunch of jarred goods from the grocery, and use them as props, such as: saurkraut for brains, spaghetti in sauce for intestines, tomato sauce for blood, toddler jars of hot dogs for fingers and toes... you get the idea. Take the real labels off and then add your own creepy ones. Get a large skeleton, and lay him out on a table, place a dirty and icky cloth over his belly section, cut a hole in the cloth, and then use spaghetti in sauce for instines. I have an endless idea of foods for that theme! Baked Skin and Diced Intestines (chips and salsa), eyeballs (rice crispy treats shaped into balls covered in white icing, with an M&M placed on it, and a dot of black icing on the M&M). Etc. You and J could then chase people around all night, being creepy and wanting to use them experiments
Heather - I love the idea of creeping the kids out that way, too funny!
