If you get it right, your Halloween fancy dress party could be the best party of the year – and definitely the spookiest! However, as with all fancy dress parties, the key to success is all in the planning. With this in mind, how do you host the perfect horror fancy dress party?

Theme

If you really want to make things easy on yourself, try matching your party to a particular theme. This way, choosing the music and even the costumes will be much easier. However, you will need to ensure that your theme is broad enough that it allows for people to dress in different costumes. A great idea for a theme would be a Halloween based 1980s fancy dress party, as arguably it was the age of horror – and there are some great 80s horror idols and music, such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller, to provide inspiration.

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with your eatables, and simply by giving your food a horror twist will you bring a smile to the face of your guests – and hopefully a few screams too! Why not try setting some fake flies into some jelly, for a real food-based scare.

The Costumes

Arguably the most important thing about Halloween parties are the costumes, and Halloween is an occasion where you can really unleash that inner monster. As previously mentioned, setting a theme could help you decide on Halloween costumes, or even better why not visit us at Fancy Dress Ball for some truly gruesome inspiration!
