Get creative with your decorations and transform your house into a haunted house. Put up cobwebs, orange and black streamers, ghouls, witches, goblins, and autumn pumpkins all throughout your house so that your friends can savor this festive holiday! Have your DJ to set the mood of the celebration by playing basic Halloween songs, such as “The Monster Mash” and “Thriller.” This will get your guests excited about the celebration and encourage them to break out some moves on the dance floor!
Exchange the light bulbs in your house with orange colored light bulbs for the night. In one of the rooms, make it completely black except for a small glow-in-the dark light so that you friends feel like they are in a haunted house.In the all black room, have a soundtrack of ghost screams and goblin noises playing in the background. You can find creepy Halloween soundtracks at your local music store or online. For an extra bonus, hide a fog machine behind your front door so that when your friends enter your house, they are instantly greeted with a frightful welcoming!
