Halloween is an American holiday that left its home continent a long time ago and sailed across the ocean towards Europe. Today, it is eagerly celebrated not only by Americans but also by the British. In other countries, they are treated differently.
Fun and Halloween games for adults
What does it matter how old you are? Nobody will forbid you to play. From time immemorial, I have adhered to the principle that Halloween is the perfect occasion to awaken your inner child, or rather the spirit. (Child's spirit?) Although it is not appropriate for a twenty, thirty, or more year old to go around the house asking for Halloween sweets, there is a way around this problem nonetheless.
Halloween for adults can be arranged at home, just like I did a few years ago. It is worth looking for volunteers among your closest friends, school friends, and colleagues. Who knows how many of them have had numerous Halloween parties behind them? Games for adults are organized sober or assisted - if you prefer. Noteworthy is the project of horror films, quizzes checking the knowledge of horror themes, thrilling puns, shows of horror recordings on VR glasses (it's just a big deal!).
If it is not possible to organize a party at home, Halloween fun for adults can be moved to a club or bar, but necessarily decorated with the celebration of ghosts in mind. The basic premise: everyone goes out dressed and painted!
Halloween fun for kids
Perhaps the easiest way to organize Halloween games for kids is that kids need the least to be happy. Some scary decorations, good company, tasty Halloween sweets and that's how it flies. However, keep in mind that Halloween ideas for kids cannot be too scary (in the case of Halloween for adults, this is the basic rule). Instead of monsters melted in blood, it is better to reach for happy ghosts and fairy-tale motifs (Kacper ghost, Scooby-Doo, etc.), unless you have excess cash and do not mind taking the kids on Mondays in English, on Wednesdays for horse riding and on Fridays to psychological therapy.
So the bottom line: Happy Halloween. Games for children may be based on competitions and contests. Catching apples from a bowl of red juice with your teeth, drawing colorful monsters straight from Monsters and Co., coming up with scary-funny names for creatures prepared by parents in pictures. Other Halloween fun for independent age kids, of course, is going around the house, picking up sweets, and playing pranks on people who aren't eager to share their goodies. (Instead of smearing the handle with disgusting, it's better to wrap the toilet paper around it.)
Halloween games for kids can also be educational. Depending on their age, they will be fascinated by stories about real witches (herbalists), secrets of castles, regional legends, and myths. On Halloween, games for children will also help to spread tolerance and openness towards other cultures. They constitute the beginning of a discussion: it is like this with us, it is different abroad, and we have this and that in common.
Halloween games for teenagers
Ah, it's Halloween! The youngest and the eldest, but also the middle-aged - young people crave games. This is a specific age when minors think that they are allowed to do everything, and by the way, they are immortal and omnipotent, although, in reality, they are subject to their parents only slightly less than five-year-olds. (Hue Hue Hue). For this reason, official Halloween games for teenagers do not include alcohol or other stimulants and are calm, polite, and cultured. Unofficially, what the eyes cannot see, the heart does not regret.
On Halloween, it's still good for teenagers to go home and collect Halloween sweets. Unfortunately, having a party at home, especially under the watchful eye of parents, is unlikely to be attractive. It is best to arrange an event organized for minors or rent a cottage in the middle of the forest if the youth is sixteen years old and above. Halloween fun for teenagers in the forest with flashlights is a bomb! A marathon of horrors in the wilderness will be no less fun.
Fun and games for Halloween at home
Illness, bad weather, a house booed, extreme introversion, or other rudeness from the world/life/fate/anything - there are many reasons to spend the feast of ghosts in the apartment. Luckily, you don't have to go around the houses and pick up sweets to enjoy the October 31st satisfaction. As you may have noticed, the Halloween games mentioned so far take place primarily at home. Halloween games at home also include hide and seek (if only in the old house!), Games on the console and computer (especially in multiplayer mode), summoning ghosts with a candle and an amateurish ouija board, tarot card fortune telling, board games for Halloween.
Involve the older generation into Halloween games at home, especially grandparents and great-grandparents. They are a treasury of knowledge! People at the end of their lives are chests full of treasures. Just ask the right question and you will know the biggest secrets about the places where you live, walk, shop or do other mundane activities, not knowing that there was a cemetery, a psychiatric hospital, a mysteriously closed orphanage, or another wonderfully spooky place.
Or maybe classic Halloween dance games to the beat of such songs as Michael Jackson's Thriller or Somebody's Watching Me Rockwell? As part of the Halloween party fun at home, you also have to organize a screening of the film-music video Ghosts, screenplay by Michael Jackson, directed by Stan Winston.
Halloween games online
What about people who live in another city or country, suffer from a nasty viral disease, or prefer an introverted way of spending time with friends? Online contacts, fun, and Halloween games will do the trick! You can indulge in terrible pleasures alone or in a group, e.g. via webcams. Of course, nothing prevents you from meeting life and implementing the Internet Halloween games and games proposed here together.
How to conduct an exciting online Halloween? Games and fun ideal for such an occasion are, for example, reading mysterious deaths (you will find a lot of Polish and foreign blogs devoted to them), reading, listening or watching YouTube videos about fashionable true crimes, listening to creepypasta, necessarily in the dark or with candles, listening to podcasts about chilling events from the past and more, arranging themed movie marathons, playing online single or multiplayer games recommended for Halloween, chatting with friends.
Prank Ideas - Halloween
Halloween prank ideas can be either not very sympathetic to people who don't want to participate in the ghost celebration, or neutral. The unpleasant ones include smearing the door handle or door with a mixture of everything you find in the refrigerator, throwing eggs at the house, blocking or gluing a keyhole, scratching property, shaving a dog in the garden, hanging a sticker with an unpleasant slogan on the door. I do not recommend these methods.
Less invasive, recommended ideas for Halloween pranks include tying the door handle with the cheapest gray toilet paper, leaving a note from evil spirits, stuffing the mailbox with newspapers, shouting a scary poem, leaving a broken fruit on the doormat.
Halloween Pumpkin Ideas
There is no Halloween without the basic symbols. One of them, of course, is the hard orange vegetable, which is stripped of its delicious entrails and turned into a lantern. (The guts will do the job in the kitchen.) Halloween pumpkins ideas in huge numbers can be found on the Internet, but it's nice to be inspired by a lantern spotted in your favorite movie or series. Note, however! Halloween pumpkin ideas can deprive the daredevil of the fingers that, unfortunately, do not grow back. If you have never had fun with cutting patterns before, it is better to ask an experienced person for help.
P.S. Finding a pattern, carving out a pumpkin, and decorating a house is a kind of game. So you can start Halloween by working together with your friends. (Keep in mind that it takes some time to cut a pumpkin.) The game will win with a lantern that each person will take home.
Halloween decorations - ideas
As Halloween approaches, it's a good idea to have your party ideas more or less thought out. How you decorate your home depends on the theme of the game. Standard decorations are artificial cobwebs, spiders, snakes, toads, bats, black cats. From characters: skeletons, witches, ghosts, vampires, zombies, werewolves, corpses, sorcerers. Items: books, glass balls, knives, and other cleavers, pistols and all kinds of weapons, various magic amulets, wooden pegs and items used to kill monsters, coffins, urns, and everything related to death. In addition, it is worth dropping the cut-off part of the body here and there, so that the guests will be positively scared when they come across them.
What other Halloween decorations? Noteworthy ideas include sheets, black curtains, tablecloths, and loose materials, metal cups and cauldrons instead of tableware, a chest in place of the table, a red mouline hanging in the door so that everyone has to rub against it, candles instead of candles, lanterns instead of lamps, mirrors hidden or brought to one room, smoke (e.g. from incense sticks or shisha), looped sounds from a castle, forest, horror.
Halloween Ideas: Food
Man does not live by decorations alone. Anyway, Halloween food ideas are also a kind of decoration. This field is dominated by dishes and drinks with dark, monstrous aesthetics. I recommend all red juices, orangeades, punches, and wines to drink. Additionally, you can throw in them eyeball-shaped jellies, which will float carelessly on the surface. Dark drinks are also recommended: cola, blackcurrant or blueberry juice, maybe something grape. Use the consistency of the homemade compote!
Halloween food ideas include black chocolate cakes (with an optional almond or coconut skeleton), zombie sticks, ghost and monster cookies (you can find molds in stores before Halloween), cupcakes decorated with scary ornaments, sandwiches, and toasts with monstrous faces. chocolate figures, meringue ghosts, and various pumpkin variations.
Perfect sweets for Halloween
The best Halloween sweets to decorate your home are undoubtedly the ones made for the celebration of ghosts, and therefore thematic. In addition, jelly-worms stuck in a cake or chocolate dessert, jelly-jaws, chocolate figures, Monster Munch crisps, ice cream, and desserts with a thick red coating, chocolate pastries will work. When you prepare Halloween decorations, put the sweets in cauldrons, coffins, laboratory vessels, boxes, and other original containers.
Candies work well for Halloween, especially at a children's party. They are easy to pick up and do not interfere with the fun. In addition, all small sweets are perfect Halloween sweets to give to ghosts walking around houses. Thanks to them, you will not spend a lot of money on fees for the lack of pranks on the part of party people, and you will also take part in the holiday yourself. Such Halloween sweets are not only candies but also miniature packages of jelly beans available as part of collective packages.
Halloween Ideas: Costumes
So the house is already decorated, food prepared for Halloween. Your disguise ideas will come to your mind in the meantime. If you celebrate with your partner, set a common theme - it will be more fun. The simplest and least demanding disguises include black and white blouses, pants, accessories. However, it is worth doing something more, especially if you are brave. A trip to a second-hand shop will make your Halloween outfit ideas come true without fear of damaging your clothes. Black or red paint on white fabric? Cut or torn fragments? Made-to-measure items? Why not!
I don't really like the idea that Halloween outfit ideas are sexy. Since it's a ghost festival, the disguise should be scary. I prefer a zombie, witch, or monster, not a cheerleader, star, or fairy tale character. In addition, I prefer non-ideal Halloween costumes made by myself, e.g. based on luxury ones, then rented or purchased.
Halloween Ideas: Makeup
Once you've figured out your disguise, it's time for some Halloween ideas: makeup! Of course, you will paint your face to match it with the rest. I recommend buying a cheap eyeshadow palette with a large number of colors, possibly crayons or face paints for children. Flour works well as a white color, although it drops over time and there is not much left of it at the end of the party. Plus lipsticks, eyeliners, stickers.
Ambitious Halloween makeup ideas include the use of silicone and various masses. For example, my Halloween makeup a few years ago was based on green-gray flakes of skin peeling off my face, made of liquid latex (it was, of course, zombie makeup). An alternative is to use soaked wipes attached to the skin with glue.
Other Halloween face painting ideas involve the use of fake blood (liquid or spray), wax, charcoal (or black eyeshadow). Ready-made accessories include wigs, stick-on wounds and scars, vampire teeth, and glued-on werewolf hair.
How are you used to and/or plan to celebrate Halloween this year?
