Anyone have any Halloween party games to share?

If anyone could give me a good suggestion on a game to play at a Halloween party, that would be great. We have been playing the mummy toilet paper wrap for years, and I think people are sick of it, so it is going to be retired for a while.

Just let me know if you have any ideas.

See this thread from last year...

It was so much fun - the kids (ages 6-14) are already asking about what is going on this year...
If your party is you age - make the clues harder...

We are going to do the mummy wrap this year...

We were worried that the kids needed to be constantly entertained - but that was not the case - they had a blast scaring each other.

Another you might try that we are going to do - that the famous WormyT and other do - is have a picture place - hay bales or a gothic throne - or some corner that you can make a small scene that folks can have their pictures taken in... sort of a commemoration of the event...

I've heard photo scavenger hunts are big too

Hope this helps. Edw

Hey Tyler. I have a few on my website in the party planning section. Hope that helps!

Thanks for telling me about those games. I really like alot of them. Our party is always hard because we have a baby all the way up to a 78 year old! But I think some of your games might work for the party. And also, thanks edwood saucer, I think your game could work for anyone. So now I just have to pick one.

Several years ago I found this wacky site that had a Halloween game called Wheel of Torture. They had me at the title. I've since done the WOT at 2 parties, and everyone seemed to like it.
Basically, it's a trivia game with 5 categories. I've done Scary Movies, Creepy Crawlies (insects, spiders, etc), Guinness Book of World Records. You get the idea. Paint the wheel in 5 different "pie-shaped" sections, with the title of one category on each slice. I used MDF for the circle (wheel) with a hole cut out of the middle to stick a small piece of PVC through, then an elbow, a wooden pole or pvc pipe that's sturdy, and stuck it in an umbrella stand. A skeleton hand dangling from overhead as the pointer, and a hefty stack of multiple choice questions. The winning team won bragging rights and a homemade metal. I was surprised how competetive people got!
If I can find any pics, I'll post 'em.
