Halloween makes October the most memorable month
that many people yearn for every year. This is the time to create spooky
haunted houses using different decorations, spooky scenes and props, creepy
cobwebs and gruesome garlands. However, to throw a frightfully fabulous
Halloween party, you need ideas and proper planning for your event. This
includes ideas about the items to buy, where to buy them as well as popular
films and TV shows to look out for. You also need ideas about popular games for
this holiday.

spending on Halloween is expected to hit $8.4. People that will be celebrating
this event are expected to hit the 171 million mark. Each of these will spend
$82.93. Perhaps, this can be attributed to the fact that this is an affordable
holiday. Its cost is relatively low compared to that of Thanksgiving or Christmas

important you spend money on items that give you more value.

also costumes for pets that include hot dog, pumpkin, bumble bee, the devil and
Star Wars or Lion character costumes.
Sales

affordability of this holiday, people tend to spend more. This leads to an
increase in the overall sales of the Halloween outfits. Many shoppers start
holiday shopping early, implying that retail sales happen almost throughout the
year.
Outfit ideas
There are many online
stores that sell Halloween outfits. These provide outfits that enable you to
create your desired theme. They include classic horrors, plastic

Games and Party ideas
For a Halloween party,
you can play your classic horror movies in the background to create the party
mood for the guests. To ensure that your guests are not distracted by the
sound, you can mute the player so that guests can interact while watching the
film. Films like The Exorcist and Friday the 13th will get your
guests really frightened. However, you can opt for a less frightening film that
will still set the mood such as the Addams
Family or the Beetlejuice.
Popular Halloween games
that you can use to make your party more frightening include:
