Need to compete this Halloween for the department with the best décor? best theme party? This Halloween, I bet, it’s going to be (no surprise here) Batman that is the runaway costume and theme winner for anyone and everyone who decides to celebrate. However, if you want to win the “Best Halloween Decorations” award for your department, why not do something interactive—like these:

HORROR FILMS

This works really well and is pretty easy to pull off. From The Exorcist to the Jason movies and more, there are so many to choose from or glam them all together, and you’ve got one easy theme. Using movie posters and assigning roles to your different staff members is a good start if you decide to highlight a group of films. Or, better yet, pick one film and stick with it. Imagine 20 Freddy’s from Nightmare on Elm Street greeting people as they walk thru! Here is a list of fearful films.

MURDER MYSTERY

This can be the interactive—and the greatest fun. As everyone passes through, give them clues and let them figure out who done it! Either use a Murder Mystery game or write it yourself and then decorate around it. Clue, the board game, is a great theme because everyone has played it and most have seen the film. Dress someone as the butler, another as the maid, someone can be Professor Plum—so on and so forth. An interactive theme is always popular and unforgettable.

WILLY WONKA & CHARLIE ALL GO CHOCOLATE

The movie is a hit. Chocolate is a hit. What more is there? Decorate your space just like the film, and dress up as the different kids and their parents. Give out personalized chocolate bars (we have the best!) with one having a golden ticket good for…something fun…you decide. In any event, this is a great theme that everyone will immediately get and totally appreciate, especially if you give out a favor of some sort. Get ready to be voted the most popular of all the other departments.

DEAD ROCK STARS

Rent a karaoke machine and invite your co-workers to come to Hallopalooza 2008. I don’t need to name them, but Jim Morrison, Johnny Cash, Janis, Jerry Garcia, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez, Luther Vandross, Ricky Nelson, Frank Zappa, Mama Cass, Karen Carpenter and others. Check out our Dead Rock Star Party.
