Costumes
- Everyone becomes a zombie for the night!
Help out your intended guests with some suggestions on
zombie costumes and makeup.
Halloween Online has a
very useful article on zombie costumes and makeup. Old,
worn out clothes, deathly grey make-up, sunken looking
eyes, and messy hair make the look. Use a grey colored
hair spray to make your hair look fresh from the grave!
Decorations
- Make a centerpiece pile for your table using body
parts, such as hands, legs, feet, brains and other
things that you'll find in Halloween costume stores and
mass retailers. Replacing
the regular light bulbs in your lamps with green colored
bulbs are a great way to help boost the zombie mood. Use
green and black helium filled balloons.
Refreshments
- Jell-O brain molds are a great touch to the other
treats being served. You can also make "fingers' using
canned pizza crust and serve pizza sauce as dipping
sauce. Green grapes mixed in vanilla pudding also
makes an appetizing zombie treat. Also serve standard
chips, fresh veggies and plenty of dip and salsa. Green apple or lime flavored Halloween punch served in
a skull or skeleton style punch bowl or a glowing green
punch using the instructions from
Halloween Online.
Music
- Dark gothic music is just what this type of party
needs and both Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana have
the right stuff. For dancing, use some new wave or surf
music to kick the party into gear. See our
Entertainment section
for more suggestions.
Entertainment
- Play zombie movies on your television for background
entertainment. The original "Night of the Living Dead",
"Return of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead"
movies are all great choices. For lots of Halloween
party game suggestions visit the
Halloween Games 101

Welcome to the party of the living dead! This can be a truly fun
party, everyone dresses as a zombie, you serve food shaped like body
parts, stumble-dance to some cool zombie horror tunes and have a
great night. Send out invitations shaped like tombstones letting
everyone know that the theme is "Zombie Invasion". The tableware set
to the right makes a great addition to your party table. Add some
tombstones in corners with Spanish moss around them, give the room
the party will be held in a graveyard feel. Make sure that you lay a
few disposable cameras around so your "zombies" can record the fun
for later viewing. This is a great theme because you can get away
with clothes you may already have and some make-up for your costume.
