what are some good halloween party themes? i usually dont have a specific one, but i mash a bunch together

any ideas?

If you mean you are sticking with one theme this year try a graveyard theme.

I have a 100 year old house, so I allways go with a haunted house kind of a theme when I have my party at my house. I know that's sort of cliche, but I look at it as a tradition more then a cliche.

cliches only become cliches because they ring true.

This may sound stupid. But I seem to be behind on everything. What is a cliche?

I want to do a pirate ship theme one year when I've got some money.
I cliche is something that everyone has said or done.
For example: All celebrities that are nominated for the Oscars say "I don't care if I win, I'm just glad to be nominated." That saying is sooooo cliche because EVERYONE else says it, it's become the norm.

i wanted to do a boothill theme this year introducing western materials etc , with the boothill graves and wagon wheels etc. but the cost was gona be too much for new props.
and people could come in western gear bar girls , cowboys etc. had plans for chilli and beers and sittin on haybales.
but have opted for all rooms to have a haunted theme just not gorey. as i have these props year in year out. everyone just is halloweeny dressed.
good luck if ya pick a new theme

Halloween Master, a lot of "old sayings" are considered to be cliches. Sayings like "It's not over until the fat lady sings," or "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Many people consider traditions to be chiches. For instance, singing " Happy Birthday" before the "Birthday boy or girl" blows out the candles on the birthday cake is considered to be a tradition by most, but a chlcie by many.

I think it would be super cool to do an EVIL CIRCUS theme!!!

There was a movie out titled "Vampire Circus." It was about a traveling circus where all the performers were vampires.

Freak circus. It's really a cool theme ;>

next year we're doing a back water woods style halloween... rusted props.. very low lit and chill and a little more violent than what we've done this year

I used to live in a Victorian house that was built in the 1860s. It had a turret room and was so cool, especially during Halloween. The house sat on a corner lot, which made it stand out even more. It had so much character and was the perfect house for Halloween and a Halloween party.
