Things You’ll Need

Friends with video cameras

Free printable Halloween Film Contest voting cards (pdf)

A Prize - either a trophy or our free printable award certificate (pdf)

Setting Up the Game

Ask your friends to create a short film, 5 minutes or less, about something related to Halloween and bring the DVD to your party.

Be sure to let them know this is a contest and that they will be judged on creativity, quality, and audience scoring.

Here are some ideas to help you and your friends!

-You’re in a bathroom but you can’t get your costume off fast enough

-You’re the only one at a party without a costume

-The costume you ordered was the wrong size

-Your take on a classic scary Halloween tale

-Scaring the pants off someone

If you’re getting a trophy, be sure to allow enough time for delivery before your event.

Playing the Game

Watch all the videos with everyone! After you’re done, pass around the scoring cards. Tell the audience to vote based on creativity, quality, and how much they liked the film. Also tell them not to write their names on their voting cards.

Tally the votes using 3 points for 1st place votes, 2 points for 2nd place votes, and 1 point for 3rd place votes.

The film with the most points wins! Announce the winner to your audience and cheer loudly!!!

Tips

Make this an annual event for you and your friends! If it is an annual event, consider creating themes for each year. For example, parody of horror films or scenes with screams.

Mummy Wrap Game

The Mummy Wrap Game is a great Halloween Party Game because you can throw it together at the last minute and everyone ends up having fun! This is great to play with everyone at the party!

Things You’ll Need

Rolls of Toilet Paper

Setting Up the Game

Divide the guests up into teams of 2-4 people. Give each team a roll or two of toilet paper.

Playing the Game

There are two ways to play this game, the speed version and the skill version.

Speed Version

In the speed version, each team must empty their roll as quickly as possible without breaking it. If they do break it, they must start over with a new roll. The first team to successfully empty their roll(s) of toilet paper, wins!

Skill Version

In the skill version, you give each team a time limit, usually 5 minutes, to make the best mummy they can using only toilet paper. Then, you and a small group judge the winner based on creativity and use of toilet paper!

Party Game Cost -- $0

Slime-n-Beer Halloween Relay

What do you get when you mix slime, beer, and a relay race? A Slime-n-Beer Halloween Relay of course! Trying to watch your friends drink beer with slimy hands is awesome!

Things You’ll Need

Slime

2 Teams

Small amount of beer in cups

4 Witch’s Cauldrons (or some other type of bucket)

Setting Up the Game

Make yourself enough slime to fill 2 of the cauldrons. Slime is easy to make, just mix one part water with four parts of cornstarch.

Set up a start place and put the two cauldrons full of slime there. Place the empty cauldrons 20-30 feet from each other. Place cups of beer next to the empty cauldrons.

Have each team line up behind their bucket.

Playing the Game

Upon yelling "GO", the first team member grabs slime with both hands, runs down to the other bucket, puts the slime in, chugs one of the beers, and runs back and tags the next member in line.

The relay continues until one team has filled their empty cauldron with slime. Declare them winners!

Additional Rules:
-If the player only uses one hand to grab the slime, they must return the slime to the original bucket and start their leg of the relay over.
-If a team member fails to physically tag the next relay member, the member must start their leg of the relay over again.

Party Game Cost -- $0-10

You probably have this stuff lying around anyway so this game is free! If not, pick up cheap supplies at a department store.

Grab some TP out of your bathroom and you’re ready to go!
