Kids Sleepover
Combining a sleepover with Halloween can be a great idea at this time of year. It will make it easy to get party supplies to match your theme. Deciding on games and activities should also be simple as you can incorporate traditional ideas such as eating a donut on a string.
If want your guests to come in costume, you can award a prize for the best costume and make this known in advance then they will all make an effort to look good.
You could also give each guest a small flashlight as a gift and arrange a treasure hunt in the dark by hiding candy around the house.
Make sure to make the party more fun than frightening – don’t show them any scary movies or they will be raising hell when it comes to bedtime!
With that in mind, I’ve come up with some pajama party names to get your fright night off to a good start:
- Flashlight Festival
- Bogeyman Bash
- Phantom Pajama Party

- Lantern Ladies Lie In
- Midnight Monster Mash
All Girls
Sometimes your daughter’s Halloween celebration consists of only girls and your Halloween party ideas can be more girly.
Your color scheme could be black and white with pink or black, purple, and pink. These color combinations work well if your girls love pink. You could also think about a witch theme with witchy fingers in the food and black cat decorations. Consider serving mocktails in small bottles with labels saying ‘Potion’. Another good idea is to create a photo station with some props e.g. a witch’s hat, and a broomstick with some spider webs in the background.
For a calmer activity, get the girls to paint each other’s nails in black or purple and add a little glitter to the paint before it dries. You could also make some puffy paint and create these gorgeous pumpkins.
To set the scene, your party needs a good title and I’ve come up with these so that you have a bootiful night:
- Cackle & Candy Party
- Princess Potion Party
- Ghouls Gala
- Fairy Festival
- Enchanted Evening
- Witchy Wingding
- Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun
- Dismal Dames Delight
- Hallow-Queen Party
- Witch & Famous Party
- Ghoul Friends Frolic
- Coven Commitment Ceremony
All Boys
If your house party is just boys then looking at Halloween group names that reflect that is important. Boys love to be a little bit scared but most of this is bravado so don’t show them any horror movies!
Instead, you could blindfold them all and give them some gross things to touch and feel. This fun Halloween party game gets them to feel food as you tell them it’s something else. Have a bowl of cold tinned spaghetti and tell them it is worms. Hand them a couple of peeled grapes and tell them they are eyeballs. Put some chopped-up jello into their had and declare it to be brains.
A pumpkin patch stomp is a perfect opportunity for them to burn off some energy. Blow up lots of orange balloons and add prizes inside like candy corn or coins. Let them stomp the balloons to get the prizes.
Sometimes it is easier to come up with ideas for girls than boys but you’ve come to the right place because I have some devilishly fun party names to get you started:
- Beastly Bash
- Phantom Princes’ Party
- Frightening Fall Festival
- Chilling Cackle Ceremony
- Goblin Gala
- Scream Social
- Wizard Wingding
- Revolting Rave Up
- Hobgoblin Haunt
- Superhero Social
- Pump King Party
- Ghostly Guys Party
- Demon Dudes Party
- Moonlight Mastery Party
- Warlocks Welcome
Calm them down with pages from an activity book or coloring sheets for 10 minutes of peace and quiet:
Fundraisers With Food
Sometimes your Halloween event names need to be themed to the food that you are serving. Maybe they are a fundraiser and you want your guest families to know what to expect on their night out.
For a fundraiser, you could include a pumpkin carving contest where the participants pay a small amount of money to enter. Get them to bring their unlit pumpkins along and light them at the party. Now you have instant decorations to light up your Halloween night! Get someone to judge and award a prize to the winners.
A memorable name can help raise awareness of your event. Some suggestions for foodie names are:
- Ghoulash Gala
- Cauldron Ceremony
- Mummy Munch
- Supernatural Supper
- Eat, Drink and Be Scary
- Frightful Feast
- Goblin Candy Convention
- Bone Appetito Night
- Pumpkin Pies Come In Disguise Party
- Candy & Carving Club

Celebrations
The best Halloween party might be one that celebrates a specific occasion which just happens to be in late October.
Your scary theme will need to reflect both the celebration and Halloween itself. You could do this through your choice of colors and decorations throughout the party space. You can also combine the two occasions in your choice of party food eg have a birthday cake with the age on but ice it with purple and orange icing.
Your party name can reflect the occasion too with choices including:
- Beastly Birthday Bash
- Cadaver Celebration
- Alarming Apparition Anniversary
- Creepy Celebration
- Bloodcurdling Birthday Bonanza
- Birthday Boo
- Chilling Celebration
- Magical Merriment Party
