Australia may not be very big on Halloween. However come October 31st, one is always tempted to throw a Halloween bash. And it's not too hard making your Halloween party the talk of the town. All you need is some creativity. Avoiding Halloween clichés like the Playboy bunny or the Devil costumes is hard. And that's where a theme helps. Choosing a theme not only helps make your party unique, but also adds a fun element. It forces everyone to think of creative interpretations. Adding some theme based decorations and snacks also ups the fun element !
Here are some ideas for a Halloween Theme Party:
1) Game Theme
When dealing with a younger crowd who are hard core gamers, a Game theme seems like a perfect choice. The boys are spoilt for choice with options such as World of Warcarft Death Knight Rune Blade, Mario, Price of Persia, or even a characters from Mortal Combat, Halo, Call of Duty etc. For the girls, think Lara Croft, Princess Rosalina, Princess Zelda, Alyx Vance, Chun - Li etc

2) iPhone Apps
If you want to step away from the movie characters and celebraties theme then here is a simple idea. With the Iphone being so popular, why not make it a theme for your Halloween Party? Invite your friends to choose an App and put their own creative spin on it. Some options could be Facebook, Pinterest, Google Maps, Youtube, Angry Birds, Imdb, Skype etc. To make this theme even more fun, you could create a fake Iphone using simple cardboard and markers and hang it from the wall. You could then invite your guests to stand behind the phone and have their picture taken!

10) Murder Mystery Theme Party
This one does require a lot of preparation on the host's side but is definitely one that your guests will really enjoy. At the start of the party pretend to stage the death of a close friend or your partner. Have this person then change into a ghost costume and give your guests one clue to start off with. Each clue is a puzzle that will lead the person to the location of the next clue. Eventually the clues will lead to the murder weapon and with it, to the killer.
