Party Supplies For Your Halloween Party

Halloween is fast approaching and what better excuse to host a Fall party to lift everyone's spirits? Traditionally when we think of party supplies, we think of balloons and partyware, but there is much room for creativity when planning a Halloween get-together.

The first task -- that can be rather daunting -- is knowing where to look for costumes and party supplies. Party City is a great wholesale party supply store that will have costumes from $15 - $60 for adults. However, you'll want to shop as early as possible to avoid barren shelves and poor selection. Buycostumes.com has unique costumes for reasonable prices. If you want a really horrific mask and are willing to spend a little more, Thehorrordome.com is your site. You can find hundreds of costumes at Orientaltrading.com, including plus sizes and couples options!

It pays to look for party supplies online, especially when it comes to decorations and props. Avoid cheesy or cutesy Halloween decor, unless you're throwing a kids party. Instead, buy some inexpensive yet creepy cobwebs and table cloths and strategically place several really gruesome items around the house, as well as props and wall coverings.

At Frightcatalog.com, you can get $20 wall coverings that turn your house into a cemetery, haunted forest or blood-splattered torture chamber; a $20 light-up Bates Motel sign or a $5 monster hands "Enter At Your Own Risk" sign; life-sized Freddy Kreuger cut-outs ($10) or possessed pictures that change from normal to ghastly for $20. If you're one not to be outdone and want to really freak your guests out, check Thehorrordome.com for super creepy animatronics and props.

While some items range into the thousands (for Haunted House displays), you can find a light-up skull for $30, a talking animatronic tree face for $34, a 21-inch skeleton shelf for $33, a severed vampire bride head ($30) or even the "It's Alive" baby puppet for $89! At Orientaltradingpost.com, you can also purchase 144 orange and black balloons for just $13 or 48 black skull balloons for just $8.

As far as partyware celebration supplies go, Orientaltrading.com offers 25 plates in themed colors for just $2.95, skeleton hand champagne glasses (12 for $18), decorated table cloths ($3), a skull punch-bowl set for $24, and monster hand Jello molds. A traditional and cheap main entree is goulash made of just noodles, sauce, peppers, onions and ground beef. (You can serve a small army for $10). Other options include: Pumpkin soup or pie, deviled potato salad, herb-marinated olives, nutty phyllo ghosts, candy apples and more (at Foodnetwork.com). A larger list of Halloween recipe sites can be found at: Darklinks.com/dhauntfood.html, which includes vegetarian and cocktail options.

For music party supplies, you can purchase a Halloween compilation or download the typical "Monster Mash" or Ghostbuster theme tunes. For more upbeat atmosphere, try a "horrorbilly" or "psychobilly" band or two. The Matadors, The Creepshow or The Horrorpops give you Halloween-themed music with an old rock n roll twist that's sure to get your celebration dancing. Or purchase an inclusive murder mystery kit with food, music and entertainment directions.

Lastly, it could be fun to give your friends some favors to take home with them as a memento. Orientaltrading.com has an especially good selection of celebration supplies and favors by the dozen -- like 12 light-up skeleton shot-glasses for $10.
