How To Throw a Spook-tacular Halloween Birthday Party
As the weather takes a turn and the nights roll in, you might be thinking about hosting a ghoulishly great Halloween birthday party for your child and their friends.
Or, maybe you just want to celebrate the season in style with a spook-tacular Halloween party to bring everyone together for a devilishly fun time.
But how do you throw a Halloween party that everyone will enjoy? We’re here to help! As the go-to Halloween birthday party experts, we’ve helped parents up and down the UK to entertain their little vampires and monsters with themed games, scarily good prizes, and downright terrifying levels of fun!
How do you entertain kids at a Halloween party?
One of the first things you need to plan for your Halloween birthday party is the entertainment. This is one of the best ways to infuse the fun with seasonal scares, while keeping all of your guests dancing and playing for the duration of your event.
For our Spook-tacular Monster Party offering, the dedicated entertainer will introduce a wide selection of themed games that are a surefire way to keep your guests laughing, playing…and screaming! This includes Casper’s Candy Hunt for the younger ghouls, to Zombie Tag for older children.
Ghoulish games
Looking to throw a Halloween birthday party on a budget? Some fun DIY ideas for party games include:
- Pin the Hat on the Witch. This cost-effective option is perfect for all ages, and will get everybody involved in the spooky fun. Simply set up a witch cut-out on a wall, equip your guests with pre-taped witch hats, and you’re good to go!
- What’s in the Cauldron? For a bit of sensory fun, fill small cauldrons with off-putting food that will double as Halloween objects. Pickled onions could be gruesome eyeballs, while cold spaghetti acts as a bundle of slippery worms!
- Frankenstein Bowling. Paint a selection of tin cans with classic Halloween figures, and set them up so your guests can take turns trying to knock them all down. For even more Halloween fun, they could throw a plastic skull or rat instead of a ball!
Monstrously-good music
Mix up the day with a selection of music and sound effects to get everybody in the mood. Our Spook-tacular Monster Party sees our entertainers playing the most popular kids Halloween music, alongside some great disco tracks to get everybody dancing and playing.
Keep it age-appropriate
Halloween can be a very fun time of year, but it can also be a little too scary for younger children who might not be a fan of skeletons and ghosts.
When considering your Halloween birthday party ideas, make sure to tailor everything to the general age of your guests. This might mean toning down the scares in favour of cartoonish pumpkins and bats, or adding an extra level of creepy with zombie facepaint and eerie decorations.
You’ll know the disposition of your own child better than anybody else, so plan your entertainment around what they’d enjoy.

Halloween birthday party decorations to set the mood
It isn’t a Halloween birthday party without fun decorations to raise the thrills and chills for your guests.
Depending on the children's ages and interests, this could range from gravestones and creepy clowns, to friendlier pumpkins or superheroes. Whatever you opt for, make sure to decorate your venue as much as possible to really create an atmosphere that matches the fun and games throughout the day.
Heighten the Halloween fun with smoke and bubbles
Our Spook-tacular Monster Party includes smoke, bubble, and snow machines to transform your venue into an atmospheric party zone, but you have the option of adding additional machines to really elevate your Halloween birthday party to the next level.
Start the fun early with themed invites
Make sure that your guests are aware of your Halloween theme from the get-go by sending out themed invitations that include ghoulish characters and imagery.
This will set the tone of your Halloween birthday party nice and early, and also gives the chance for parents of more sensitive children to decide whether it’s suitable for them to attend unsupervised.
