Dead Celebrity Halloween Party

How to Throw a Spooky Gala Affair from the Other Side

Jan Peterson
While dead people have long been the subject of Halloween costumes for adults, a close second is Hollywood movie stars, cinematic characters, and glitzy music legends. Why not blend the two and throw a Dead Celebrity Halloween Party?

Halloween Party Script

Invite friends to attend your Halloween party dressed as a dead celebrity or hollywood legend. Host an elaborate ghastly gala affair that mimics the Hollywood scene wrapped in cobwebs and black lights. The best costumes can be recognized by a "best dead celebrity" award at an appropriate point in the evening.

Decorating for a Gala Halloween Affair

Play up the Hollywood scene by focusing on chandeliers, candelabras, and crystal serving pieces. Buy décor with plenty of glitz and glamour, and roll out the red carpet, literally! Shindigz.com has a section that offers oodles of Hollywood party supplies, including red carpet rolls, a director's clapboard, movie film centerpieces, an award night podium photo prop (perfect for Halloween Picture taking!), and even a Hollwood banner that can be customized.

All of the Hollwood props would, of course, need to be covered in traditional Halloween ick: spiders, cobwebs, blood and gore.

Halloween Party Food Perfect for Celebrities and Movie Star Legends

Serve the usual selection of gory food, Hollywood style, by using your crystal dishes and bowls, silver platters and fancy serving dishes. Dish up:
- Strained eyeballs on silver platters
- Vampire blood (tomato soup) in skeleton punch cups or champagne glasses
- Finger food appetizers, such as petite sandwiches on pumpkernickel cut out in Halloween shapes, on glitzy party trays
- Pumpkin soup, served in silver tureens (ok, use black plastic bowls!).

Cut up or rip bargain white tablecloths into napkins that have fake red blood or food coloring on them.

Halloween Music That Will Wake the Dead

Liven up the Halloween party with a variety of music. A great CD would be Monster Movies Haunts, which has the original soundtracks from scary, blockbuster movies .A must have CD for this Dead Celebrity Halloween party is Michael Jackson's Thriller, and a good sound effects CD is Black Cat Halloween Night of Horrors. For Halloween dance music try Halloween Dance Party Jams, or if you just want the Halloween classics, play Halloween Hits (Monster Mash, Purple People Eater, Ghostbusters) .

With your home filled with ghosts of movies past, spooky decor and ghastly food, your Halloween party can't help but be a scary success! You ask if these star stiffs expect to be photographed at a Dead Celebrity Halloween party? Dead right! So, be sure that a passed-on paparazzi or two show up to catch the ghoulish stars having the time of their lives, or should we say, of their deaths?
