Good morning & Happy Halloween lovely dreamers! And welcome to another fantastic, brilliant and crazy Halloween infused article here on the DoB blog. Are you ready for this one?

Everybody has a favourite celebration, that’s for sure.

You might be into them all, but let’s face it, one of them is always at the top of the list. Well, for two crazies like us, there’s only one (in the real world at least) and that is without a doubt, Halloween. That is exactly why today we’re showing you the steps that will guarantee you the number one spot on your friend’s lists for the Pinterest worthy Halloween Adult only party of the decade! Oh, yea!

You want to know what the best part is? you can customize these tips to your convenience, so you can try some of them even if you live in a small flat, or all of them if you have a big house, or manage/own/know someone with a bar or pub (and that let you go nuts for one night).

Personal Experience: we’ve done this in our own bar on opening night, and when we lived in Spain in a friend’s bar and they were a HUGE success! This year, with all the Covid madness, we might switch it up and party at our house with just a couple of couples instead, but the fun is still guaranteed.

First things first: what do you need?

– themed party food – yum yum yum! ( besides the mandatory mountain of Halloween candy)
– special Halloween cocktails
– spooky and fun decorations (indoor and out)
– a great Halloween party playlist
– imagination

How to throw the Pinterest Worthy Adult Halloween Party of the year

Throwing a party, especially an adult-only party is not an easy task, but if you know what you’re doing or have the right guidance, and with a little help from your friends ( am I the only one singing this now?), you’ll see that anything is possible.

Adult Halloween Party Essentials

1. Themed party food

This is pretty simple. Before you drink, you need to eat something, but not something too complicated, and not just the mandatory 10 pounds of Halloween candy. Think of finger foods with a Halloween twist, like these ones that are yummy and scary at the same time:

4. A great Halloween party playlist

Now, this is a totally subjective choice, but we think that there are a few must-haves in your playlist, call them “Halloween Classics” if you will.

The Nightmare Before Christmas – This is HalloweenBeetlejuice – Day-o (Banana Boat Song)Original Ghostbusters Theme Song
AC DC Hells Bells
Thriller – Michael Jackson
Talking Heads – Psycho Killer
Carlos Santana – Black Magic Woman
Godsmack – Voodoo
The Addams Groove – MC Hammer
