Unique Halloween Party Themes For Adults

Costume Ball

Think of a masquerade, but with a mysterious twist. Ask your friends to don their most captivating costumes. Who will steal the show?

These can be fun, but they are basically a fancy dress-up party. You need to make sure your guests want to go all out for costumes, or it might not be the hit you hoped for.

Horror Movie Marathon

If you have a small, close-knit group, then consider coying up with some popcorn as you journey through the world of silver screen horror. From classics to modern spine-chillers, the suspense is palpable!

The downside to this is that it’s hard to socialize while watching a screen.

Potion Making (Cocktail Mixing)

Brew your own concoctions with a dash of magic and mystery. If no one has ever called your cocktail a magic potion, then there’s definitely room to learn some new skills!

This also works well to mix with a murder mystery party, because you can make cocktails to match your theme.

Wondering about unique Halloween themes? Night of Mystery has you covered. We understand that not all parties are made equal. Whether you’re looking for something classy, fun, or utterly mysterious, our range of themes is sure to cater to your discerning tastes.

A Classic Scary Theme

Think of Dracula and all the other spooky monsters who lurk in the shadows of gothic gothic horror. This is a great theme for October for obvious reasons, and it’s relatively easy to pull off. Due to the amount of Halloween stores that pop up, the host can easily find decorations, and your guests can get their hands on costumes (if they don’t have them hiding in their basements already).

If this has you intrigued, then check out Terror in Transylvania… if you dare…

The Dark Side of the Roaring 20s

In a world of gangsters, flappers, and underground crime, there’s a lot to enjoy at Halloween-time. This theme is always a hit among guests because the costumes are fun and easy to put together, and they make for some great photos. Plus, it’s easy to get into character when you enter the mysterious door of a speakeasy, and it’s not surprising that the criminal activities get out of hand.

Cruel Fate In A Fancy Mansion

How many stories are set in a luxurious mansion full of suspicious characters with strong motives? A lot, because it’s the perfect plotline.

It’s also one of the perfect adult Halloween birthday party ideas because your guests can easily get into costume by finding things already in their closets (even though some will love the excuse to go shopping). And, you can kill it with easy decorating tips – you might even add a touch of class that you’ll decide to keep after the party ends.

Gamble… With Your Life

Sin City takes on a whole new meaning when you realize one member of the party won’t make it to the end. Everyone is hiding something in a Las Vegas casino, so that makes the mystery all the more intriguing to solve.

With a wide range of costumes just like you’d find in Vegas, this one’s a blast for a Halloween birthday bash.

Roll the dice by hosting Murder in Sin City.
