03. Lights, Sound and Action
As your guests come in, switch off the lights and light the jack-o-lanterns. Another option is to light the room with candles.

Then play some horror music in the background and simultaneously smoke the dry ice to create an eerie atmosphere.

Serve your guests with welcome drinks tagged as a witch’s potion. Serve them in spooky glasses, jars, and mugs. There are several options here, like mocktails, cocktails, fruit punch, spiced wine, kombucha, etc. Moreover, why serve the Halloween welcome drink with plain and boring ice cubes when you can give a spooky touch even to the ice? Please make your own frozen palms and let them scare your guests. It is simple to make. Take some clean synthetic gloves, fill them with clean drinking water, and freeze them. Now cut the gloves off, and your frozen palms are ready.
06. Bats and Ghosts in the Air
Hang paper bats everywhere off the ceiling with fishnet thread. In between, hang a ball and put a white cloth on it, then mark eyes on it to make flying ghosts. If you are doing last minute preparations with no time to craft these things, then you can easily order online spooky Halloween theme decorations.

07. Corners Covered in Spider Web
Stick artificial spiders on every corner, and to make it look real, also put up some crooked spider webs out of threads and cotton. Artificial spiders are easily available these days as a part of Halloween-themed decorations. If you do not want to buy them, then cut out paper spiders; they serve the same purpose.
08. Haunted Fireplace
Décor your fireplace with haunted Halloween theme decor. For this, you need to bring in all the antique elements you have in your house and place them near the fireplace. Especially, keep a rocking chair to anticipate the ghost (giggles). Apart from that, keep this place dark and light candles on an old and antique candelabra. Make a cat face craft from black paper and attach string lights to the eyes of the cat face, like twinkling cat eyes. Does that scare you now?

Set the table with all the plates with Bloody Marie syringes, zombie brain cupcakes, witch finger cookies, marshmallow spiders, cupcakes with spider frosting, and jelly worms. These can be perfect Halloween party treats.
12. Zombie Apocalypse Photobooth
Lastly, entertain your guests by setting up a Halloween photobooth in the theme of a zombie apocalypse. For this, either provide a scary backdrop or put spooky cutouts on the plain back wall. Place Halloween-themed balloons here and there. Make sure to provide adequate lighting here for the purpose of taking good pictures.
