If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, you might want to find some great spooky games to play. Fortunately, there are plenty of games you can play that are both cheap and fun, such as…

10. Halloween Charades

This is the ultimate cheap game. Just use all Halloween phrases, from movies to symbols of the season. Have guests submit ideas or just prepare a bunch of them before they arrive.

9. Halloween Password

Password is that fun game where you try to get someone to guess your word without telling them more than a single-word clue. Do this with all Halloween words, from bat to brew.

8. Scream Drinking Game

Play any Halloween movie (including Scream; isn’t 4 coming out?) and everyone has to drink when someone screams.

7. Halloween Trivial Pursuit

You can come up with your own questions or use online compilations of trivia questions; there is also a Nightmare Before Christmas game for those interested.

6. Bob for Apples—or Doughnuts

This is a classic activity that you can update by hanging doughnuts on a string and having guests attempt to eat them with their hands behind their backs.

5. Halloween Guessing Game

I love those games where you make up a bunch of small slips of paper with famous people on them, tape them to the backs of guests (or to their foreheads, which is how we always play it), and they have to guess who they are by the way everyone else treats them throughout the night. Give it a Halloween twist and include characters like Frankenstein, the Blair Witch, or Dracula.

4. Halloween Karaoke

There are plenty of spooky songs you can croon, from “Hotel California” to “This is Halloween.” But the best moment will be when you all get your “Thriller” dance on...

3. Costume Contest

What Halloween party would be complete without one of these?

2. Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board

What Halloween party would be complete without this spooky old game? Okay, maybe any party after the age of fourteen, but still…

1. Fortune Telling

Pagans often tell fortunes on or around Halloween, so what better time to drag out that deck of tarot cards you have stashed somewhere to play with? You could also hire a fortune teller for your party; I once attended a party with one and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
