Halloween Portraits
Divide all the guests present into teams of four players. Hand over a brown bag of random props to each team. You can use a banana, a spatula, a doll, a pencil, a pair of goggles, and such random things as the props in the bag. Ask each team to use all the props and get together in a pose depicting a murder or scary scene in progress. The team has to freeze in their position while the host clicks a photograph of their scene. The picture will then be produced in print in order to judge the winning team. After all the teams have had their chance, ask each team to explain the scenario of the scene. Based on the picture and the situation, judge the winners and distribute prizes. At the end of the party, the pictures can be given as souvenirs.

Halloween Graveyard Hunt
If you are lucky to have a large backyard, this game will be a hell lot of fun. Decorate your entire backyard such that it resembles a scary and chilling graveyard. As an alternate, you can place lots of spooky things. To top it all, scatter plenty of cutout black felt bats, plastic spiders, fake web, jack-o'-lanterns, fake tombstones, and play creepy music in the background. Hand over a list of various weird things hidden across places around the graveyard. Let the guests go on a graveyard hunt to find the items, with surprises of prizes and treats hidden here and there.
