8 Halloween Party Themes for Nursing Homes

By NHAR

The following 8 Halloween Party themes haven’t been fully fleshed out, but the titles alone give you a pretty good idea what’s involved to form and shape it into an epic event. Please provide comments to let us know any other party theme ideas you have to share!

Scary Movie Marathon – Choose several favorite scary movies to share. Prepare the viewing room for atmosphere and comfortable viewing.

Murder Mystery – Boxed games are available for parties of eight to ten. Each person can pretend to be a character and you all do the detecting for “who done it”.

Paranormal Party – Set up Ouija boards, crystal balls, and ghosts, shadows on the wall and anything that lends to ‘scary things you can’t see’. 

Monster Bash / Costume Party – Time for everyone to dress up as their favorite monster from Frankenstein and Vampires to Werewolves and Witches!

Bonfire and Ghost Stories – Tell ghost stories, read ghost stories or listen to old radio shows like the ‘The Twilight Zone’ or ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’.

Haunted House – Get everyone involved in spookifying the nursing home for guests and playing the roles of vampires, headless murderers, and ghosts.

Halloween themed food party – Make all of the food in orange and black colors and dressed up with the themes of pumpkins, ghosts, and witches. There are many recipes for this.

Halloween Craft party – Find ideas for 3-5 crafts related to Halloween and play a Halloween movie or scary radio show while doing the crafts.
