If you have ever been to a Halloween party you know that there are original games in which every kid has taken part of. Bobbing for Apples has been a Halloween party games standby for a century or more. The original telling of ghost stories with a flashlight on your face still is a Halloween party favorite. This year try something new at your Halloween party. Break from the pack and start a new trend by playing Halloween games that are popular themed and will admittedly give memories of fright and fun and not of boredom. You are sure to think of a few new games yourself, but after reading these ideas it might prime you to be more creative.
Fear Factor is a game show on Tv that challenges contestants to do scary and disgusting feats to win a prize. This Halloween, instead of the original Halloween party games, have a home fear factor. If you have not seen the show, the basic idea is to achieve disgusting, gross dares that will even turn the garbage man's stomach.
The best way to start the game is to go for touch. Put some disgusting stuff in a box with a hole cut in it. Tell the kids that there is brains in the box and they have to put there hands in the box to move to the next Fear Factor Dare. In the box have a bowl of cold spaghetti smeared with tomato sauce for fake blood. When the children put there hands in the box they will feel the spaghetti but without knowing it is food, they will think it feels like brains.
Have other boxes around for the blind touch game. Put a integrate of grapes in a box and tell the child that is the eyes of a dead pirate. In an additional one box put is some beef liver and tell the child that it is the insides of the last child that played the game and lost. In the last bog you can take tied together shoe laces that are wet and cold and you can tell the child that they are feelings the intestines of a murdered woman. You can spin the tale to fit the age groups of the kids, but their heightened imaginations will make this one of the best Halloween party games they have ever played.
The next Fear Factor Halloween game is played with bugs or worms. Have a child sit in a chair blind folded. Tell him that you are taking out a snake out of the box. Tell him that it is a rattle snake. Shake a baby rattle next to his ear and slowly pull a rubber snake over his shoulders and over his body. There are many other gross and scary things that you can integrate in the game.
A good idea for the end of this Halloween game is to serve gross snacks. Gummy worms and chocolate spiders are a great treat. Candy corn in chocolate pudding also makes a gross, yummy snack. With a minuscule imagination and some creative juices flowing you can make the Halloween party games of the past a memory in only your mind and not your kids.

Gypsy Fortune Teller Halloween Costumes - Easy to Make
As a slight girl I often loved to dress up as a gypsy, whether it was for Halloween or just for play. Maybe it's because I long to be free to do as I want and go where I wish, without the societal constraints we have to live by (that's why pirates are so entertaining to citizen too). Anyone it is, creating a fortune teller costume was the feature of Halloween.
Back then there weren't many places to buy fancy costumes (nor did we have the money), so putting my own costume together was a bit of a challenge. Today we can purchase approximately any costume we can think of and there are some pretty nice fortune teller Halloween costumes to select from.
** A Brief History of Gypsy Costumes **
The gypsy citizen were called Roma or Romani. They are made up of loose nomadic tribes that wandered much of the European countries while the Middle Ages and often lived in caravans. There are still nomadic gypsies in the world today.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the basic dress of the woman was a uncomplicated robe gathered at the neck worn over an under gown made of chemise. They also wore a length of cloth which was draped down the back, colse to the opposite waist, up the front and tied at the shoulder (think Roman toga). A turban was worn on the head.
As time went on, fashions changed. For the most part, gypsies well dressed very similar to the peasants of the area in which they traveled and cultural dress of the time. Most of the style of gypsy clothing that we picture today probably came from the Renaissance period when laced vests, flounced skirts, men's breeches and pirate shirts were more popular.
** production a Gypsy Halloween Costume **
For those that want to put together their own gypsy costume or are planning on being a "fortune teller" for Halloween this year, you may have to do a bit of shopping colse to at used clothing stores for some items. If you are handy with a sewing machine, there are many fortune teller costume patterns available as well. Here are some suggestions for both men and women (and boys/girls) that can well be created once you get all the items:
Women/Girl's Fortune Teller/Gypsy Outfit 1
* Long tired skirt in a entertaining color.
* Gypsy style shirt - gathered scooped neck, puffy sleeves gathered at the wrist or long wide flowing sleeves
* Brightly colored front-laced vest

Let your imagination run wild with the colors and styles you could mix and match. The trick is to dress in layers and use clothing that is loose and flowing. Add jewelry like bangles, long flowing necklaces, large earrings and ankle bracelets to heighten your outfit. Use colorful sashes accent the waist (and also to hold daggers). Women could drape several sheer scarves from their waist to hang down in points colse to a solid colored skirt. Consist of headbands, bandanas and even eye patches for that gypsy pirate look. Purples, blues, greens, entertaining yellows, reds and blacks are the most beloved colors and will make your outfit stand out.

Halloween is such fun for kids of all ages, and adults too. Here are some face painting ideas to get you in the Halloween spirit.
Halloween face painting idea 1: pumpkin
A intriguing orange pumpkin painted on each cheek. Black paint used to paint eyes, nose and mouth. A light grey would be used to show the ridges of the pumpkin as well as its outline.
An alternative would be to do a full face pumpkin with an orange face base (blending a darker orange shade over cheekbones), black triangle shape over the eyes (extending above and below the eye area), a black nose and a large black mouth (need to cover more than just the lips).
Halloween face painting idea 2: skull
A full face design. Has a white face as the base, large black 'panda' eyes, black and white vertical stripes on the lips (with the white stripes wider than the black ones) and a trickle of red from one side of the mouth (to indicate blood).
Halloween face painting idea 3: vampire
A full face design. A white face base, intriguing red lips, fangs coming out of each corner of the lower lip (outline is light grey, fill is white, and tip is red to denote some blood), eye lids are smoky grey (right up to and over eye brows), eye brow then exaggerated with black sweeping strokes.
Halloween face painting idea 4: bat
A full face design. A white face base, bat's face painted on forehead above the nose (it's in black with light grey for eyeballs, and for some definition in ears); the bat's body is painted in black on the nose and ends at the base of the nostrils (use different shadings of black; the bat's wings extends out from head and body and covers the eyes curving up towards the temple and down the exterior of the eye to mid cheek (again use different black shadings and some fine dark grey strokes to paint some definition into the wings); the lips are painted in dark grey with an exaggerated upward curl at the corners.
