Here are a couple of the things that we did to celebrate:
Decorations
Turns out that our dollar store had some fantastic things to terror-fill our library. Saw posters, bloody handprints, eyeballs floating in lemonade, and some disembodied ears worked nicely for us.
Costume Competition
Ask your Teens to dress up and hand out prizes to all that participate, and then something special to the Teen voted best-dressed. If you don't think they will dress up, maybe have a station set up with t-shirts they can tear up, some creepy makeup, and some spray-on hair dye.
Creepy Photo BoothOur dollar store was another treasure trove for this activity. Debilitated hands, a couple blades, masks, stuffed animals, some skeletons, and a boa rounded this one out.
Zombie Tag
We've done this game at other events recently, but it just never gets old =D Have one or two people start as Zombies, complete with slow-moving feet, reaching hands, and the occasional growl, and when they tag a victim, that person is infected. Keep playing until only one human is left, and then that person is the Zombie for the next round.
YouTube Dance Fest
Finally, it wouldn't be a Monster Bash without the bash part, so we turned to the ever helpful YouTube. We got a sign-up sheet going around, and looked up the songs on YouTube (making sure that we looked for the clean versions on some of them lol). But a word of advice, nothing got the Teens dancing like looking up the Just Dance version. Luckily, many players have screen captured their records on YouTube (AverageAsianDude being one of them). This way, anybody that wants to can dance all at the same time instead of waiting for the controller. Good times!!
