3. Spooky-Themed Snacks & Treats for a Teen Halloween Slumber Party

Food is a huge part of any slumber party, and Halloween is the perfect excuse to go wild with creepy creations. Here are some fun snack ideas that your teen guests will love:

  • Witch’s Brew Punch
    Create a fun and fruity punch and label it “Witch’s Brew.” You can use a mix of apple cider, sparkling water, and gummy worms for a ghoulish effect.
  • Graveyard Brownies
    Bake your favorite brownies and decorate them with crushed Oreos as dirt and tombstones made from cookies.
  • Popcorn Bar
    Set up a popcorn station with different toppings like caramel, chocolate drizzle, or spooky-colored sprinkles for a DIY snack moment.
  • Jack-o’-Lantern Fruit Cups
    Hollow out oranges and carve them like jack-o’-lanterns, then fill them with mixed fruit or candy for a fun and healthy treat.
  • Spider Web Pizza
    Make mini pizzas and use mozzarella cheese or cream cheese to create spider web designs on top. Add olive slices as “spiders” for a finishing touch.

4. Thrilling Games & Activities

To keep the party rolling, here are some Halloween-themed games that will have everyone entertained:

  • Murder Mystery Game
    Set up a thrilling murder mystery where guests have to find out “whodunnit.” You can buy ready-made kits or create your own eerie storyline.
  • Pumpkin Bowling
    Using mini pumpkins as bowling balls and empty soda bottles as pins, have a blast with this fun and easy game.
  • Escape Room at Home
    Create your own DIY escape room experience! Lock the guests in a room (temporarily, of course) and have them solve puzzles and riddles to “escape.” You can create clues related to Halloween themes like haunted houses or vampire dens.
  • Treasure Hunt
    Organize a spooky treasure hunt around your house or yard. Hide Halloween-themed goodies like candy, mini pumpkins, or ghost-shaped trinkets, and give guests creepy clues to find the treasure.
  • DIY Slime Station
    Set up a DIY slime-making station with glow-in-the-dark ingredients or spooky colors like green, purple, and black.

5. Final Touches for a Perfect Slumber Party

Don’t forget to set the right ambiance with spooky decorations like fake cobwebs, carved pumpkins, and eerie lighting (think string lights in orange and purple). You can also create a photo booth corner with Halloween props such as witch hats, vampire fangs, and ghost masks to capture fun memories.

For a cool effect, play with fog machines or set up a blacklight room with glow-in-the-dark elements, like ghost decals or neon signs. Don’t forget to send your guests home with goodie bags filled with Halloween candies, stickers, or small accessories like glow-in-the-dark bracelets or mini spooky trinkets.

Consider creating DIY haunted house walkthroughs in your backyard or basement with dim lighting and simple, eerie setups like cardboard gravestones or creepy sound effects playing in the background.

Lastly, add in a cozy campfire storytelling session (if outside), where everyone can share their own spooky ghost stories or urban legends while roasting marshmallows.

This guide will help you host the ultimate Teen Halloween Slumber Party with decorations, games, and treats that are perfect for teens.
