Spooky season is upon us, and we're already thinking about our favourite Halloween [1] traditions. One of our favourite ways to celebrate the holiday is by hosting a Halloween [2] party. Planning the perfect Halloween party is a fun way to get your family and friends together for the spookiest day of the year, not to mention it's the perfect excuse to go all out on a costume [3]. Planning a party allows you to flex your creativity while tackling invites, food [4], decor [5] and more.
If you want to host a Halloween party this year but are short on inspo, you're in luck because TikTok has you covered. With these TikTok-inspired Halloween party themes, you'll be sure host your most epic holiday party yet.
Hocus Pocus Party
We smell children! Pay homage to an all-time Halloween [6] film favourite and throw a Hocus Pocus [7] party. Leave your brooms by the door, please.
The Nightmare Before Christmas Party
Jack Skellington balloons and an affordable backdrop are an easy way to incorporate The Nightmare Before Christmas into your gathering. The more themed decorations [8] the better!
Friday the 13th Party
An overload of red icing and a chef's knife come together to make an eerily appropriate Friday the 13th cake. Make some paper hockey masks to pay tribute to Jason.
Culinary Craft Party
If you're not drawn to a specific theme, put the focus on food! Prepare a festive spread of
Halloween snacks [9]
, and include culinary-centreed activities like a cookie decorating station.
Paint, Sip, and Movie Night
Put on your favourite Halloween [10] movie, and break out the paintbrushes and canvases. This interactive Halloween party idea is a great way to spend some time being creative with your friends. Plus, your guests get to go home with a memorable party favour.
Alice In Wonderland Party
Old-school Disney fans can take the spookier elements of Alice in Wonderland and turn them into an unforgettable Halloween [11] event. Splatter playing cards and white flowers with fake blood for some on-theme decor.
Pumpkin Carving Party
You're never too old to enjoy some fun pumpkin carving [12]. Set out festive snacks and see who can carve the most creative jack-o'-lantern.
Gory Thriller Party

Haunted House Party
Combine the classic Halloween [15] events of a haunted house and a Halloween party by turning your home into Spook City, and giving your guests a frightful evening to remember.
Classic Halloween Party
There's nothing wrong with the classics. After all, they're classic for a reason. Throw a nostalgic party that reminds you of treasured Halloweens from your childhood. Think lots of pumpkins, skeletons, and orange and black everything.
Ghostbusters Party
When there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters, duh. Caution tape, colourful balloons, and a Ghostbusters [16] flag are easy ways to bring the iconic theme to life.
Harry Potter Party
Let witchcraft and wizardry be your guide for creating a magical Harry Potter [17] themed Halloween [18] party. Ten points for every (fake) candle you hang from the ceiling.
