Before the movie starts, you can show movie trailers of other scary movies. The trailers will give them an idea on what’s to come.
3. Food. You have to remember to keep a stock of food. You can get popcorn and chips to eat while watching the movies. You can also get red soda and other types of food that can pass as guts to set the mood for the evening.
4. Music. Set up eerie background music from soundtracks of horror flicks. You can download these from the Internet or you could also use free music so that you do not have to spend. Play the music during dinner while you are not yet watching the horror films. You can also use sound effects, such as ghosts, screaming people, creaking doors and more.
5. Lighting. Keep the lights dimmed throughout the party. This will set the mood for the night and will keep your guests hanging at the edge of their seats. You can also use colored cellophane to cover the light bulbs in your house so that you can create a dark atmosphere.
6. Decorations. Decorate your living room with cobwebs, bats and other Halloween decorations to give your friends a spook. You do not need to purchase new decorations for this. You can use old decoration, such as old t-shirts and other stuff. Just be resourceful. You can use cotton balls for cobwebs or your kitchen broom as a witch’s broom.
7. Tricks. You can scare your guests by setting up a trick with your brother or sister. Let them scare your friends when they least expect it. You can ask them to come out of the couch and scare your friends right at the middle of the movie. This will surely make them scream.

These are some of the tips that you can use when you throw a horror movie party. You can also choose to do a horror slumber party so that you can scare each other the whole night. If you want, you can make loot bags for your friends. Fill it with candy and small Halloween toys.
