Decorate using black and orange-colored items: Make the party venue as a frightening place. Decorate the venue mostly with black and orange-colored items. Hang orange lighted Jack O’Lanterns and black or orange-colored balloons all over the place. Decorate the roof tops and walls with orange and black streamers. Cover the party tables with black or orange table-cloth and place plastic bugs, rats and skulls. Be creative and make your own window and door coverings with the cutting silhouettes of bats, spiders, etc. out of black and orange paper.

Proper lighting: Proper lighting gives life to a Halloween party. This theme demands a shady and dim lighting in most of the areas. Use black and orange colored neon lights. Hang chandeliers or light up pumpkin spinning balls or balloons filled with mini glow sticks. Place a glow-in-the-dark skeletons or black–orange colored glowing zombies at corners in the room. Use artificial flashing light candles. Also, add artificial mist in places to create a smoky effect.
