To old to Trick or Treat and they don't want to play silly games, well in Halloween Fear Factor the more gross the food is the better. Last year Halloween Fear Factor was our most popular Halloween teen game idea.
So popular was this idea that food items we recommended for Halloween Fear Factor game sold out online. Knowing this we wanted to get this game idea out early so parents and teens and find all the items for this game.
Best thing is that thing game can be as gross as you want, they can eat real crickets, lavae, meal worms, gizzards or just things that look gross like squishy gummi eyes and other gross Halloween candy. So while this game is perfect for grossing out teenagers it can also be adapted for tweens too.
Check out the game details for Halloween Fear Factor and also have fun checking out the Gross Halloween Candy we dug up.

Here are our Top 10 Halloween Party Planning Tips
1. Select the Date for Halloween Party
Halloween falls on on Sunday this year so top Halloween Party days are October 29th, 30th and 31st with the 21st, 22nd and 28th also excellent alternative days for Halloween events. Many communities may have Trick or Treating on Saturday rather than on Sunday this year, so be sure to check before finalizing your Halloween event.
2. Decide on Type of Halloween Party

Attendees: Adults, Kids or Both
Activities: Halloween games, Scavenger Hunts, Haunted House or Social Gathering
3. Determine Halloween Party Theme
Favorite Monster or Horror Movie, Animals, Dead Celebrity, Super Hero & Princess, Black & White, Most Creative or just a Classic Halloween Costume Party.
4. Set a Budget for Halloween Party
Invitations, Halloween Decorations, Costume Food, etc... Once you set your budget it's time to get creative and shop online, check out yard sales, thrift stores, borrow and get creative.
5. Send out Halloween Party Invitations
We have found some awesome Halloween invitations from a variety of party sites and they range from spooky to oh so cute - so check out and order them today. If mailing we recommend sending them out between after September 20th and by October 5th. This is very important if you are asking for an RSVP and if other parties are being planned.
6. Halloween Decorations
Consider your budget and determine what type of mood and setting you want for your Halloween party. Consider a wall scene setter to add excitement to a boring wall, foggers to give a sense of eeriness, haunting ghouls to creep guests out, a haunting cd to give them chills and animated props like witches, Jason and zombies to scare them to death!
7. Decide Your Halloween Costume
Whether you make your own Halloween costume or purchase a new costume, it's important that you decide on your Halloween costume and purchase by the 10th or at least the 15th of October. Why do we recommend this? Because your Halloween party is a big event and planning ahead will help it go smoothly.

Add Halloween games and activities can make your party a truly memorable event, so decide which Halloween games match your event. Halloween Trivia and Bingo games work in offices, fun bean bag and target games, scary story games are great for kids, tweens and teens enjoy gross games and outdoor activities and adults might enjoy a challenging Halloween murder mystery! Great news we have Halloween game ideas for all of these!
9. Plan on Haunting Food Menu, Party Supplies & Food Display
We recommend you plan 1 or 2 featured items of scary foods and surround them with basics, this way the featured items will stand out. Also how you present items can make something ordinary look gross. Consider a ghoul throwing up salsa - yuck! but it's only salsa. So be creative and have fun, we put together some Halloween party supplies to help you get started.
10. Party Prep One Week in Advance
It may sound silly but if you are having a big Halloween party, have everything ready 1 week in advance. Go over your check list of what you have and still need, place all decorations and room items together and start setting up if you haven't already started, put all food together, review guest list and make any last minute changes to menu or props. Remember if you have a lot to do invite a few friends to help you set up and prepare.
These Top 10 Halloween Party Planning Tips should help you plan for a successful Halloween Party this year and help you enjoy planning for the big event with less stress!

Toy Story & Cute - Lead Early Halloween Sales for Infants and Kids
It is only August and while many retailers are still waiting for Halloween costumes, props and accessories to arrive early Halloween costumes trends are emerging and so far cute and Toy Story costumes are leading the pack.
While adults may be puting off Halloween costume purchases until later, they are not waiting to purchase their children as infant and children's costumes as they have learned in the past - buy now and it is yours, wait and you might have an unhappy child. Basically, the ease and convenience of buying Halloween costumes early can often outweigh a frantic last minute search.
While we are surprised that anyone would buy a Halloween costume so early, history shows that trends start now and stores only have all the costume sizes early and with retailers running with lean costume inventories it makes sense to act now.

Emerging Halloween Costume Trends for Halloween 2010
Halloween is months away but the Halloween costume trends for this year are quickly emerging and greatly influenced by Summers biggest movies. Last year's biggest costume, Michael Jackson, may still show up for Halloween 2010 but a new bunch of costumes are ready to take there place with influences coming from movies, music, tv and movie icons and colorful entertainers.
Summer Blockbusters and ongoing movie sagas will lead the Halloween costume list this year for kid's with Toy Story characters Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jesse leading the way, Minions from Despicable Me, Shrek, Iron Man and Harry Potter favorites joining traditional costumes like Witches, Ghosts, Princesses, Pirates and Animals.
Adult and teen costumes trends will evolve around common themes of the past few years with a few breakout costumes along the way. Twilight with it's vampire and werewolf themes, Iron Man, Michael Jackson will be back but less popular, parents are likely to select adult Toy Story, Shrek or Classic Disney costumes when the family heads out for Halloween. New costume trends this year are Avatar where you can go as Sully, Neytiri or a member of the Navi tribe, Alice in Wonderland also offers up some very cool and interesting costumes choices and our favorite is the Red Queen.
Music and Celebrity trends that we expect to be seen this Halloween, more Lady Gaga as long as she continues to release new music and interesting videos, characters from TV's Glee make for a great Halloween idea for groups that can sing, Betty White costumes and The Golden Girls make for popular do it yourself costumes, Kiss costumes continue to trend higher so expect to see more of them this Halloween.
Reality TV Show Trends - I hate to say it but dressing like the Jersey Shore crew will be popular. The question is will there be enough hair gel and fake tans to go around? Cover your costume in pets and you are an Animal Hoarder, cover yourself in trash and you can be on Hoarders, if you tend to be angry go as Gordon Ramsey of Hell's Kitchen, yes the options are endless!
As we get closer to Halloween, we will keep you informed about Halloween costumes, Halloween decorations and Halloween party games!
