* Them! (1954) -- a giant insect monster movie with '50s camp and timeless scares
* Rosemary's Baby (1968) -- the urban-Satanism nightmare that still chills

While you're at the store, pick-up a couple of CDs that you can play while you greet your guests the night of your party. Opt to skip the lights and illuminate your house with slow burning or long lasting candles.
When planning your party menu, consider the costumes your guests might be wearing and what will be easy for the dressed-up to eat and whether you want to prepare the food, have your party catered or have your guests each bring a dish.

If you've invited the neighbors, top the night off with an outside werewolf howling or screaming contest. Award the winners with a gift subscription to Netflix so they can host next year's Halloween party.
For the Kids
