1. A Playlist That’s Kinda Cursed (In a Good Way)

The vibes start and end with the aux. Don’t show up with a generic “Spooky Sounds Vol. 3”... bring a playlist that blends Twilight soundtrack core, viral horror edits, and maybe one chaotic track (e.g. the Hereditary scream scene) for drama. Channel: Doja Cat → Monster Mash remix → Mitski in a haunted church?

🧠 Pro tip: Drop the playlist link in the group chat ahead of time. Manifest DJ privileges early!

2. A Halloween Game That Goes Beyond “Boo”

If you want to break the ice and find out who in the room has Final Character energy, bring a party game with social chaos built in!

3. Spooky Snacks That Taste Elite!

We’re talking edible eyeballs. Char-boo-terie boards. Grimace Shake shooters. People will pretend not to care, but everyone remembers who brought the best snacks. Bonus points for themed labels like “Witch Fingers (hot cheetos)” or “Demon Brains (buffalo cauliflower).”

4.  A Costume That’s Niche, Funny, and Maybe a Little Haunting

It’s not about being basic, it’s about being hyper-specific and disturbingly accurate. Go as “someone who drank the Grimace Shake and lived.” Or that one demon from Talk to Me. Or the girl from the group project who didn’t contribute but still presented. That’s culture.

💅 Group costumes are cool. Solo chaos? Unforgettable.

5. A Prop That’s Just Unhinged Enough to Start Conversations

Bring one item that no one expects...but everyone ends up talking about. Think: a Victorian doll you “found at a thrift store and won’t explain,” a framed photo of your costume inspiration with a fake backstory, or a clipboard titled “Haunting Sign-In Sheet.” It’s the kind of detail that makes people say “Okay wait, who brought this??” …and boom, you’re the moment.
