Halloween in the Lowcountry and Savannah is more than just costumes and candy—it’s a chance to gather with family and friends, celebrate traditions, and embrace the spooky spirit of the season. Whether you’re planning a kid-friendly bash, a neighborhood get-together, or a laid-back evening with adults, these Halloween party ideas will help you host a frightfully fun time for everyone.
Costume Contest
No Halloween party is complete without costumes! Host a contest with categories like “Most Creative,” “Funniest,” or “Best DIY Costume.” Encourage kids and adults alike to join in—don’t forget a small prize for the winners.

Trick-or-Treat Stations
If you’re hosting little ones, set up decorated tables or corners around your yard or home with candy and small toys. It’s a fun way to recreate the trick-or-treat experience while keeping things safe and close to home.

Spooky Snacks & Drinks
Make your food table a centerpiece! Think pumpkin-shaped cookies, “mummy” hot dogs, apple cider, and punch served with dry ice for a smoky, spooky effect. For adults, whip up themed cocktails with festive garnishes.

Haunted Playlist & Dance-Off
Create a playlist filled with Halloween classics and current hits to keep the energy going. A dance-off is a great way for kids (and adults) to burn off some sugar-fueled energy.

Themed Games & Activities
Set up a pumpkin-painting station for kids or host a scavenger hunt with spooky clues. For adults, try Halloween trivia or a murder mystery game to add a playful challenge to the night.

Outdoor Movie Night
Take advantage of the Lowcountry and Savannah’s mild fall weather by setting up a projector and blankets for an outdoor screening. Choose age-appropriate films—something like Hocus Pocus for kids, and maybe a classic thriller for the grown-ups later in the evening.

Spooky Décor
Transform your space with cobwebs, jack-o’-lanterns, and flickering lights. Want to keep it Lowcountry-inspired? Add moss-draped skeletons or lanterns to create a local, ghostly charm.

DIY Photo Booth
Set up a Halloween-themed backdrop with props like witch hats, vampire fangs, and funny masks. It’s a great way to capture memories—and gives guests a chance to show off their costumes.
