Halloween Ideas

[Epiphany74]

Not sure where to put this but none of the categories are just right, so I also posted in B&S but it is kinda a cultural thing too...

I'm having a Halloween event in my coffee shop on Monday 30th (figuring that people willl have parties to go to on 31st).

I have a tarot reader coming and am planning a horror theme quiz. I am going to try a "Bobbing for Apples" game (with helium balloons instead of actual water and apples - imagine the Health & Safety implications!!) and the top prize will be an IPod Nano (Apple geddit?). I may have a pumpkin carving comp. I'll put on a spooky theme soundtrack. But, what else can I do in a coffee shop without too much expense or risk to keep my punters amused for the evening?

All suggestions gratefully received.

blimey can I come? sounds great. You could sell pumpkin soup and change the names to ghoulish ones on your food board if you have one. Tomato soup could be called Vampire blood etc. No expence there.

Thanks for your suggestions. The shop is Roast on Royal Avenue in Belfast - and coffee's on the house for ABers who identify themselves!
