I found this resource earlier this morning as part of my daily, sporadic, random clicking-around-to-see-what-I-eventually-land-on ritual, and I am still in awe at how creative and versatile these FREE Halloween project templates are. All you need are a pair of scissors and a little bit of glue to get your Halloween party games started!
This entire collection of printable games can easily be crafted yourself such as Phantom’s Vortex, The Vault of Mystery, or Undead Checkers, and could easily be the life or the death of your Halloween party. Projects such as the coffin boxes and CD cases would make excellent party favors, and toys such as various masks or creatures such as “The Splatterbot” would make fun projects to print out in multiples for your guests to enjoy. Goodbye toilet paper roll mummy-wrapping games…
Some of these would also make great centerpieces and table decorations when arranged with other props, such as skeletons and spiders.
Oh, you want the link?

These apothecary jars filled with black and white Halloween candy create a very unique and elegant display.
The photo came from last year’s Pottery Barn Halloween selection, but these Glass Jars are still available if you can’t find a cheaper option in time for this Halloween.
The full Halloween display is very simple, elegant, and inspiring:

Bento boxes are a perfect Halloween lunch for the kids, but would also be a unique addition as Halloween party food. You can combine your favorite sushi and vegetable arrangements on large platters in between the olive and egg eyeballs for an elegant touch.
