I've always brainstormed year after year with my parties for a new main game. Last year, with a lot of work and a lot of compliments, I produced the best one so far. I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this yet, but my friends all love the game Scene It.
So what I did was design my own version of Halloween Scene It. I went into my huge collection of horror VHS and DVDs and recorded on a separate tape approximately 5 minutes of a film clip from 10 different movies. I left 15 seconds in between each recording for pausing. After each clip I asked a series of questions pertaining to the clip... some random questions about scenery ie. color of a balloon, how many bodies, weapons etc. or about something specific in the dialogue or movie titles (have fun with questions). Random draw chose teams of 2 (but can have singles up to two teams) and I prepared answer sheets for each team to fill out.
A lot of prep was required searching for clips I personally thought would scare and keep the audience riveted so I got to watch a lot my collection all over again :) Hope this helps with a possible idea for future parties.
