In an effort to entertain the rest of the guests while each group goes through the haunt this year, I am working on some party games which we thankfully have a coordinator for this year. One of the things that is giving me a bit of trouble is for a "Guess Who" guessing game - so far I've come up with these ideas but given I'm expecting around 50-60 people - I need a few more "things" to guess. Can you please help with some suggestions?

Pumpkin
Casper the Ghost
Dracula
A Mummy
The Devil
Witch
Spider
Black Cat
Witches Broom
Coffin
Witches Cauldron
Frankenstein
Grim Reaper
Skeleton

:jol: (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Wendigo, Demon, Psycho Killer, Pennywise the Clown, Elvira Mistress of the Dark) Are you doing characters from Halloween Maree, like Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees? I had a game where I pinned a name on the back of my guests so that they couldn't see the name, but everyone else could, and they had to guess who they were by asking for clues from the other party guests. They could only ask generic questions like, am I male or female? Famous? Evil? Kind? Am I dead or alive? Things like that. I have a whole list if you'd like it, but the list you have going looks pretty good. It was an ice breaker too, for people that didn't know each other at the party.

Thanks again Roxy & P5 - yes P5 that is what I'm working on - but just yes or no answers. Most of my guests are from work so most of them will know one another anyway but it will keep them occupied while we scare the pants off three or four of them LOL

Starting with your list, I'm up to 115 and counting in categories of Fictional Character, Actor, Author, Historical Figure, generic monster and generic artifact. (I find that including categories helps me brainstorm more items)

I have it set up as a spreadsheet with the items (by name, category, and hint, so people answering questions won't ever be stumped), and a mail merge document to print them out 8 to a page to be cut up and taped on people's backs. PM me and I can mail you the files, Or if people don't mind, I can paste the list here, (but it's huge).
