I have decided on my theme for this year (per agreement from my co-host): Happily Never After. Basically all of our favorite fairy tales all grimmed up.

My basic decoration idea is tons o'skeletons dolled up as fairy tale characters, tattered tapestries/castle hangings, etc. I have gotten some inspiration from Ghoul Friday (http://www.ghoulfriday.com/halloween-party-themes), but I know you will have some ideas too.

So whatcha got for me? :jol:

If you've ever read the Grimm fairy tales in the original, they were pretty gruesome compared to the Disneyfied versions we all know and love

One particular form of punishment that shows up in some of the stories consisted of putting people in barrels that had nails driven in from the outside (so the pointy ends came through to the inside), sealing it, and rolling the barrel down the hill. As a decoration, perhaps you could have a barrel like this (suitably secured so folks couldn't actually get any body parts into it - or use fake harmless nails that only look scary) with a sign attached saying "For Unruly Guests".

Find some of the acrylic kids dress up shoes like Cinderella's and break them then put them on the skelly's feet. Rotten looking apples with bite marks in a bowl. Hearts in boxes, a spinning wheel with a bloody finger stuck to it. OOoooo I could get a little carried away coming up with ideas.
