As the first modern Halloween party theme in our collection of fun Halloween party themes, we’ve chosen:
Oh yes. The most romantic of traditional “monsters”, these days it’s all about the blood-suckers… Which is why we’ve put together this list of little tidbits to update your Halloween party to meet post-Transylvania vampire lore.
Ideas for a Vampire Themed Halloween Party
Pick Your Poison
You can stick with the simple theme of “vampires” for your party and let your guests go wild with their favorites, or you can choose a more specific set of characters to give blood-worship. Pick a favorite or make it a mash-up with these popular vampire tales:
Twilight
You can capture the romance of this wildly popular series with black & red theme colors, diamond-effects, apples and more. Get some great ideas in this post on a Twilight theme party from the Hostess with the Mostess daily blog!
True Blood
Go all out with official Merlotte’s merchandise or rough it with “Hi, My Name is” labels – either way you’ll have a deliciously good time with these
True Blood Halloween Party Planning Ideas from True Blood Net.
The Vampire Chronicles
(An Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, etc.)
Recreate the drama of the Theater of the Vampires with some inspiration from
Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat Fan Club, decorate a la Paris or New Orleans for your guests to haunt, or even reincarnate Akasha’s tomb to bring fang-tasy to ancient Egypt. Fans of this series know it offers a rich variety of settings and events to choose from!
The Vampire Diaries
Take a bite out of teen Halloween party planning with this theme. Get creative with fun edible cake toppers or decorate to bring to life the eerie, haunted Mystic Falls. Get some

Blade
For an awesome icebreaker or party charade, pit your invitees against each other in team games by assigning roles as vampires and Blade-esque vampire-human hybrids. Of course, costumes are required! Don’t forget that Daywalkers don’t have to avoid the light – which could make these games even more enjoyable, or could serve as inspiration to divide your decorating space!
Buffy and/or Angel
Creep up your decorating space by recreating the Sunnydale Cemetery or keep in true Buffy tradition by commissioning a party-crasher. Check out these ideas and more inspired by the slayer in this post on
Ideas for a Buffy-Themed Party from suite 101 author Sarah Tennant.
Underworld
Prey on the men with this twist for your guests – women must come dressed as bloodthirsty vampiras and men must dress as lustful Lycans. Get the ideas for accompanying decorations and party bites in this post from eHow about
Underworld Theme Halloween Party Ideas.
From Dusk til Dawn
An adult-only party theme (if you’re imagining it right) for an unforgettable night – whether you decide to recreate the crazy strip club atmosphere or not – and the battle between bikers and bloodsuckers is a great basis for a couples or singles mixer!
We’ll post more exciting vampire-related theme ideas this week, from cocktail and treat recipes to exciting games for your guests. Do you have any great ideas for any of these vampire party themes?
