Zombie Party – Party Planning Ideas for your Zombie Themed Event

October 31, 2012 This post may contain affiliate links.

We had so much fun planning and hosting our Zombie Party this year and I want to share some tips for decorating for your own Zombie themed event. It’s such a great theme for Halloween.

Zombies Party Graveyard Decorations

Welcome to our 2012 Zombie themed Halloween party. 

Zombies in our Graveyard

Zombies greeted out guests as they entered through our cemetery.

Graveyard Halloween Party Ideas

Guests were summoned to enter at their own risk as…

 brain eating zombies were trying to enter our home from every door and window.

Zombies Breaking In through boarded up windows.

Some zombies were successful at breaking through the windows that we had boarded up.

Their arms were reaching in to grab unsuspecting guests.

No window frames were harmed in the making of this display! These clever props, designed by my husband, just pop into our window opening and can be pulled out after the party.

Halloween Food Table Graveyard Theme

We had 103 party attendees and we knew they were going to come hungry. We needed a lot of space to hold all of the food and utilized the entire kitchen.

Cool graveyard filled with Halloween party food.

Our kitchen island was transformed into a graveyard scene which featured all of the savory food.

A brain eating zombie climbed out of his grave at one end of the island and a tombstone was set at the opposite end. In between was lots of tissue paper grass and food, of course.

Halloween Party Food Ideas

Creepy zombie hands reached up out of the ground grasping at food like the skull shaped cheese.

Halloween Dessert Display

Our desserts were a major focal point of the party food. We were sure to leave plenty of room around the tables so our guests could easily serve themselves.

A fun way to display Halloween desserts for your Zombie Party.

Our haunted house display held individual zombie themed desserts including …

Zombie Party Desserts

Cake Ball Brains, Dark Chocolate Caramel Marshmallow Filled Brains,   Vanilla Bean Marshmallow Brains, Gingerbread Zombies, Zombie Sugar Cookies, White Chocolate Zombies, Peanut Butter Fudge Filled Chocolate Skulls, Bleeding White Chocolate Popcorn, Coconut Cream Skulls, Chocolate Coffins, and Chocolate Caramel Brains.

Chocolate Brains and Skulls

We made plenty of lollipops and painted candies to set around the table too.

I loved that I could fit my small skull shaped candies into chocolate coffins. During the party one young boy came up to me holding a chocolate coffin lid that had a big bite taken out of it and said, “this is chocolate, the whole thing is chocolate, this is so awesome.” It was too cute!

Nutter Butter Skulls and Zombie Cookies

We really had fun decorating lots of zombie themed cookies for our display including Nutter Butter Skulls.

Zombie Desserts for a Zombie Party

We needed more room for our Cookies ‘n Cream Fudge Tombstones, Brownie Coffins, Pumpkin Caramels, Zombie Marshmallows, and some handmade Halloween Chocolates, so we created another display on my kitchen desk.

Decorate for a Zombie Party

We added tables covered in blood splattered tablecloths to our living room so our guests could sit and enjoy all their tasty morsels.

Zombie Decorations

One of my favorite decorations at this years party was our zombie family portrait wall.

Family and friends were zombified using a clever zombie app. Even the dogs were zombified!

Mad Scientist Halloween Party Decorations

Our garage was transformed into a laboratory complete with a mad scientist doing experimental work. We served drinks and had more tables and chairs set up for our guests.

Hairy Spider Decorations

Our basement, once again, became a movie theater. The entry into the movie theater was infested with spiders and guests got their hands stuck in spider webs as they made their descent down into the catacombs.

Zombie Movie Theater

Guests entered the cinema and met our zombie ticket taker.

Zombie Concession Stand Halloween Party

Then they could get snacks at the concession stand. This picture was taken before the popcorn and snacks had been put in place.

Halloween Party Movie Theater Decorations

Movies played throughout the party and many guests enjoyed time viewing the show.

Aside from the movies, the kids played games, won prizes, went on a scavenger hunt, and had fun running around playing ghosts in the graveyard.

Halloween Decorations Shelf of Skulls

At the end of the evening, our guests exited past this ghoulish display.

We were so happy to host so many of our friends and family and look forward to our 2013 Halloween party.

    This is awesome!! I run a youth centre and I think your window idea is incredible but Im curious how did your husband build that? Is it hard, or would it be a project we can do with our teens?

    This looks awesome!! I run a youth center and would love to decorate as such. How did your husband build the boarded window panels? Is it a hard task? I would love to get our teens involved in creating a similar look

      The windows popped into our window frames and that was the hardest aspect of building these windows. My friend used them for her party this year and they just hung them so they would have been easier to build to begin with. We created the frame using two by fours. The frame had one by two's attached on the back, and that's what held them into our window frames. If you are just going to hang these, then just make a big rectangle using the two by fours. Paint the frame white. Then cut more boards in various widths and lengths and nail them across the window frame. I hope that simple explanation helps.
