\u201cIs that your cat?\u201d I asked as I scooped handfuls of candy into the younger boy\u2019s trick-or-treat bag. The older boy, holding the cat, said, \u201cYup! He loves Halloween just as much as we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had been waiting all night for trick-or-treaters, but most seemed reluctant to approach my apartment which is, not kidding, behind a funeral home. But these kids had seen my lights from the street; I had orange lights in the shape of an arrow pointing to my door. As a cat lover, I couldn\u2019t imagine a better surprise\u2014trick-or-treaters AND a feline in one go?<\/p>\n

I poured all the candy from my bowl into their open bags, along with some Halloween stickers for their youngest sibling who was at home. Afterwards, I was giddy with excitement. It was the first time trick-or-treaters had visited our apartment, and it felt like a total success.<\/p>\n

I love Halloween. I love the silly spookiness, I love the candy, I love giving my normally bright and cheery apartment a gothic makeover, and I love dressing up. I throw big Halloween parties every year and organize a Halloween gift exchange at the office<\/a>, too. It\u2019s hilarious to see my friends shed their suits and ties and responsibilities to let loose. Last year, my husband and his best friend dressed like Bert and Ernie, complete with massive character heads, and had a breakdancing competition\u2014I laughed so hard I almost snorted candy corn out of my nose!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what makes Halloween so uniquely fun. Over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year\u2019s, there\u2019s always so much to do; making plans and coordinating travel can get stressful. But at Halloween, I feel like a kid again, dressing up in some crazy costume, playing games, and eating candy for dinner.<\/p>\n

This year, treat your friends to a Halloween they\u2019ll never forget by throwing a big party featuring one (or all!) of these spooktacular Halloween party games for adults. Things are bound to get a little crazy\u2014after all, when you have an adult metabolism and eat nothing but candy for supper, you\u2019re bound to start feeling kind of wacky!<\/p>\n

Hide and Spooky<\/i>: A Halloween Party Game Just for Adults<\/h4>\n

\u201cStay completely still,\u201d I thought as I crouched in the darkness. I couldn\u2019t let him find me. Then, footsteps. I could hear the sound of two feet shuffling outside my hiding place. Closer, then closer still. Until, suddenly\u2014\u201cAAaarrGhhhHhh!!!!!\u201d We both screamed in unison as I jumped from the darkness, me wearing a gruesome zombie mask. I thought my friend, the seeker in our game of Hide and Spooky<\/i>, was going to pass out from shock.<\/p>\n

I loved playing Hide and Seek<\/i> as a kid but, in those days, I didn\u2019t want to get caught. Hide and Spooky<\/i> is a totally different ball game. Think of it as a terrifying, impromptu haunted house you and your friends put on.<\/p>\n
