Tale of Horror Halloween Party for Adults

Weave a tale of fright this Halloween with a grown-up party that honors the master of macabre himself, Edgar Allen Poe.

Night of Terror

Set the literary theme for the horror party by welcoming guests with a vignette that pays homage to Edgar Allen Poe, a spooky story master. Write this familiar line from Poe's "The Raven" on a blackboard (or black poster board). Set the sign on a table with volumes of Poe's work, a length of tattered cheesecloth, pumpkins, and any other Halloween-appropriate accessories. A vintage typewriter also helps set the literary theme.
