Drips of Blood tablecloth: a decoration for even the most serious Halloween parties!With under a month until Halloween, you may be getting stressed about organising your Halloween party! What should you do? When should you be doing it? We previously posted the ultimate Halloween party guide so check it out for the lowdown on how to get the most of out October 31st!

And here are another few tips to make sure your party goes off with a bang:

• Apple bobbing makes a great group game and ensures everyone's having fun.
• Ensure everyone has sleeping arrangements sorted so they can enjoy themselves without worrying.
• Sort out a decent sound system. Movies are made by the music, and so are Halloween parties. They're all about the atmosphere.
• Buy some scary movies if the atmosphere gets subdued slightly. That way you can continue the celebrations in a different way, and everyone can relax.
• Make sure the kids are having fun. Organise a treasure trail or spooky DVD for them to watch.
• Most importantly, ENJOY YOURSELF! Halloween only happens once a year so make the most of it.
