1–2 weeks before

Order or bake the cakeA red velvet cake with "Wanna play?" piped in red, or cupcakes with red drizzle.
Buy 16 bottles of waterYou have 16 bottle labels, so that's 2 per guest. Standard 16.9 oz bottles are the easiest to wrap.
Plan the main courseMovie-night pizza and a hot dog bar.
SnacksA popcorn bar, gummy worms and red licorice.
Plan the drinksMake Good Guys Blood Orange Punch (the recipe is after the store list), plus water. Plan for 2–3 drinks per guest.
IceAbout 1 lb per person, so one 10 lb bag.

1–2 weeks before

Buy prizes for every gameWinners pick from the prize basket (see the DIY games below). Plan on 15–20 small prizes.
Movie marathonQueue up Child's Play and a sequel or two. Dim the lights and pass the popcorn.
TriviaPrint this guide and leave the trivia page on the table. It's at the end of this checklist.

1–2 weeks before

Number Scramble: make the numbersWrite one big number per guest (1–8) on half sheets of 8.5 × 11 paper and tape them to the floor around the house. Write the same numbers on slips of paper and put them in a bowl.
Number Scramble: how to playAbout every 15 minutes, ring a bell or play a creepy music-box tune on a speaker. Everyone scrambles to stand on an open number. Draw a slip from the bowl, and whoever is standing on that number picks a prize. Set the winning slip aside so more guests get a turn.
Lucky Plate: mark one plateBefore you set the table, draw a small red X on the bottom of one dinner plate.
Lucky Plate: the revealHalfway through the meal, announce that everyone should check under their plate. Whoever finds the small red X picks a prize.
Prize basketFill a basket with inexpensive prizes for winners to pick from: movie-theater candy boxes, $1–2 scratch tickets, glow sticks and horror-movie candy. Use it for every game. Buy more than you think you'll need. Leftover candy and scratch tickets make great thank-you prizes for your clean-up crew. 😉

1 week before

Buy favor fillers for 8Red licorice, candy eyeballs, glow sticks or a mini scratch-off.
Optional take-homeA leftover cupcake or a bottle of water for the road.

Day before

Wrap the water bottlesPeel off the store labels, wrap with the Chucky labels and chill.
Fill the 8 favor boxes
Make the Number Scramble signs and slips; mark the lucky plateTape the numbers down on party day so they don't get kicked around.
Hang the banners and wall décorPut the wall piece behind the food or photo area, and drape the banner over a doorway or the food table.
Inflate balloonsMix red, black and white. Air-filled clusters last longer than helium. Hang the streamers and scatter the confetti on the table last.
Set out serving dishesFood goes in bowls and on platters, not on the printed plates, so the artwork stays visible.
