There’s a chill to the wind and a nip to the air, everything smells like pumpkin spice, and you’ve got that costume you’ve been dying to wear for months ready to go – it’s time to hit the Halloween Parties that the season has to offer! Here are our ideas for your Halloween Entertainment this year!
While we here at About Faces love all parties and celebrations from christenings to corporate galas, we have to admit that Halloween has a special place in our hearts. This is a time of year for spooky silliness, scary nights out with friends, horror movies and hayrides!ย The energizing cool of fall draws out so many friends and loved ones to all sorts of fun festivals, parades and private gatherings. It’s a time to gather with family, friends, and community to enjoy these perfect temperate days before winter begins. As a matter of fact, October tends to be the busiest month for events out of the whole year ! Not a lot of folks would guess that, but a perfect storm of weddings, fall festivals, and Halloween Parties makes it a hectic few weeks for us here at About Faces. But you won’t catch us complaining, because like I said, we love Halloween!
What makes Halloween an event agency’s favorite holiday?
Well, for us, it has to do with the artistic creativity and exciting experiences that this season allows us to create. Almost every day of the year, we’re sending out caricature artists, face painters, and balloon twisters out to events, and guests always love to see their portrait, balloon sword, or unicorn face paint, of course! But when you create those designs day after day, it’s such fun to be able to branch out and enjoy some wackier and more season-specific art styles and designs. For artists, experimenting with new color palettes, themes, and characters invites a wave of brand-new concepts every year. Just check out how unique and clever some of the designs pictured on this page are! We always love to see what new and cool ideas our talent has dreamed up since last Halloween.
What is the most popular form of Halloween entertainment?
We book Fortune Tellers year round but Halloween is undoubtedly their busiest season! There is something about the holiday that gets people interested in the unknown, the supernatural, and the occult – and our Fortune Tellers are here to walk you through it! Whether you are looking for a Tarot Reader or Palmist, Tea-Leaf Readings or for someone to gaze into a crystal ball to see your future, our professional entertainers are ready to arrive to your party and pull back the curtain to the unknown! Be advised that our professional fortune tellers offer their services for entertainment purposes only, and keep things light at your party – don’t be afraid!
What’s special about Halloween entertainment?
The difference is definitely in the details! Our artists spend all year honing their skills at a variety of events, and Halloween gives them a chance to mix it up and try something different. Every type of entertainment that we offer can get a spooky makeover – here’s some of the ways that standard entertainment options can become the highlight of a Halloween party!
- Caricaturesย
- Zombie Caricatures – Each one of your event guests can be drawn into a custom zombie character straight out of your favorite scary movie!
- Costume Caricatures – When your artist is drawing your guests in full color with background & body details, their caricature will be a great memento of their awesome costume and your party!
- Face Painters
- Costume Paint – Are you dressing up as a cat this year? The artist at your party can add a picture-perfect nose and whiskers to your outfit to make your costume the most memorable one at the function!
- Halloween Themes & Characters – Wednesday Addams, spooky bats, zombies, gravestones and more can be whipped up by request!
- Stilt Walkers
- Scary Characters – There’s no denying that a character on stilts gets a reaction out of folks – usually big smiles and an excited wave for an extra-tall Uncle Sam or fairy princess. For Halloween, other characters are available to delight or terrify your guests. Scary witches, sky-high zombies ready to lurch, towering ghosts haunting your event grounds… stilt-walkers make a big statement!
What if I’m planning a Halloween party, but I don’t want things to be scary?
Halloween entertainment is for everyone, littles and scaredy-cats included! Our artists and entertainers can bring an unforgettable bespoke experience to your event without making anyone frightened by focusing on other kinds of autumn aesthetics. Happy pumpkins, friendly ghosts, scarecrow stilt-walkers and harvest inspired designs are a great alternative option for anyone wanting to celebrate the spooky season without crossing the line into scary.
