Dan and I threw a murder mystery party for Halloween this year. Everyone had such a fun time a few years ago, that they wanted to do it again. This year we chose an 80's theme - and just like last time everyone went over the top with their characters/costumes.

We decorated the basement with neon colors, records, cassette tapes and 1980's movie posters. We had 80's style games: Twister, Perfection, Connect Four & Rubik's Cubes. We had an array of 80's style snacks including; Bottle Caps, Nerds, Pixi-Sticks, Zotz, Chick-O-Sticks, Candy Cigarettes, Hostess Snacks and Jello Pudding Pops.

Characters at the party included:
Danny Drums and Sally Sax - the marching band duo turned famous for their music work in the movies
Joe and Natalie Nebraska - the jock and head cheerleader
Bryon P. Keaton and Myra S. Keaton - the math nerds who become rich
Cindy Crawfish - class flirt turned model
Mike and Mallory Majesty- the prom king and queen
Molly Ringworm - drama queen turned Hollywood actress
Steven Spielson - Hollywood Director
Pamela Abdul - the pom pom captain turned Hollywood choreographer
Judd Jensen - class stud
Nick and Nancy Nixon - class president turned politician
Bobby Bright - valedictorian turned lawyer
Terry Johnson - hall monitor turned traffic cop
Bailey Babble and Randy Reporter - class gossip and newspaper reporter
B.A. Barricade - punk, turned private security

The entire evening was a riot! There were many colorful characters at the party. Rusty with his orange jumpsuit and black Mohawk. Ryan in his actual basketball shorts from high school. Heidi was hilarious with her math nerd/cheerleader image and braces. Dan wore gold MC Hammer pants and Erica had a "beautiful prom dress!" She actually carried her own red carpet with her everywhere she went. There were lots of leg warmers, off-she shoulder tops, ratted hair and jelly bracelets. James had the perfect nerdy image and Chip has a ridiculous light pink tuxedo. Jaime had on her cheer leading outfit and there were a few mullets as well.

The murder of Steven Spielson was no surprise as no one liked this famous director. He thought he was so much better than everyone else at the party(even taking calls during dinner from Jennifer Aniston - to prive he was famous), but the question was, who would do such a thing? There were many suspects, as many disliked him - was it the musicians who were not paid for their services, Natalie Nebraska who was afraid her affair would come out, the politician's wife who was trying to covering up her husbands indiscretions with Spielsons girlfriend, the actress who had secrets that only Spielson knew? Ultimately the truth would come out as the night progressed!

What a fun evening with friends, nothing like Halloween to spice things up a little bit. Definiatley not your average date night (Dinner and a Movie) IT WAS LIKE, SO MUCH BETTER - TOTALLY RAD!
