Halloween 2010 Party Ideas- The Vampire’s Ball
Elite Goth
Looking for a great Halloween 2009 party idea? Go no further, consider the “Vampire’s Ball” for a truly unforgettable and memorable event. This is a formal gala affair, with lots of sophisticated and seductive Gothic ladies and gentleman all with rather long teeth and an insatiable thirst for blood!
Perhaps you remember the old 1960′s Hammer Studios Film? The young English newlyweds, circa 1890s, are traveling across Europe by horse-drawn coach on their honeymoon. Of course, their route happens to take them through mysterious and foggy Transylvania. While stopped at the local Inn for an extended layover, they receive an invitation to a Masked Ball from a local nobleman, to be held at his castle that very night. Overwhelmed and flattered by such a gracious invitation, the young couple, dressed in their finest Victorian party clothing, proceed to the faraway castle aboard the Count’s very own carriage, dispatched to the inn to pick them up.
The Ball is a splendid affair, with an orchestra playing, couples dancing in their finest Victorian era party attire (and of course their ornate party masks), wonderful food and drink. The charming, aristocratic Count graciously interacts with his guests, meeting and greeting them with an air of power and sophistication. He seems especially charming and attentive to the young English bride, in spite of her husband’s obvious discomfort.
At the stroke of midnight – the masks are removed! The revelers are all exposed as vampires beneath their party masks. The count sweeps the young wife off her feet and carries her off for a little blood letting, while the young Englishman barely escapes with his life, unfortunately, minus his pretty young wife.
As a theme for a Halloween party this could be awesome. The variety of different vampire costumes and persona’s could make this fun to plan, as well. A real Gothic bash, where something especially creepy and sinister is revealed at midnight. The Gothic undead really know how to party – surprise!
A vampire ball sounds like a fabulous costume party idea. Even if you do not have the funds to have an orchestra play, the idea of removing your mask at the stroke of midnight is such a great tradition!

I think a vampire themed party is a great idea for Halloween, not only because there are so many different styles of vampire costumes that you can choose from, but also you can really go to town on the decorations and props for your party. You could hang up bats, make a coffin out of cardboard boxes taped together and have your whole house lit up with candles and red light bulbs – it would be a lot of fun!!
