11 Spooky Virtual Halloween Party Ideas

4. Movie marathon

A movie marathon of Halloween and scary films is the ultimate way to “relax” (depending on the film, it may not be so relaxing after all!). A way to personalize this virtual Halloween party idea could be to create a shared document where guests can list their favorite Halloween films. Then, voting can decide which films are played on the day — an easy method for ensuring that equality is kept on the scariest night of the year. Once the list is finalized, everyone presses play at the same time. The highlight of the evening would be watching other people’s reactions live on a video call, though!

That is, if you haven’t arranged a Peerspace private movie theater venue, which we totally recommend!

5. Tell ghost stories

Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, ghost stories can’t help but send a shiver down your spine, especially if they have been carefully crafted in the most heart-stopping malicious way possible. Each virtual guest could take turns to reveal their ghost stories, and awards could even be given out to the ones who have the most impressive story. Brace yourselves for the ones that start with a ‘true story,’ though.

Make the setting extra spooky by renting a Peerspace cabin in the middle of the woods. For instance, this lakefront cabin in Hartsville, TN is nestled in the woods and, though modern and gorgeous, still gives the impression Jason may be lurking outside once the sun goes down!

6. Play murder mystery games

Murder mystery games are not just for Clue enthusiasts but for anyone who appreciates a spooky whodunit. It’s also one of our most memorable virtual Halloween party ideas that all your guests will remember for many years to come. It encourages you to dress up while acting and embodying your character, all solve the mystery of which among your virtual guests is a cold-blooded murderer.

The choice of venue to participate in this game, in either small groups or as the host, can affect the event’s significance. We love the idea of hosting a virtual murder mystery Halloween party from this Coconut Grove mansion in Miami. It definitely gives classic detective vibes!

7. Write some scary stories

This next virtual Halloween party idea requires you to get your thinking cap on and put on your creativity suit. Designing and constructing a masterful horror story requires patience, a heavy grasp on the art of suspense and linguistic art, as well as a dark and malevolent mind. Telling a story that causes your listeners to shiver would be a memorable story this Halloween.

Maybe personalize your story to make it extra chilling, set the scene with a familiar place, and craft characters that are symbolic of your guests — the ultimate way to give your guests the creeps. To get yourself in storyteller mode, why not book a unique Peerspace retreat venue? For instance, you can actually rent this Chaplin mansion in the woods in Sparta, NJ, that was once frequented by one of cinema’s original storytelling masters, Charlie Chaplin!

8. Arts and crafts

Will kids be attending your virtual Halloween party? If so, this idea is for them! Gather your family and friends together virtually with a few fun Halloween arts and crafts ideas in tow. Text a supply list to the other parents, so they know what to buy in advance. Once you all gather virtually, start crafting!
