Nowadays, zombies seem to be all the rage. From movies to TV shows, zombie apocalypse survival guides to Halloween costumes, it’s hard to escape this undead phenomenon. If you’re planning a zombie party, you may want to consider adding some creepy decorations to set the mood. One great idea is to use zombie specimen labels, like the one featured in this image:
Zombie Specimen Label
This label, created by the talented Memnalar.deviantart.com, is perfect for adding a touch of zombie horror to your party decor. The label is designed to look like an old-timey medical specimen label, complete with a detailed drawing of a zombie head and a description of the specimen.
According to the label, this zombie specimen has “dulled reflexes, rotting flesh, and a voracious appetite for human brains.” Yikes! It’s certainly enough to give your guests a fright.
If you’re wondering how to incorporate this label into your party decor, there are a few different options. For example:
- Print out multiple copies of the label and stick them on jars filled with creepy items, like gummy worms or plastic eyeballs. This will give your guests a feeling of stepping into a mad scientist’s laboratory.
- Enlarge the label and use it as a backdrop for photos. This will give your guests a spooky memento to take home with them.
- Stick the label onto a plain white t-shirt and wear it yourself as the host of the party. This will show your guests that you mean business when it comes to zombie horror.
However you choose to use this zombie specimen label, it’s sure to add a touch of creepy fun to your party. So go ahead and embrace the undead - after all, who doesn’t love a good zombie apocalypse?
Another great option for zombie party decorations is zombie handprints. You can create these using a mix of cornstarch and water, which creates a sort of moldable dough. Simply press your (clean) hand into the dough, then carefully remove it. Once the dough has dried, you’ll be left with a zombie handprint that looks eerily realistic.
Zombie Handprints
As you can see in this image, the finished product looks like something straight out of a horror movie. You can use these handprints to decorate your walls, or even place them strategically on the floor so that guests will feel like they’re walking through a zombie-infested wasteland.
To add an extra touch of realism, you can also paint the handprints with fake blood or green food coloring. This will make them look even more gory and terrifying. And if you’re feeling extra creative, you can even add bite marks or scratches to the handprints, to make them look like they were left by real-life zombies.
Note that this recipe does require some trial and error to get the consistency just right - too much water and the dough will be too thin, while too much cornstarch will make it impossible to shape. But with a little practice, you’ll be able to create perfect zombie handprints every time.
Of course, no zombie party would be complete without some zombie-themed games. One popular option is “Zombie Tag,” where players have to avoid being “infected” by other players who have been turned into zombies. This can be played either indoors or outdoors, and can be adapted to suit any age group or skill level.
Zombie Tag
As you can see in this image, zombie tag can get pretty intense. Players have to use their wits and agility to avoid being caught by the zombie horde, while the zombies themselves have to work together to corner their prey.
In addition to zombie tag, there are plenty of other zombie-themed games and activities you can try. For example:
- Zombie Charades: Players have to act out famous zombie movies, TV shows, or books, while their teammates try to guess what they’re portraying.
- Zombie Hunt: Set up a scavenger hunt where players have to find various zombie-related items hidden around your party space.
- Zombie Makeup Station: Set up a table with makeup and fake blood, and let your guests transform themselves into their own undead alter egos.
With the right decorations and games, your zombie party is sure to be a hit. So break out the fake blood, dust off your best zombie shuffle, and get ready to scare the pants off your guests!
