A black and white Halloween party is a classic way to celebrate this spook-tacular holiday.
Easily adapt this party theme for any age range simply by adjusting your decorations to be more whimsical for kids or more sophisticated for adults.
Think about it. Just about anything you need for a party can easily be found in black and white:
- Tablecloths,
- Printable Halloween party decorations,
- Plates, forks, and napkins,
- Balloons,
- Banners and garlands,
- Even party food can be made black and white (or close to black if you use chocolate)
Not only that, this is probably the most affordable color scheme you can think of. Dollar Stores are filled with black and white items. You can even raid the sales after New Year’s Eve for black and white decor.
And to get you started, today I’m sharing 19 hauntingly fun black and white Halloween party ideas.
We’re covering everything here from snacks and appetizers, to home decor, and even tablescapes. So grab your party planner, pick your favorites, and get started creating a spooktacular celebration.

I adore that Martha wreath! I must confess that we don't do much for Halloween, because the trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood have a tendency to be over the age of 16 and don't even come in a costume. Usually it's a teenage boy standing on the front porch with a garbage bag in hand. Maybe I'll make an exception this year and hang a wreath.
