Once you have the drinks and the film, you can set the game’s rules, which will involve some creative and unique ones.

1. Halloween Drinking Game

Get your friends together, pop some popcorn, and get ready to scream – and drink – along with the Halloween blockbuster! This drinking game will help you make the most of your marathon and maybe even help you survive until the end…

You have to take a sip when…

1. If a character says, “Laurie!”

How often do they say her name during the movie? It’s like they forgot she existed for half of it.

2. If the theme music is played

We all know that eerie feeling we get when we hear those first few notes of the Halloween-themed music. Take a drink every time you hear it in the movie – and try not to scream too loud!

3. If Michael is shown without his mask

We catch glimpses of Michael’s face throughout the movies, but his mask always hides it. Prepare to be scared!

4. If somebody is killed

This one is self-explanatory – take a drink every time somebody meets their demise in the movie. Just make sure you don’t scream too loud when it happens…

5. If the characters are preparing to fight the killer

You know the scene – the characters are gathered around, armed with whatever they can find, and they’re getting ready to take on the killer. It’s always a suspenseful moment, so take a drink and prepare for the action!

6. If the group suggests splitting up

We all know this is a bad idea, but the characters always seem to go for it. Take a drink every time somebody suggests splitting up – and hope they make it out alive.

You have to drink a shot when…

Halloween is a bloody movie, so there’s bound to be plenty of blood. Take a shot every time you see some on the screen – and try not to get too queasy!

We’ve all done it – we’re watching a scary movie, and we just can’t handle it. If somebody in the group is caught closing their eyes, looking away, or hiding their face, they have to take a drink. Just don’t let the killer get you…

3. If somebody undresses in the movie

It wouldn’t be a Halloween horror movie without some gratuitous nudity, so take a drink every time somebody takes their clothes off on screen. Just beware of any unexpected scares…

4. If there’s a corpse in the scene

Take a drink every time you see a dead body on screen!

5. If one of you spoils the next scene

If somebody in the group spoils the next scene, they have to take a drink. Just try to keep your screams – and your drinks – under control!
