Halloween Parties by Sign

Who doesn't love Halloween? A night where you can kick back, have a blast and be someone else for the night is always in spooky style. Whether you're a chill-on-the-couch type, or you fancy yourself a ghost hunter, look no further than your host's horoscope sign to find a fright night fete that will strike your fancy.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Rams are the most likely to go all out for a Halloween bash. Expect their dwelling to be transformed into a haunted house, Halloween to be playing on the DVD player and “The Monster Mash” to be coming out of the speakers. And don't even think about showing up sans costume -- your host is likely to either send you home to change, or usher you into a back room full of outfits and pick one out in your size. This sign may be bossy, but they just want everyone to have a good time, and it usually works.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Bulls want only the best of everything, so expect plenty of luxuries at their bash. There won't be any paper decorations and candy corn at this sign's Halloween party -- expect fancy hors d'ouvres with expensive ingredients, gourmet chocolates and punch made with the finest spirits and liqueurs. Taureans may not be able to get actual ghosts and demons to show up and spook their guests, but they'll definitely try to scare up some ghouls for the big night.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis aren't likely to throw a horror-movie extravaganza for Halloween -- this chatty sign couldn't get through one movie without talking, let alone a whole marathon. A “Ghost Story Gala” theme would be more this sign's speed. Picture a crowd (a big one, since Geminis like to be surrounded by people) telling their favorite scariest tales around a fire. Or better yet, acting them out … in costume.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Crabs would never throw an adults-only Halloween bash. Expect the whole family to be present -- parents, kids, extended family members and tons of friends (who Cancer also considers "family"). This nurturing sign will have no shortage of food and drinks, either -- not only will they have enough candy on hand to feed the neighborhood kids ten times over, but they'll also have low-fat treats for the adults who are watching their weight, sugar-free snacks for the diabetics in the house and alcohol-free ale for those who are driving.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Lions love big bashes full of pomp and circumstance. If you go to a Halloween party at a Leo's house, expect a Renaissance-style masquerade ball, full of elaborate masks, cinched waists and puffy sleeves and skirts. Also expect your host to stay in character all night, channeling Marie Antoinette or Alexander the Great -- this sign probably thinks of themselves as royalty anyway, so they're likely to play the part more than convincingly.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

A Virgo knows that the essentials to any good party are food, beverages and decorations. They aren't likely to go overboard, but they will be well-stocked. They're also excellent party planners, knowing that costume contests and karaoke are more crowd-pleasing activities than standing around the punch bowl. Expect a standard Halloween bash from this sign -- but with the right pacing, enough activities and plenty of healthy snacks mixed in with expected fright-night fare.
