'Tis the season for all things spooky so why not get into the spirit of things - see what I did there? - and when you're having your usual get-togethers or nights out with friends this week, why not give the night a spooky twist? All these are super easy and make for a very drunken Halloween celebration, which is what Halloween is all about right? Dressing up and having a laugh, or maybe a scare...

1. Trick or Treat.

Line up six shots and grab a dice. Fill the shot glasses with alternate spirits. For the treat shots use something easy to down but for the trick shots pour in tequila or another hard liquor. Refill the shots as they are used up and mix the numbers up! Good luck trying to remember what happens after the party.

2. Horror Movie Game.

Having a few over to watch one of the many thrillers being shown on TV this week? This game works best with slasher flicks. Everyone picks a character. Whenever your character screams, you take a shot. If a girl dies first then all the girls in the room take a shot; if a guy dies first then all the guys drink. If your character survives you can pick someone else to drink, but if your character dies you've to take two shots. If you correctly guess the killer, or how to defeat the supernatural foe everyone else mixes their drinks together and has to drink the murky Halloween concoction.


3. Spookify your regular drinking games.

Fan of Kings? Instead of a pint glass or red solo cup in the centre of the ring of cards use a plastic pumpkin - or a hallowed out real one if you're feeling really festive. More of a beer pong person? Draw a bloody eye onto the ping pong balls. Might freak out the occasional drunk co-ed.

4. Bobbing for apples.

Miss the innocence of childhood and the ignorance of throwing your face into a basin of water mixed with your friend's drool and snots? Fear not! Instead of the traditional water make the cheapest punch that your student budget can afford or go down the apple route and fill basin with cheap cider. Why not number the apples so the corresponding number refers to the amount of shots that person has to take, or mix it with the Trick or Treat game and they have to choose one of those shots. At least the alcohol might get rid of most of the germs.

5. Cocktail Night.

Have a ton of liquor and not sure what to do with it? Halloween-themed cocktail night. Try these cocktail recipes here, here and here and happy drinking!
