Party Wednesday: Mad Scientist’s Laboratory

             This week we are sticking with the Halloween themes and going with mad scientist laboratory.  With the film I, Frankenstein coming out soon I thought a mad scientist theme would be perfect.  Thought I doubt the film will have any resemblance to the brilliant novel, none the less many people still fear science and what better way to do so than with a mad laboratory.

Décor

            Upon entering the laboratory, hang up sheets of plastic on the door frame.  This will make your guests feel like they are entering a hazards area.

  Upon entering the key idea is to have to room dram, only using black lights and blue or green lighting behind your decorations. 

For a creepy lighting factor you can make your own light box to display x-rays on.

 Also adding some electrical bulbs look cool as well.

The next big thing is the decorations.  I would encourage using glass jars of various sizes and shapes to place objects and specimens in.

Also using glass beakers, test tubes, and petri dishes for décor and plating food and drinks in. 

Finish off with some dry ice in beakers or a fog machine. 

Be sure to have you and your guest dress up as either scientists or Frankenstein like creatures.

            Just a little bouncing off point before you and your guests descend into madness.  I tried to cover a broad range but you can easily narrow down your type of mad scientist.  I will have a post on soothing on Friday, so come back for more of my babbling of a crazy woman.

See you on the other side
