Scary Kids Halloween Costumes

I am having a costume party on Halloween night, and I am inviting exactly 50 people, boys and girls. They are all going into 6th grade, so its an age group of 11-13 year olds. We are going to have it at my aunts house, who lives out in the country with a VERY big yard, and she lives by the woods. (not in, but her house is surrounded by the woods from the sides and the back, not the front.) We are going to have an LCD projector and bedsheets as a screen, so that we can watch a PG-13 horror type movie outside, like in a drive-in. I don’t know what movie to get. (Maybe The Priest, or Insidious? Movie reviews if you have seen either of them.)

We are going to have a contest for Best Costume Overall, Creepiest Costume, Greatest Group Costumes, Best Identity Hiding Costume, and Most Creative Costume. What should I give out as prizes?

We decided on having 4 or 5 different snacks out, about a hundred of each. What snacks are quick and easy, but still filling and delicious? We are also going to have big bowls of punch out. Where can I find a recipe for that punch with dry ice so that it has a smokey fog kind of thing that goes around it? (links for snacks and punch. snacks do NOT have to be Halloween themed, as I find that they are all pretty much the same.)

Me and my friends are going to try and raise a bunch of money for decorations. We are going to go to Party City when we have a lot of money raised. We are going to get some pretty awesome decorations, but they will cost a lot. What can I do to raise money? (I get allowance and I can babysit for people. Maybe do odd-jobs around neighborhood?)

I have a few CD’s with Halloween music on them, but I want to have just regular music too. Any good dance songs and artists that have CD’s out right now, or have their songs on iTunes?

I am going to be a zombie, like from the seventies, which is when they say "Punk Died." so I am going to be a punk zombie, with "Punk Is Dead" written in bloody writing on the back of my shirt. Any other ideas for the rest of my costume?

We are going to play games in the dark, like a creepy version of Hide and Seek, the Seekers try to find and scare the Hiders before the Hiders see them and scare the Seekers, if that makes any sense. (it’s easier to explain while doing actions and actually being there to SAY it.)

We are going to try and get a DJ, but if we can’t, we are just going to get a boom-box and strobe lights and all that. I also will need to get a microphone for my karaoke system, so that I can talk and everyone will hear me (my friends can get REALLY loud!) and so that we can have singing and rapping free-style at my party too. (links on eBay or Amazon for microphones?)

And finally: After reading this, what do you think my party is going to be on a scale from 1-10?
Does it sound like a party you would want to go to? It will be from 7:00 p.m. till after midnight.
What time should I have people go home? (it really sucks, because school is the next day, but we will ALL be tired anyways, so who cares? Also, we will be wearing bits of our costumes to school the next day, and acting like our "characters" all day. THAT will be pretty funny!)

10 pts to best answer! (and sorry for making this so long!!! )
