Tips for this pack

Halloween words share a lot, like "dark", "night" and "scary". Those make safe first clues, so save the sharper detail for your second turn.
Some words come in close pairs, like Vampire and Dracula or Ghost and Phantom. In similar word mode, listen for a clue that fits the pair but not the exact word.
At a costume party, let each player give their clue in character. It adds laughs without changing any of the rules.
