Men in Black Halloween Party
Our Halloween party went off great. Everyone came in costume and in character! Everyone stayed in character too!
The theme was “Men in Black are recruiting”. So everyone came as someone the Men in Black might want as an agent. Noel was “Marshall Flinkman” from Alias, but as if he was already an agent of the MiB… so he was “Agent M”. Others that were in attendance were Merlin the Wizard, the Lady of the Lake, Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Columbo, Carmen San Diego (Celeste), Clark Kent, Chloe Sullivan, Edgar the bug (from the first MiB movie), Bortasha Badenov, Dr. Emmett Brown, Dr. Evil, Eric Cartman, Edna Mode, Jim Street, Mystique, and Dr. Hank McCoy (the Beast).
Upon arrivaal guests recieved a packet containing their temporary MiB ID card, as well as a list of objectives the participants had to achieve by the end of the night. They had to complete tests in sharp shooting, bomb defusing, awareness and code breaking. They also had to obtain one piece of information from 3 different specified guests. They were also to collect hidden items in the form of a “code”, “alias”, and “passport” cards. All of these things added up to points the recieved at the end of the night, at which point they were also given a 3 page exam. The exam was based on the MiB manual we wrote for the party (email us if you’d like a copy), as well as observation questions from the night, and a general knowledge section. Prizes were awarded for best costume, best character, and best overall score… which won the place in the MiB.
Everyone had a great time!
Finally, here are a few pictures from the party.

Awesome party planning. However, I must admit that since in my heart, you, Noel are the master of all costumes, I am shocked that you were basically a MAN IN A SUIT for Halloween.Seriously, as Dan loaded Elijah’s Mickey Mouse picture on the blog this morning, I thought, “Oh, I hope Noel likes it!” I’m sure your party was lots of fun; it sounds very complicated and marvelous. Carmen Sandiego was gorgeous.Angi L.
