Mount Vesuvius Erupted in 79 AD, Burying Pompeii in Ash for 1,700 Years

Halloween in Pompeii? Imagine transforming your spooky night into an ancient Roman catastrophe! The 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius froze the city in time, preserving eerie plaster casts of fleeing victims—perfect for a doomed empire theme. Dress as a toga-clad citizen mid-scream, with ash-gray makeup and volcanic "lava" props from red LED lights.

Costume Ideas: Gladiator ghosts or cursed nobles; use faux pumice stones as decor. Host a "Last Supper" party with Roman fare like garum-dipped apps, but add fog machines mimicking pyroclastic flows. Fun fact: Bodies were vaporized, leaving voids filled with plaster for haunting replicas—display mini versions for chills!

Channel the tragedy: Play ominous soundtracks of rumbling earth. Safe, historical twist on horror—Pompeii's ruins remind us: one blast, eternal freeze. Boo from beyond the ashes!
