Pajama party movies range from funny to scary, dramatic to intense. Depending on your guests and party theme, movie opportunities are just too many to list. Adults could stay up late and watch scary movies. Perhaps couples would like to snuggle and watch a heartfelt love story. Kids could go all night on a cartoon binge or a whole season of their favorite sitcom. Here are some examples of what kind of movies you should choose depending what type of party you plan on hosting.
A scary movie night is a great group night. People can really get into a good scary movie when the whole crowd jumps or screams at the same time. Set out small tables for everyone’s drinks and snacks so people are not constantly breaking the tension by getting up and down. Turn the lights down low or even off. Get everyone in the mood to be frightened. Turn the music up like in the theaters so everyone is surprised easily. Don’t forget the popcorn and snacks. When people are anxious they want a snack. A good host delivers.
Sitting through a whole trilogy from start to finish is a great pajama party. No one has time these days to finish a whole set of movies. Set aside a night where people can enjoy their favorite story from start to finish. Set up intermissions between movies so everyone has a chance to stretch and go to the bathroom.
A cartoon pajama party can be great for adults as well as kids. Get everyone together for refreshments and their favorite cartoons. Make a mix of all your favorites and share the laughs with everyone. They will probably appreciate it and most likely need it. You could also get a whole season of your favorite cartoon. They usually come with a lot of extra content to watch and play with. A great way to get a conversation started after the cartoons have ended.
If your movie night is to be completely adult oriented make sure your environment is private. Lock the door and turn off your phone to ensure the mood is not spoiled by an unknowing intruder. Lay out plenty of bedding and pillows so everyone is comfortable. Snuggle up to your sweetie over a sappy love story or let everyone get involved in a deep thought provoking movie they are probably not used to. A pajama party movie could be anything, just don’t fall asleep, it is a party!
