So first off: this is for a young kid, like under 10...and no I promise you my son is not Dexter Morgan. He's honestly a very sweet and extremely well mannered kid...who for whatever reason is just super duper obsessed with the macabre and always has been.

I'm gonna have to draw the line on dancing naked in the pale moonlight and anything involving animal slaughter....buuuuuuuuuuut if kiddo wants us all to dress up in black robes and have a pentagram cake with dark twisted decorations for the party....welp...its his day!

Aside from the above any of you got wild suggestions that aren't too extreme? Plan on doing this in my backyard deck for obvious reasons.

    Less for the party but The Satanic Temple (the parody one not the LaVey one) sells really cool membership cards. It was like $25 I think (a donation). I recall seeing they sold out but are back in stock recently.

    They have cool satanic images and then the tenants (usually) on the back -- your kid might love it. I used to love shit with my name on it when I was little

      I've heard tell that they're pretty reactionary/potential grifters/fash at worst in the higher levels, but I'm not plugged in enough to know much more beyond that.

        I've worked with one of the founders. They're likely not Marxist Leninists, are a bit on a power trip, and could very well still hold some reactionary opinions outside of religion (don't we all?)

        But I think they're genuine and certainly do not get fash vibes. Not sure where that is coming from

          Right on! Like I said, I don't pay attention - admittedly all the negativity I've heard does come from posts I've seen shared from....uh, Jex Black-something? The person who got kicked out in that documentary, and I'm certain my brain added in the 'potentially fash' part. Thanks for shedding some light on it.
