Dress the Part: Decades That Dazzle

Few things are more fun than dressing up in costumes inspired by decades past. The right era sets the mood—and the murder scene.

The Roaring 1920s:
Cue the jazz, feathers, and flapper dresses. This is a time of speakeasies and secret passwords. Our theme Death of a Gangster is perfect for a mobster vibe where everyone’s hiding something (including the killer).

The Glamorous 1930s:
Think Art Deco elegance and old Hollywood mystery. This decade adds a touch of class and a whole lot of drama—perfect for an upscale murder mystery dinner. Our theme Best Laid Plans would be a smart match!

The Sock Hop 1950s:
Poodle skirts and leather jackets aren’t just for Halloween. Picture a high school dance turned deadly and you’ve got our theme A Dance with Death!

The Bold 1980s:
Neon colors, big hair, and bigger secrets. The I Love the 80s to Death theme is totally rad for anyone who loves nostalgia, over-the-top outfits, and surprise betrayals.

The Cool 1990s:
Take a trip back to the days of mixtapes, chokers, and chain emails. The ’90s theme Good Riddance may not seem vintage (yet), but it makes for an unexpectedly fun—and funny—murder mystery backdrop.

Why Themes Matter (and Why You Shouldn’t Plan Alone)

The theme you choose sets everything from the storyline to the costumes. Want an elegant gala mystery full of shadows and secrets? Midnight at the Masquerade would be the sophisticated choice.

The Murder Mystery Company can help match your event to a theme that delivers laughs, suspense, and the perfect dose of theatrical flair.

Even better—they handle the hard stuff. No worrying about scripts, timelines, or whether Aunt Nancy will actually play along. Their team of professional actors keeps the show running smoothly, and the guests immersed in the fun. You just get to enjoy the ride.
