HAPPY HALLOWEEN HAUNTING!

Having the little ghoul's over for the HALLOWEEN party and you wonder how anybody could be less clever than you?  Don't despair.  Here are some easy and fun party ideas!

Halloween Scene

Scary Storytelling
For the older & braver Halloween crowd!  You need a good story teller and a dark room for this one. The story teller tells of an old man who lived in an old house on the hill.   No one ever knew what became of him but eventually many body parts showed up around there .  As the story teller tells of the body parts, pass these yucky suggestions around in separate boxes so the guest can reach in and feel them!

Find your own scary Halloween story to frighten your friends!
Bones - Carrots
Brains - Crumbles tofu
Eyeballs - Peeled grapes
Intestines - Wet spaghetti
Fingers - Cheese sticks
Liver - A  canned peach
Skin - Oil a flour tortilla
Teeth - Un-popped popcorn
Tongue - Slice of bologna
Hair - Corn silk
Hand - Fill a latex glove with water, drape it over a bowl to give it some shape and freeze it.  Just before the party, stick it in a box with some dirt so they will have to feel around for it.

Halloween Witch's Brew
Add green food coloring to lemonade.  Place in a punch bowl, and or better if you have a witch's cauldron. add Ice cubes (see ice cube recipe).

Hanging Skeleton

Halloween Frozen Hands
Fill a powderless surgical glove with water (you can add food coloring to make it a color).  Hang the gloves in the freezer and freeze overnight.  Before serving cut the glove off and place in punch bowl. Caution: Some people are allergic to latex.

Halloween Worm Ice Cubes
Freeze gummy worms in ice cubes.

Halloween Pumpkin Server
Hollow out a pumpkin and serve veggies in it! Or use our pumpkin cooler to serve canned drinks.

Halloween Graveyard Dip
16 oz. Refried Beans
1 cup salsa
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 T sliced black olives
1 T chopped green onions
Tortilla chips
Layer glass baking pan with first 5 ingredients.  cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted, about 15 - 20 minutes.
Garnish with rest of items and serve with tortilla chips.

Halloween Bat Wings
Place chicken wings in Bar-B-Que. sauce and bake in 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes.

Halloween Decorations

Halloween Headstone Dessert
Prepare chocolate pudding according to package directions.  Put in individual serving cups.  Top pudding with crushed Oreo cookies and insert any plain rectangular cookie into the pudding to resemble a tombstone.  You can dress this up by using cake frosting to write the name of your guest on the cookie or put RIP.

Halloween Boo How-To

Just because the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler, doesn't mean you have to remain inside cooped up away from friends and neighbors.  Get outside and enjoy the moonlight with this fun and friendly Halloween activity that stays clear of the tricks and makes the treats oh so sweet!

As Halloween approaches, maybe the week or so before the 31st, make up 3 or 4 goodie Bags with fun Halloween favors inside.   Use a fun mix of candy, toys, and wearables so that the whole family will have something to enjoy.  Here are some ideas to help fill your bags:

Multicolored Pumpkin Light
Alien Test Tube Slime
Boo Straws
Pumpkin Nail Polish
Spider Yo-Yo Ball
Glow Items
Head Boppers
Cherry-Filled Eyeball Gumballs
Flashing Halloween Rings

Make a small sign to put on your neighbor's door that says, "We've Been Boo'd".  Maybe have your kids draw a picture of a ghost on the sign for added fun and color. 

Halloween Party Supplies

Next, print off the following poem and stick a copy in each goodie bag to explain the surprise and to make sure the fun gets spreads to all!

Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
For Halloween spirits, for ghosts and cats,
For weird happenings and witches' brew,
These are the things that I wish for you...

May the only spirit you chance to meet
Be the spirit of love and friends warm and sweet.
May the only goblin that comes your way
Be this Neighborhood Phantom you must give away.

"Tis much better to give than to receive" goes the old verse
And something this easy won't empty your purse.
It's your turn to pass along a treat and a BOO
Because now the Neighborhood Phantom is little old YOU!

So by this time tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give to them each a Halloween treat.
You have only one day - so you'll need to hurry -
Leave a treat on the doorstep, ring the bell and then scurry!

Signed,

The Phantom!

So fill up your goodie bag, fill a few Balloons with Helium, and tie them to the handles for a boo-rific surprise!  After dark, maybe right before bedtime, dress your kids in all black and sneak out for some crazy, quiet, sneaky fun!  Here's how it works:  Creep up to your friend's door and attach the ghost sign to the front door, leave the goodie bag with the poem at the step, ring the doorbell and RUN LIKE CRAZY!  Do this to 3 or 4 neighbors in one evening.  The idea is for everyone in the neighborhood to get "boo'd" and besides, it's always a festive mystery to find out who did the "booing" and where it started.
