I was working in the lab late one night...When my eyes beheld an eerie sight...For my monster from his slab began to rise...And suddenly to my surprise...He did the mash...He did the monster mash...The monster mash...It was a graveyard smash.....

It's witching time again and you're ready to throw a big Halloween party for all of your ghoulish friends!  What treats shall you make?  What drinks shall your serve?  What costume are you going to wear?  So to help you out, we collected a monster-sized collection of some great spooky ideas to help you put together a frightfully fun party!

Halloween Treats Cookies & Cupcakes are a must have for any Halloween haunt.

It's all about the Halloween theme when it comes to tricks, treats and Hallween sweets.

Make sure all your treats look like witches, webs and skeleton heads.  Zombies, goblins, ghosts and ghouls.  Bugs, bats, spiders and cats.  Coffins, cauldrons, brooms, and graves.  All painted black, orange, green and grey.

So check out the Halloween Treat section with recipes for cookies, cupcakes, caramel apples, popcorn balls and more!
 

Halloween Party Drinks are great to keep all your creepy creature friends hydrated.

There are adult drink recipes like the "Green Goblin" and the "Pumpkin Martini". 

There are also some ideas for the more family oriented parties serving punch.

But whatever you choose be sure that you give them some great names and placed on a well decorated table with a cauldron of dry ice pouring smoke over the table.

Check out all the drink ideas in our Halloween Party Drink section and remember to play it safe and make sure your party friends have designated drivers.

Halloween Party Decorating is critical to get everyone in the mood. 

There are so many different things you can do, but you've got to have pumpkins, skulls and lots of spider webs!

It's also fun to have an assortment of songs that are very Halloween-ish.  Like the Monster Mash, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Tubuler Bells from the Exorcist, I'm your Boogeyman and Nightmare on my Street by Jazzy Jeff.

You also want to have a few Halloween decorations that make scary sounds when they are stepped on or touched.  Available at most Halloween stores.

Halloween Pumpkin Carving
provides some great decorations for your Halloween party. 

Pumpkin carving is really quite easy and fun.  And remember, you are always better off using the store bought pumpkin carving kits that have knives that do not have sharp edges.  Better safe than sorry.

Halloween Party Food and Snacks for all your starving spooks.

Eyeball meatballs, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins and pumpkin soup.

There are just so many different things you can serve, but as suggested before, give them all some scary names.
