Halloween Party 2008

I had so much fun planning this spooky halloween bash with my roommate Alex. We purchased majority of our decor at the Dollar Tree, Goodwill and some from Party City. For instance, the candle holder and the red dress were purchased at the Goodwill, a total of $7.98.  The spider webs, black roll to cover up the walls, skeletons and some of the party trays were purchased at the Dollar Tree. The ugly lady bride, tombstone, forest wall decor and frame at Party City. We converted the entire living room, our garage and restroom into a fright fest. In the garage, where most of the party took place, we had the cemetery, dancing, drinks and food.

I think the most fun was planning and labeling our menu. For drinks we did wine with spooky labels purchased at Walmart and spiked punch in a cauldron. For dinner we had chicken wings, pasta salad, deviled eggs, veggie platter. For dessert, I made brownies with walnuts and almond cookies shaped in fingers with sliced almonds as nails. For extra fun we gave each platter a fun halloween name.

For the restroom, we took out the light bulb and had flickering battery operated candles illuminating the room. A screeching scream followed by psycho theme song played along every time door swung open. Behind the door, on a towel hook, hung a scary little clown which faced directly to the toilet. The shower curtain was clear covered in fake blood stains. On one end of the tub we had part of a wig hanging out and on the other end of the tub we had a severed leg. Guest either ran out of their scared, or quickly peed in the dark. 
I enjoyed every minute of planning each and every detail of this party.
