- Halloween punch. To prepare an unforgettable party beverage, prepare a light-colored cocktail, and with Halloween-shaped Jell-O forms make some "ice cubes" with different monster shapes. Such as a hand form with a frozen red juice in it.

A few minutes before your party starts, get frozen juice out of the form and place it into punch bowl. You will have a scary moving hand in the bowl and it will also make your cocktail cooler.

- Spider web cupcakes – These cakes will certainly be a favorite on your Halloween menu. You will need to prepare a large amount of cupcakes; chocolate, apple flavor or pumpkin are some of the common options. Then crown them with a white or cream cheese topping. As a final touch, decorate the top of every cupcake with spider web design made out of black food coloring. The best way is to create few concentric rings using the black icing, then drag a toothpick through the topping going from the midpoint of your web. Drag the toothpick this way not more then four or five times to crate a lifelike spider web. It is also a good idea to used Halloween paper cupcake liners.

  1. That is really interesting post on Halloween party ideas! I am glad to have these party inspirations. Well, last year I hosted adult Halloween at one of domestic garden venues in Los Angeles. It was an all night bash and everyone had blasting time.
