Ghosts. Witches. And Pumpkins. Oh my!

The scary holiday is slowly creeping up and before we know it, the ghouls and frights will be knocking at our doorsteps.

Prepare yourself for the scary fun by throwing a Halloween bash at home that screams perfection. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

 

Haunting Décor

You can choose a theme like Old Hollywood Horror or Spooky Purple Glam to keep your decoration cohesive. For a unique Halloween look, create do-it-yourself hacks like floating witch’s hats, a mummy door and snake wreath.

 

The Libations

Known as the black widow, this cocktail may have bite, but we promise you’ll shriek with delight. Dress up your cocktail by dipping the glass in purple-colored sugar and adding a black and white striped paper straw and fresh blackberries. For a darker turn, whip up a black magic shimmering cocktail that’s made with black vodka, orange and cherry juice.

 

Killer Dessert

Delight your guests with some holiday treats like pumpkin cheesecake balls that don’t require any baking, zombie brain cupcakes which would be perfect for any Walking Dead-themed celebration, or some delicious honey crisp apples that are synonymous with fall.
