Halloween Party 2010
“Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night,
may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright!”
“THE WOLF MAN”
Universal Pictures, 1941
We love to be scared or at least to pretend to be. The way we celebrate Halloween has evolved over the years and each year the holiday seems to be increasingly more popular. It is not even a very old a tradition in the US, although it may seem like it has always been part of our collective consciousness. It was the classic Universal Pictures horror films that created the images that many of us still associate with Halloween, or at least those of us of a certain age. Although trick or treating for candy remains a privilege for the young, there is no reason why adults can’t thoroughly enjoy a cocktail party with a spooky theme. Ghostly decorating is a blast and creepy music is a must. Go to the trouble of writing out your menu in a creative way so that your victims, I mean guests can approach the feast with the proper dread!
