Halloween isn’t always just about the kiddos! What could be more fun than throwing a small dinner party for your girlfriends – a Ghoul’s Night In, perhaps? This is a glimpse of my very first Ghoul’s Night In, when I was still living in Dallas. I hope it gives you a few ideas for your next Halloween Party!
The centerpiece for this table is simple, but with the addition of colorful stemware, a few candles, a decorative menu and place card/party favor, this party is frighteningly simple and fun!
One of my favorite details from this Halloween tablescape is the Witch’s Paper Shoe. Not only does it serve as a place card, but it’s a fun party favor too (the stocking is filled with candy). This paper shoe project is from a Papercrafts magazine several years ago. {To download the shoe template, click here.} Adorned with a grosgrain ribbon and small silver buckle, these shoes are simply adorable – your girlfriends will love them!
And for the menu?
To Start – Pumpkin Gut Soup (a delicious Pumpkin Soup recipe from the Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen Cookbook)

Main Course – Scream Beans, Scalped and Mashed Potatoes, and Grilled Legs (chicken legs with dry rub of course!)
For Dessert – Coffin Cake (coffee cake) with “Eye Scream” and Blood Sauce (Raspberry topping)
You can even keep drinks for the party in-theme with Vampire Vineyards wine and martinis made from Blavod (black vodka) with “eyeballs” (pearl onions).
Just a few of these details are sure to make for a spooktacular evening!
