Especially love the black googly eye cups, the ice hands, the firepit and the Dracula napkin presentation is so stylish and striking! Favorite “gross out” were the severed finger hot dogs. Please excuse the pun, but I couldn’t quite “stomach” the jack-o-lantern that appeared to be barfing quacamole! Did like the idea of the cheese dip in pumpkin with a candle though – just use a standard carved jack-o-lantern and let Frankenguac do the honors for the guac. Thanks for sharing so many innovative and easy to do Halloween party ideas!
Haha thanks for reading Jill! Happy to help, and yes the barfing jack o lantern might be pushing it…:-)
