Cannibal-themed Halloween dinner party

I remember visiting “haunted houses” as a child, and I don’t know if it was just where I lived or what, but it seemed like almost all of them had a mad scientist’s lab, and sometimes, said scientist passed around bowls of “body parts”, which we were told to touch and taste.

Dipping my hand into a bowl of Spagettios in a dark room (while someone in a lab coat and Einstein wig tells me to FEEL THE BRAINS) would probably not provide much amusement at age 34. But as an 8-year-old kid, DUDE! - it was totally cool!

If canned pasta doesn’t cut it for adults, how do you freak them out with food? Well, how about a dinner party with a menu like this:

• Icy Hands Punch, Chilled Brain Spread, and Peppered People Pate
• Alien Autopsy Shooters
• Eyes in Blood Sauce
• Brain on a Plate, and Roasted Long Pig
• Chilled, Bloody Heart

That’s what worked for the project master at imakeprojects.com, who served up a freaky feast for his Halloween party guests last year… and he details the diabolical dinner so you can try you hand at it, too!

Food and Halloween props have something in common - a large part of success is the presentation. So it’s a natural combination. For my 2005 Halloween party I hosted a creepy supper - everything was guaranteed 100% edible and tasty (in other words, 100% “real food”) but those with weak constitutions might find out just how much the presentation affects their perception of food…
