Halloween Party 2010


Hey, there you are! Thanks for coming. Cool costumes. Come on in and let’s get started.
Hands out of the candy by the door. It’s for the trick or treaters.

Now, everyone find a seat. There’s popcorn on the coffee table. Help yourself. I also have drinks, candy, and other goodies for all on the dining room table. There’s pigs in the blanket, toasted nachos with cheese, and green punch. There is also cookies, candied apples, and cake.








For those who wish, I’ll be making Bloody Marys and Midnight Margaritas.
























Now then, what shall we watch first? How about something fun like A Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride. I love Tim Burton movies.








































Or maybe a little scare. I so love to watch B movies from the 50s.















Or maybe we could watch one of the movies that truly scared me. This is one of the best ghost stories I have ever read or seen.















Ok, everyone got snackies? (Barney! Get down. You don’t get sweet snacks. Sorry , folks. My cat is a pig.) Let’s get started…

...lights out.

Hope everyone has a lovey time party hopping from Vanessa's Halloween party 2010.

Hi Kelly - pour me a glass of that green potion would you - it looks delightfully intoxicating! If you like spooky films, then maybe you'll enjoy my creepy story... beware of music in the woods...

Those are some seriously awesome treats! And a Tim Burton movie - especially Nightmare - is definitely great for the occasion. Thank you for inviting us to play!

I would be most delighted if you came to visit my enchanted Halloween Faerie Tale & giveaway:

Ohhhhh....googles....what a fab party you have going on here. I have snatched a glass of that steaming green punch and am making my way through the front room to mingle with your guests. What a spooky party...hope you don't mind if I hang out here for awhile until I have to go back to the Manor to tend to my own guests.

Thanks for coming by my party...please do make your way back at least once more tonight for a bit more fun. Robert Downey Jr. is hoping for a stroll out on the dance floor with you!! :D

Check out Harrington Manor Ball today.

Thanks for the party!

True story when Mom was a girl she was eating a bag of popcorn at the movies and watching the preview for the Fog. Suddenly a hand jumped out of the fog and Mom threw her hands up in surprise and the popcorn went everywhere (including her hair). All the theater laughed and laughed.

Boo!

ps: Your Halloween music list is so good that I kept your blog open for hours, and am listening to the whole thing.... From oldies to Mariyn Manson.. right now I am screaming with Marilyn... tee heee ;)

Thanks for your selection, it rocks!

Oh the memories your post conjures. I have such a craving for popcorn balls....

Romeo said...

Ooops! Sorry Barney and I just finished off the green punch and the cookies....I didn't realize that we weren't allowed up on the table....dressed in our best mouse costumes, everyone thought we were really cute. Does that count?! Of course most of them thought we too big for mousies, but rather the size of large rats....those snacks sure were good.....thanks so much for inviting me! Barney and I had a wonderful time!

Purrs!

Such a fun party! Thank you for inviting me and for visiting mine! Mmmm! Bloody Marys (I actually prefer Virgin Marys, but I love them extra-SPICY!) And such fun movies you picked! We have our standard Halloween movie must-watch list too!

Wishing you a wonderful blog-visiting weekend!

Molly Anne said...

Yay! Snacks and movies! Margarita for me please! I love cheesy old movies (Plan 9 From Outer Space anyone?) although...I have YET to see Corpse Bride so maybe we should watch that one. I know, can you believe it?

Wendy said...

That was fun watching the movies and pigging out on all the goodies. And in honor of Nikodemus, my girls (my two cats) bring over catnip to place on an altar in love and remembrance.
