Isn't Halloween the strangest of holidays? This morning in my neighborhood I saw an ax-murderer silhouette in someone's upstairs window. In any other season I might have called the police. Can you imagine what people who are unfamiliar with American culture must think of a holiday that celebrates all things dead, gory, and grotesque? If I were having a Halloween party, I'd send out this blood spatter invitation.
And I'd wear Essie's nail color Wicked. I will wear it all winter long, not just Halloween, by the way.
I'd serve
Sinister Cider in these killer bird glasses while showing Alfred Hitchcock's
The Birds in the background.
Of course any Halloween cocktail should be served from a punch bowl with a frozen hand.
My mother did this for a party one year and it was unforgettable. Directions and photo credit

here. I hope to have one first-time trick-or-treater this year, but he is trying hard to figure out this bizarre holiday and may be too afraid to actually venture out in costume. If so we'll stay home and watch this, because it wouldn't be Halloween without it.
Happy Halloween!
