Corpse Buffet for a Haunted Hospital Theme - Page 2

Definitely an adult party, Scatterbrains. No one under 21 allowed. So yeah, I think the sausage is a definite must...though I may surprise my hubby by adding that at the last minute (he'll laugh so hard!).

I think we'll have to have a meat head too - I was looking over that post the other day and telling hubby about it, and he thought that was a great idea. French bread for the thighs, definately! I think I can make a bruchetta "loaf" so there will be red tomato filling between pre-cut slices. Perfect!

Thanks for all the links - I'll check out those fleshworms and more jello molds. I found the Alton Brown Panna Cotta brain - that is definitely going on our dessert list (I love panna cotta!). I need to find that bleeding heart recipe too...

I'll post pictures both of our "trial run" this summer (just to try it out) and the real deal for our party next fall.

We actually start on the inside of our house in September, and don't even decorate the yard until two weeks before Halloween. Our party is the weekend before Halloween every year (I think this is our 6th year), so the adults can come and have a good time, and then they can bring their kids around on Halloween night (we don't allow kids in the house for many reasons, but we sit out in the yard for trick-or-treaters). We're childless by choice, so the party is for us, and Halloween night we enjoy seeing all the kids come by in constume (and chatting with their parents).

Thanks again for all the great ideas...anything else people think of is certainly welcome!

This thread made me think of something I saw on here, which was a great idea, and would fit right in with your plan.

A doll's body was hollowed out, a dish of some sort was inserted, and this was used as a dip tray! Wonderful! I'm going to try and find the thread for you

I would say BBQ ribs for the ribcage for sure!

I think vodka jelly moulds would make a cool liver, something chocolately - chocolate eclairs perhaps - for the intestines, or spagetti baskets?

Cauliflowers for the lungs, with a bowl of red pesto dipping sauce between them (the heart) maybe?

Can't wait to see a picture when you've finished. It sounds amazing!

last week I was walking through the thrift store and saw a "styling" Barbie...if you can find something like that, you can ust off the top of her head and stick a bowl of ranch dressing in their for dipping...plus you can ghoul up her face and hair

Excellent ideas - thanks once again! I think the doll will work better on the snack table though...this particular "corpse" will take up the whole of our long dining room table. No alcohol in the food, unfortunately - we do have one alcoholic who attends, so for his sake, we leave all the food "sober", as well as the drinks clearly divided (non-alcoholic upstairs, bar downstairs). We will have jello shots (in actual syringes) this year, but they'll be downstairs on the bar. :-)

So many ideas, so little room - I think I need to do a sketch and start making some decisions...

I guess I'm really lucky. I believe that I have the best chip and dip bowls known to man:

My husband would *love* those, Rev. Great pics!

I make Canibal Canape:
Get a pair of baby sized pants, put a coffee can in the waist area to prop it up into sitting position, put two summer sausages sticking out for legs and put a bowl of spread or dip on top of coffee can, serve with cheese and a wicked looking knife for cutting up the legs.

You def. need Penn & Tellers bleeding heart jello and maybe a jello brain.

JamieMT sounds like a great idea for a party theme! Below is the link to my website, on the ENTER page scroll down to see the new food listings. Once you enter into the site the 1st page had several food pages you can visit. When you get time take a peek & you may find something there you can use!
