Wow, we had a vampire themed party last year, I'll have to look at pictures and try to remember what we did. Didn't do vampire food, every time I do weird food no body eats anything. We did construct a life size coffin, lined it with orange silky fabric and back lit it with orange Xmas lights. The door was half open, and we made a vampire prop and put him inside. We hooked up the fog machine to a small hole behind the coffin so fog would come out at intervals. A crow sitting on top, it was nice!
Ok, I'll write again when I remember...gets hard when you get old.

Oh, just remembered one thing. We rented the original Dracula movie, black and white, and played it on the big screen TV for background effects.
My invite was a video I made using clips of vampire movies. It was pretty good for a first effort, but the problem was too many people I emailed it to couldn't open it or see it. So this year I'm doing the old fashioned email invite! Our theme this year is witches.
