Lovely to be back Mama Hooch! Yes, University all done now - 3 years of my life just seemed to zip by! I'm not really sure to do with myself at the moment...but it does give me lots of time to plan Halloween hehe!!!! Hope things are good for you!

The vampire theme and all these great ideas sound so fun! True Blood is addicting, isn't it? The second season is really good so far! Are you going to make labels for bottles or is there actual True Blood you can buy? Hehe. I know you can buy the Merlott's t shirts on the HBO website, I think.

If your friends embrace a true blood theme, Don't forget shots of "V" (any red liquor, i.e. cherry pucker)
Put a "sam" nametag on your dog
serve Gran's pecan pie & Mary Ann's tropical fruit platters
Tie in the Lousiana Voo Doo/Creepy bayou stuff

Put a "sam" nametag on your dog

Oh, the dog is SO getting a "Sam" nametag!!! Great idea!!

I haven't done a vampire theme, but I remember one year just getting a lot of those cheap $1 bats and hanging them from my ceiling. I must've bought over 50 of them....they looked great!

Also...don't forget the bloody marys!

And I think buying that inexpensive black tulle would work great for black curtains. You could just drape it down along the walls and over door openings. Simple, but effective!

OMG the Fangtasia idea is really incredible. MHooch - I can't wait to see your pics....

No witches this year :-(

I'm still doing mine, but I can certainly get why you're changing to vampires...especially if you're co-ed...

Good for you!! I'm really thrilled! I hope they're as excited as my ladies are...all planning and wondering what the categories will be.... I am very excited about your vampire themed party. I'll try and come up with some ideas, although everyone here is doing a great job!

MHooch, you mentioned the scene setters - dungeon. In my Halloween Forum photo album for the Party that almost happened...I have pictures of the dungeon scene setter I used. I was happy with the over all effect. I used orange blinking buttons behind the scones and it was pretty cool. Take a look and see if you like the effect.

Hope your party is a big success. Looks like I will have to skip another year this year. My daughter and grandbaby live with me. My daugther informed me that i can not throw a party this year as she wants to throw me a birthday party instead. How can I say no to that! Only thing is she does not share my love of Halloween... so I guess it will be just a regular party...sigh! There's always next year.
