Arranging Your Zombie Party Table
When it comes to a party, the centerpiece is definitely the food table, and for a zombie-themed one you can go all out with creepy decorations and themed table settings.
Table Decorations
- Bloody Tablecloths: Use red or black ones that will create a dark atmosphere. You can even splatter some washable red paint over them to have a blood stains look-alike effect.
- Zombie Props: Include zombie hands, fake bones as well as fake body parts in the table setting. Arrange them among the food items strategically creating an awful scene.
- Creepy Lighting: Reduce lighting in the room and make use of LED candles or string lights that are green or red tinted so as to give your table an eerie glow.
- Themed Serving Ware: Brain-shaped bowls, and skull platters, among others, are serving dishes that fit perfectly within this theme.
Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables
Including seasonal fruits and vegetables in your zombie party is not only healthy but also makes it appear fresh while still maintaining its theme.
Disgusting Fruits
- Blood Oranges: These oranges may be sliced into pieces arranged like human eyes that seem bloody looking when served on plates.
- Pomegranate Seeds: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on tables resembling blood-like droplets; alternatively they can be used as toppings for desserts including salads.
- Black Grapes: Serve clusters of black grapes as “zombie eyes” for a fun and spooky snack.
Sinister Veggies
- Carved Peppers: For a creative and healthy option, hollow bell peppers out, and make them like small pumpkins. They can be filled with dips or other snacks as part of the Halloween theme.
- Creepy Crudités: These are vegetables such as celery, carrots, and cherry tomatoes arranged to look like skeletons or zombies.
- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds: Offer roasted pumpkin seeds as a crunchy snack, seasoned with a bit of spice for an extra kick.
Spooky Drinks
No zombie party would be complete without some chilling drinks.
Here are some fun ideas that will keep your guests refreshed and entertained throughout the event.
Chilling Elixirs
- Zombie Punch: Mix fruit juices and soda together for a punch that looks like a weird potion by adding a few drops of food coloring to it. Place gummy worms or plastic eyeballs into it to make it more creepy-looking.
- Monster Smoothies: Use vegetables like spinach or kale when making smoothies and sweeten them using fruits such as bananas and apples. Serve in clear cups that have red food coloring drips on the rims to imitate blood mummies.
- Witches’ Brew: Make a bubbling drink with dry ice. Combine soda or juice with dry ice for a foggy, witchy effect.
Ensure safety by handling dry ice carefully and keeping it away from direct contact with the drink.
Fun & Themed Appetizers & Snacks
The heart of any party lies in its appetizers and snacks; however, you can be very innovative when it comes to zombie themes.
Disney-Inspired Zombie Snacks
- Zombie Mickey Rice Krispies: Mold Rice Krispies into the shape of Mickey Mouse heads and use green and black icing to make them look like zombies.
- Goofy’s Green Goo: Have guacamole in green color with tortilla chips shaped as Mickey ears for a fun snack.
Plants vs. Zombies-Themed Food
- Peashooter Popcorn: Have popcorn that has been tinted green and is served in small cups labeled “Peashooter.” Melt white chocolate, add some green food coloring, and drizzle it on the popcorn so that it becomes sweet.
- Zombie Head Cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes using gummy eyes and frost them with green icing to resemble zombies from the game. These can be placed on a tiered stand for an appealing display.
Classic Zombie Appetizers
- Finger Foods: Prepare “severed fingers,” using mini sausages or breadsticks. Almonds or sliced peppers can serve as fingernails whereas ketchup simulates blood.
- Mummy Wraps: Wrap hot dogs or mini-sausages in strips of dough that have been rolled out from crescent rolls. Serve with ketchup for dipping sauce.
Kid-Friendly Zombie Snacks
Making kids happy is about making things fun but not too scary at all.
Sweet Treats
- Zombie Brains Jello: For a gory look, use red or green gelatin to make jell-o brains which are then topped with whipped cream.
- Monster Apples: Slice apples up before spreading some peanut butter on each slice. Monster’s faces may be formed by adding marshmallows or candy eyes while their teeth could be made out of slivered almonds
Healthy Options
- Cucumber Zombies: Use sliced cucumbers, olive slices for eyes, red pepper strips for mouths, and arrange them into several rows to create an army of zombies on a platter.
- Fruit Kabobs: These can be made by skewering fruits such as strawberries, grapes and melon balls with gummy worms or candy eyes stuck into them for a spooky effect.
