Comedian ("Strangers with Candy") and Entertainer Extraordinaire, Amy Sedaris, recommends hosting a Halloween Night Movie Party. "The fun of the party to me is the movie I'm featuring," says Sedaris, who personally recommends classics like Dracula and Frankenstein, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Trilogy of Terror, The Bad Seed, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Of course, there are countless movies from which to choose. To create the in-home theater, she moves the TV to the center of the room and arranges cushy beanbag chairs and furniture around it so everyone can see.
Then she places food trays around the room in accessible spots. She serves meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn because "you don't have to see it to eat it" and she also highly recommends pumpkin pie dessert and pumpkin seed snacks. She likes to start the Halloween fun with a pumpkin carving activity too.
Drinks can include a Bloody Mary, a Berry Rum Punch, Sangria or a witch's brew. Sedaris also recommends sending out invitations that look like a movie ticket or film reel, draping red velvet around the room, playing elevator muzak, setting up 25-cent concessions booths and throwing a few of the more traditional Halloween decorations around. "Entertaining alone is one of the most creative and rewarding experiences I can think of," she concludes.
