Place two tables of similar size side by side, about 12 inches apart, and lay the cardboard across the gap. Cover the tables and cardboard with a paper tablecloth. Cut a hole in the cloth to match the hole in the cardboard, and have a parent or friend hide underneath the table so that her head pokes out of the hole. To make a mock serving tray, cut a platter-size doughnut shape out of cardboard, making the hole just the size of her neck. Cut the doughnut in half, cover each half with aluminum foil, and rejoin around the jokester&#8217;s neck. Decorate the tray with vegetable garnishes and set the meal around the platter. Place a silver warming cover over the head and&#8211;voil\u00e0!&#8211;dinner is served.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Maggwire 336x280 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2621454674258736\" data-ad-slot=\"1771944705\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nIf you prefer the full body effect, set up a monster operation where partygoers can tweak, prod, and pull at the monster&#8217;s ghoulish insides (spaghetti intestines, chestnut water gallstones, and Jell-o guts).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Halloween Party Food Ideas, Tips and Tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Because kids are especially hopped up on candy and the sanctioned naughtiness of the holiday, you need to plan your Halloween party carefully or you, too, might turn into a monster.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment.jpg\" alt=\"haunted house ghost hunting equipment\" width=\"800\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-370x190.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment.jpg\" alt=\"haunted house ghost hunting equipment\" width=\"800\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maggwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Haunted-House-ghost-hunting-equipment-370x190.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3><strong>House-to-Haunted-House Party:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With this house-to-house party, a great holiday is made even better by extending the fun, varying the menu and bringing families and neighbors together. Don&#8217;t be scared. The point here isn&#8217;t for one family to throw a monstrous bash. Three families split up the work, each hosting a part of the party at their haunts. And the kids will love it: They&#8217;ll get to gobble some creepy cuisine, play wickedly fun games and take home a memory that will last far longer than their candy hoard. Here are three party suggestions including crafts, activities, and treats for a genuinely eerie adventure.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ghost House:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Children meet the Ghost Host, who welcomes kids into a world of white, bright and pure delight. A few days before the party, make Giggly Gravestones and Ghost Wind Socks decorate the entrance of your eerie estate and round up old sheets, lace, and craft-store cobwebs to dress the windows and cover the furniture. Make as much food as you can in advance so you can focus on setting the mood on the day of the party.

Beans (a playful parent with a mad glint in his eyes) has a problem. His grumpy green giant needs a head-to-toe checkup. The job&#8217;s too big for one madman, and that&#8217;s where the children enter. They squish and squeeze the monster&#8217;s guts until he has a clean bill of horrible health. Before the party, set up the doctor&#8217;s lab: Post clocks set to the wrong time, line windows with Monster Jugheads, round up wacky lights (from lava lamps to strobe lights) and make a party tape of dripping sounds. On Halloween, prepare the food and cut up veggies for the monster&#8217;s body.

Magic Wanda, a crazy clairvoyant (played by an adventurous mom) who&#8217;ll tempt kids with tantalizing treats and predict their futures (she has, of course, a crystal ball, but one unlike any we&#8217;ve ever seen). To add celestial seasoning to your abode, string cookies across the ceiling, drape your furniture with silk and velvet cloth, attach stick-on glow-in-the-dark moons and stars to the walls, and make a homemade tape of songs with lyrics focusing on magic, such as &#8220;Magic Bus&#8221; and &#8220;Magical Mystery Tour.&#8221; Once under Magic Wanda&#8217;s power, kids may not want to come back to earth. Return them to the present with a take-home treat and the promise of more magic to come next year.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Activities:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Fishing for Fortunes<br \/>\nStars and Moons Cookie Contest<br \/>\nMagic Manicure<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Monster Bash<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ever heard about the father who dresses up each Halloween as a scarecrow? He sprawls across a bench on his dimly lit front porch, just another decoration among the pumpkins and waits. When unsuspecting families come up to ring the doorbell, he lets out a groan, then another groan. &#8220;Did you hear that?&#8221; a startled guest asks. Some guests flee, most inch closer, poking tentatively at the patient scarecrow until they all dissolve into giggles. The father is an instant neighborhood hero.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Maggwire 336x280 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2621454674258736\" data-ad-slot=\"1771944705\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nFor this Halloween extravaganza, we consulted all the community heroes we know for their best gags, decorations, costumes and games.
